Shin Jae-won scored a goal that expressed Seongnam’s hope. Seongnam has been going through a huge ups and downs this season, and at the same time, it has high hopes for its new coach, Jeon Kyung-joon. Shin scored his first goal for Seongnam under Jeon. After the game, he listened to Shin in the mixed zone.
First of all, Shin Jae-won said, “The new coach came and we prepared together for about a week. He is leading us in the direction you want. The players also prepared accordingly. Today’s result is unfortunate, but I think we need to follow the direction the coach wants to go. I don’t know how good the performance was, but I think I can follow the coach’s football philosophy well.”
Shin Jae-won said, “Coach Jeon Kyung-joon was like that outside the team, and he is a very smart coach, just as he is now. He is good at detail. He is the type of person who plots strategies according to players. He is now in the process of setting the framework. The players are also trusting the coach and following him well,” adding, “I was playing as a wingback this year, but after the coach came, I came up as a striker. What the coach asked me to do was to gain speed and penetration. He also ordered crosses and decisiveness.” 먹튀검증
Also, he recalled the goal scene, “I knew Jung Seung-yong’s pass would come to me. Seung-yong said he saw me, too. I saw the goal post, so I pushed it in. This is my strength. If you are a striker, you have to score a goal.”
There are still many things to fix because it is still in the early days of the Jeon Kyung-joon system. Shin Jae-won said, “My physical strength fell in the second half. It was not easy to maintain the gap between the players. So I got a lot of passes. Today’s game had more complementary points than advantages.”
Shin Jae-won also reiterated his trust in Coach Jeon Kyung-joon. “I will trust him and follow him well. I will make a system and wear it to the players,” Shin said. To be honest, the game right now may not look like the coach. It will take time. Still, the players try to match him.”
