“I am motivated and will work harder”.
Jeonbuk Hyundai lost 1-2 to Ulsan Hyundai in the Hana 1 Q K-League 1 2023 opening game held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 24th.
Ahead of the game, Jeonbuk coach Kim Sang-sik said, “If you talk about Jun Amano, he is a healthy and calm player. When he started, he believed he would do well. In addition, Jun Amano also showed confidence,” he said. “I told Jun Amano to break through head-on. He emphasized to prove it on the playground. He showed confidence, saying, “I started as a starter and I think he can do well enough.”
Amano laughed and congratulated his former teammates at the ‘Guards of Honor’ event before the match. Even after that, he laughed and exchanged greetings with Bako and Kim Young-kwon, preparing for the first confrontation.
After the match started, Amano’s expression changed. He harassed the Ulsan defense through strong forward pressure, and in the 6th minute of the first half, he collided strongly with Seol Young-woo.
Director Kim Sang-sik’s trust was repaid by Amano Jun. From the start of the game, he constantly put forward pressure with the attacking team. Starting with one-top Cho Kyu-seong, the second line of attackers started defending in Ulsan, and rarely gave the opponent a chance.
An opportunity came to Jeonbuk, who were constantly putting pressure on them. After Lee Dong-Jun broke through from the front of the arc, Yim Ong-Jun sent the connected ball to the gate, Song Min-Gyu scored with a left-footed shot, and Jeonbuk scored the first goal.
Even after assisting the opening goal, Amano Jun continued to display fast movements from the front. Using Jun Amano, who is relatively faster than Kyu-Sung Cho, Jeonbuk moved more actively and put pressure on Ulsan goalkeeper Cho Hyeon-Woo.
Amano played his role faithfully despite Ulsan’s intensive checks, and was replaced by Andre Luiz in the 14th minute of the second half to finish his first game after transferring to Jeonbuk.
Ahead of the game, placards for Jun Amano were hung in the stands on this day. But Amano Jun didn’t care much. After the game, he said, “I also saw the placards raised by Ulsan fans. But rather, it motivated me. I wanted to run harder. It’s really unfortunate that I couldn’t share the team’s victory.”
Next, Amano Jun said, “I lost, but I only lost one game in a long season, so I will try to make better grades and better results in the future.” “I wanted to score today, but I couldn’t. “he said.
Although there was a conflict with the manager, the players still welcomed him with a welcome look. Jun Amano explained, “The Ulsan players entering today’s match had a lot of friendly and familiar faces, so they smiled and clapped. During the game, we exchanged simple stories and when we bumped into each other, we said, ‘Isn’t it okay?'”. 토토사이트
He also expressed his gratitude to Jeonbuk coach Kim Sang-shik. Before the game, coach Kim personally confirmed to Jun Amano whether he would play against Ulsan. Amano Jun said, “If the manager needs it, he said that he would participate unconditionally. In particular, he really wanted to do well because the coach sent him faith. In the next match, I will make a twist through a better appearance.”
