-The fans criticized me, but I wonder if I'm conscious.
I knew it. While preparing for the game, the older brothers including Joo Min-kyu said, "Let's fight in the competition and keep a lot of balls." I remember that the game went well, so I prepared it like that.
-What's the meaning of the ceremony?
"I felt sorry to the fans. I didn't have a goal in my home stadium because I came from Daejeon. I felt so sorry for that. It was a meaningful, pleasant and cool goal, so I celebrated like that."
-What did you think when you heard the scolding?
A professional player should listen to such criticism, give feedback, and think. I had a lot of thoughts. Even if I failed to score a goal, I just wanted to help my team. I watched a lot of videos recently. It's a YouTube channel that teaches tactical things, and I thought I wanted to develop to that extent. When I was aggressive, I was worried about movement and touch. I tried to create a situation where my colleagues could receive the ball comfortably according to my movement. 토토사이트
