It was the smile of Kim Jin-kyu, the ace of Jeonbuk Hyundai. Jeonbuk has gone 22 games undefeated. Jeonbuk won 2-0 against Gangwon FC at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 23rd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' with consecutive goals by Kim Jin-kyu and Compagno. Jeonbuk, which has been undefeated in 22 games, including the Korea Cup, has 51 points, and became the first K League 1 team to break the 50-point mark this season.
Jeonbuk had a regret that the penalty and goal were canceled in the early stages, but it opened with Kim Jin-kyu's wonderful mid-range shot in the 38th minute of the first half. Four minutes later, Compagno even scored a penalty. Jeonbuk, which enjoyed a numerical advantage due to Kim Dae-woo's exit in extra time, finished the complete victory by replacing Kim Tae-hwan, Hong Jung-ho, and Jeon Jin-woo.
Kim Jin-kyu, who went to the press conference after the game, said "Gangwon prepared well defensively. I thought I should shoot well whenever I met. I had space, so it was good to try even though it was my left foot. Then "As soon as I shot it, it looked like it was going in when I saw the trajectory. The angle of the free kick in the second half is ambiguous, so if there was a left-footed player, I think I could confuse the goalkeeper, but it was fortunate that it led to an effective shot."
Jeonbuk has changed dramatically. Kim Jin-gyu commented on this "Tactically easy to understand and briefly. If you play physically, you are well prepared.' In addition, it is different from the sports that soccer players should do and the physical sports they have done so far. I did weight, but soccer is a sport that requires a lot of running on the playground, so I played a lot on the playground, and there was a lot of training to play intensely. I think I do a lot of weight lifting in the season. I played a lot in the winter and did a lot of weight during the season.
Kim Jin-kyu did not receive an intermediate position in the beginning. "I've taken it to the next level in terms of performance and mental performance through the tough times in the early stages. "Thanks to those times, I feel like I'm getting the opportunity, feeling the importance of playing the game, and playing the game."
Jeonbuk is playing without any changes in its members. Kim Jin-kyu said, `Recently, there have been many games in which we have scored the first goal, and there have been many games in which we have been dragged, but we have come from behind to win because the replacements have done well. Since he showed that kind of performance, I think that if the best players go to the next game, they can change if they don't do it this time. He also sent such a message before the game began today. The players who went out first prepared a little more and played the game. "
Finally, even if he loses, it's important how he loses. I think you have to do well to have the strength to recover in the next game. I'll try not to lose, but I have to do what I've been doing, even if I'm dragged like the recent games. Even if you lose, it's important to recover quickly."
