Daegu added weight to its defense by recruiting veteran defender Woo Joo-sung through a trade against Gyeongnam on the 11th. With this trade, midfielder Lee Chan-dong will wear the Gyeongnam uniform. South Gyeongsang Province also strengthened its midfielder line's energy level by recruiting Lee Chan-dong as a 'middle-field hustle player.'"
Since his professional debut in Gyeongnam in 2014, Woo has been active as a main defender on a team in Gyeongnam except for his military service (Kim Cheon Sang-mu). He is a veteran with 9 points and 15 assists in 284 games in the K League. In particular, it has excellent location selection, strong interpersonal defense, and stable build-up capabilities, and is evaluated as a multi-resource that can play both central defense and right sideback.
Woo Joo-sung fits well with Daegu's tactical color, which values ball ownership and build-up based on accurate passing and game coordination, and his outstanding leadership and exemplary attitude are expected to be an example for fellow players as he served as captain. Through this recruitment, Daegu plans to strengthen the flexibility and organization of defensive tactics and create synergy in the fierce second half of the year ranking competition.
Woo Joo-sung said, "I played only in Gyeongnam and moved for the first time, and I'm really grateful that the team is Daegu. It's an honor to give me the opportunity to try again on the K League 1 stage, and I'm looking forward to being able to stand in front of the fans in Parc. As the team is in a difficult situation right now, I want to be a player who melts quickly for the team rather than personal goals and helps achieve team goals on and off the field. I will do my best to show you good performances on the ground as soon as possible," he said. Cosmic will take on a new challenge with No. 55.
Lee Chan-dong, who weighs 1m83, 80kg, is strong in active ball competition and a wide range of activities. He plays actively on both sides of offense and defense. He also has excellent control over the midfield as he has both defensive ability and forwardness in offense in the third line. It is expected to have a positive impact on team tactics as a multi-resource as it can play positions such as defensive midfielders and center backs.
Lee Chan-dong, who made his professional debut in Gwangju in 2014, played 195 games in the K League alone after playing in Jeju, Sangju Sangmu, and Daegu. He also played for Chonburi FC, a member of Thailand's first division, and gained great experience at home and abroad.
With its unique positive and bright personality and leadership, it is expected to contribute to the formation of a positive team atmosphere in Gyeongnam outside the ground.
Lee Chan-dong even scored in a practice game against Gyeongnam when he was in college. Using this good memory, I will now show my fans how to play in Gyeongnam Province."
