"The scene that could be a penalty or a foul in the European league seems to go over in the K-League"

Jeonbuk Hyundai won 1-0 in the sixth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against FC Anyang at Anyang Stadium on the 30th. With this victory, Jeonbuk won the league for the first time in 43 days since its 2-1 victory in the first round against Gimcheon Sangmu on February 16, breaking the flow of four consecutive league games (two draws and two losses) and six official games (two draws and four losses).

Jeonbuk was declared a penalty in the 8th minute of the second half due to a collision between Park Jin-seop and Kim Da-sol, and Compagno, who played as a kicker, finished it and scored the first goal. After that, he blocked Anyang's offensive until the end of the second half to keep a gap of one goal.

Compagno, who was selected as a coach after the game, thought it would be a difficult game. I talked about that with the players even before I came here. We won by a score of 1-0. I needed a win recently, so I'm happy to take three points today."

Compagno returned injured in the match against Anyang. Jeonbuk has struggled with one draw and two losses in three games since Compagno's absence. Compagno said "Injuries are inseparable as a footballer, but it was heartbreaking when I was injured. I'm sorry that the results are not good when I'm out. I thought it was heartbreaking, but I'm happy to come back to the team and score the winning goal and contribute to the team's victory." As for my current physical condition "I'm in really good condition, and I'm almost all recovered. Of course, I don't think I was put in as a starter because I haven't done team training in the last two weeks. I think my body will be better in the next game," he added.

Compagno is the core of Jeonbuk's offense this season. Based on its strong right to provide, it has established itself as a threatening offensive route for Jeonbuk. However, checks have also increased. Compagno said the increased checks were motivation rather than burden.




He added "It's motivation rather than pressure. I think it's going well. The role is to contribute as a goal to play as a striker. Just as a goalkeeper should think of good defense first, he thinks a lot about winning and scoring every time he plays. It is natural for strikers to score more than burdens, and other players are involved in scoring, so I think it will improve if they burst their potential a little more and move on. We have won a point for the first time in a long time, so we look forward to going into a new chapter afterwards."

However, he could not hide his regret over the Compagno decision. Apart from the burden of excessive checks, it was evaluated that he clearly felt the generosity toward fouls. He said he had already experienced the Chinese Super League due to his roughness, but he would have to adapt to the K-League's decision.

Compagno "I think the league I've experienced so far is difficult. When the league changes, you have to adapt to its characteristics. I haven't played a few games so far, but I personally think it's a well-balanced league overall. Even if you watch other games, there are many one goal difference, such as 1-0 and 0-1. The league seems to be levelling up as a whole. In particular, I think the defenders are physically aggressive, but I think there is a part where the referees are lenient with the foul."




Then "In the European league, scenes that could be penalties or fouls seem to be passed in the K-League, so I think I have to adapt to that."," he added.

Regarding being coached by Foye, who has experienced the English Premier League, etc., "Of course, I'm enjoying it."The reason for making the transfer was because he was attracted to Jeonbuk, but there is a lot to learn from playing under coach Foye. I'm adapting to the Korean league, but I think I'm learning a lot from coaches, and I'm enjoying my time playing under Foye."
