Edgar (Daegu FC), a striker born in 1987, is well over 30 years old and is heading for 40. Some raised the possibility of retirement ahead of this season. However, Edgar is continuing his career by renewing his contract with Daegu.
The responsibility is heavy. He is guarding the team at a time when some foreign players, including Cesinha and Ramas, are going through rehabilitation and return due to injuries. 'Hana Bank scored three goals in 16 games of K League 1 2025' But apart from his efforts, the team situation is not good. Daegu only accumulated 13 points (3 wins, 4 draws and 12 losses) in 19 games since the opening. In the meantime, head coach Park Chang-hyun was replaced, and acting head coach Seo Dong-won briefly led the team. Currently, head coach Kim Byung-soo is leading the team.
Edgar saved his team from losing by scoring a valuable equalizer in a home game against the Pohang Steelers at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 17th. He scored in the 37th minute of the second half when his team was losing 0-1. Daegu fans were enthusiastic, and Edgar was emotional when he saw those fans. Edgar did not cry after the game"I was so happy. I wanted to help the team. A point was needed. As we lost points in the first half, I think we lacked the tactics or strategies we prepared. "
Edgar wore a uniform for Daegu through the summer 2018 transfer window. Although he had a difficult time due to injuries, he was always at the center of Daegu. Edgar also scored a valuable goal in the second round of the promotion playoff (PO) last year, leading Daegu to stay. However, this season is also in crisis.
He "It's true that things are really bad. We are more focused and doing our best in training. I think if these parts get a little better and win the game, I think I can get out of this situation."
Edgar "The director is new. The former coach and the acting manager have different football philosophies and thoughts. I'm trying to understand a lot of what director Kim Byung-soo is saying. The coach tells me a lot about how to play soccer to get better. I'm also giving a lot of motivation. Both the players and the coaching staff feel the same way. If the motivation is a little better, good results will come out. One of the things the coach says is that 'Every player has a different idea. He stresses that we have to tie it together. I think I can bring good results if I get a lot of these parts out of the stadium."
Daegu will face Gangwon FC on the 21st. In the end, Edgar has to do it again. Director Kim Byung-soo said, `I'm thinking about how to use Edgar effectively. I think we need to think deeply about where we can give Edgar strength."
Edgar is not a young player. I know there are a lot of soccer clocks now. I know the time for retirement is coming. However, now, the coaching staff controls the intensity of training. I think it's important how to take care of your body outside the stadium. Currently, he is controlling well with consideration from his surroundings. I'll do my best in the stadium."
