"If you're this good, you should call me 'hyung'"

In the soccer world, there is a common belief that `no matter how old you are, if you do well, you are an older brother.' Daegu FC head coach Kim Byung-soo, who won his first point in the head coach's debut match against Gwangju FC on the 1st, gave the best praise of '88-born goalkeeper'Oh Seung-hoon, who defended his valuable point with a stormy defense. Daegu FC drew 1-1 at home against Gwangju FC in the 17th round of Hana Bank's K League 1 at 7 p.m. on the 1st at Daegu iM Bank PARK. In Kim's debut, he succeeded in escaping three consecutive losses.

The guardian of the point on the day was veteran goalkeeper Oh Seung-hoon. Since the match against Gwangju in early April, he has not been on the ground for nearly two months due to an injury to his pinkie. Oh Seung-hoon flew up as if determined on the day, which was his first return match in two months. He allowed Asani to score the first goal of the penalty kick in the first half, but he blocked Gwangju's wave offensive, 10 shots, and 6 effective shots with his whole body. He blocked Ju Se-jong's cross and Moon Min-seo's shot in the early part of the first half, and overcame Gwangju's free-kick chance and Ju Se-jong's deep cross in the 22nd minute of the first half. In the extra time of the second half, Hayes' shot aimed at the corner of the net 'Square' was also blocked by Oh Seung-hoon's super save. Daegu's young guns also ran and ran with all their might to die due to the unscrupulous dedication of the last chief. Manager Kim Byung-soo said, `I saw the players' fighting spirit. Our players will be even greater,' he said, singing hope.

Oh Seung-hoon, who met after the game, welcomed Kim Byung-soo's remarks 'hyung'. "If I can be a big brother, I'll do my best every game."," he answered with courage. It's already been 4 years in Daegu. Oh Seung-hoon, who has always been trusted by his teammates as an icon of sincerity, diligence, sacrifice, and dedication in Ulsan and Jeju in the K League, confessed about the recent relegation zone trials, `To be honest, I am tired and tired every day.' "But I'm trying to take the center stage because I'm a veteran and I'm the oldest."

Oh Seung-hoon was desperate in his return match for the first time in two months. "I thought it was before my debut. It's true that my senses also fell because I had a gap and I tried to concentrate. I thought I was a professional debut player and shouted more, and the result came out." Several times, I looked back on the disappointment before Super Save. "It's a game that I'm not satisfied with myself. It is regrettable that the part that was not handled clearly in the cross situation. It was the same at the last cross of extra time. However, if the sense of play goes up, he will be able to support the players from behind so that they can trust and do it."

As a professional senior and veteran who has experienced everything in his life, he gave advice from experience for his juniors during the manager's replacement period. "When the director changes, it becomes chaotic. Changes can be made, confusion can come, and they may not be able to play. Rather than feeling bad, I want you to shout once more and try for the team even if you can't go to the game for the team. This is the biggest I've ever experienced. I saw that even if they didn't play well, they talked to each other well and then it led to the team's performance. Even if I can't go to the game, I want to tell my juniors that if I always prepare well, I will have a chance."




The 37-year-old goalkeeper, who has been with Daegu fans' enthusiastic support, the joy of the click ball, and the ordeal of the relegation zone, agonized for a long time when asked what Daegu FC means to soccer life. And he replied. "It's my fourth year and it's the team that's been around for the longest time. There were really good times and really hard times came at the same time. As a result, it is the team that comes to mind the most in professional life. It's the team I want to be the last."

-a general review of the game




▶ It was the coach's debut and my return to injury. Although he did not get three points, it was a game where he saw the possibility as a team.

-Coach Kim Byung-soo said, "If you play like this, you're going to be like this."

▶He encouraged the players to play confidently before the game. I am grateful for that. The 'brother' part isn't bad either. If I can be an older brother, I will do my best every game.

-It's my fourth season in Daegu, and I think I'll be stressed and tired because I'm in the relegation zone following last year.

▶To be honest, every day is really tiring and hard. But since I'm a veteran and I'm the oldest, how will my young friends look so obvious??I'm going to center the door. The team is gaining strength because vice-captain (Hwang) Jae-won and (Jung) Chi-in are helping a lot.

-The goalkeeper also needs to compete for the starting lineup.

▶First of all, it's positive for our team. It's natural to compete with each other. That's why it came out when I was more nervous and prepared well. If you do well regardless of which player you are, Daegu FC will develop.

-It was his first return match in two months. During rehabilitation, the team's performance must have been difficult, so how did you feel about playing.

▶I thought it was before my debut. It's true that my senses also fell because I had a gap and I tried to concentrate. I think the result was that I shouted more thinking that I was making my professional debut. It's a game that I'm not satisfied with myself. It is regrettable that the part that was not dealt with reliably in situations such as crosses. It was the same at the last cross of extra time. However, if the sense of play goes up, I think I can be a support behind the scenes that the players can trust and do.

-It was Kim Byung-soo's debut game, but as a goalkeeper, did you feel the change in your teammates in the last room.

▶As the director prepared for a short time, there was nothing that could change the details. He explained it well so that the players understood it, and I have high expectations that it will get better in the future. I also learn a lot and look forward to it.

-Why is Daegu struggling as a veteran?

▶Daegu FC Team Color is a team where young players play like crazy from start to finish. It also developed technologically, leading to synergy. It wasn't enough. I tried hard, but it didn't come out, so it led to a team performance. It's not that young players did anything wrong. As a veteran, I feel very sorry.

-It looked like he was playing a lot of long kicks instead of build-ups.

▶The coach ordered it to be easy rather than trying to do well in the back, and focused on long kicks.

-What do you want to say to your juniors during the manager's replacement period as a veteran who's been through all sorts of hardships.

▶When the director changes, it becomes chaotic. Changes can be made, confusion can come, and they may not be able to play. Rather than feeling bad, I want you to shout once more and try for the team even if you can't go to the game for the team. This is the biggest I've ever experienced. I saw that even if they didn't play well, they talked to each other well and then it led to the team's performance. Even if you can't go to the game, I want to tell you that if you are always preparing well, you will have a chance.

-What does Daegu FC mean for soccer life?

▶It's been 4 years and it's the team that's been around for the longest time. There were really good times and really hard times came at the same time. As a result, it is the team that comes to mind the most in professional life. It's a team I hope will be my last.
