Gwangju FC's gatekeeper Kim Kyung-min shook off his heartache and flew much higher.
Gwangju FC won 1-0 in the 12th round home game of Hana Bank K League 1 against Gimcheon Sangmu at 4:30 p.m. on the 5th. Gwangju, which won three consecutive home games, ranked fifth with five wins, four draws and three losses (19 points) in 12 games.
Coach Lee Jung-hyo and Gwangju needed three more points than ever. They lost in two recent matches, and needed a change of mood. They lost 0-7 to Al Hilal in the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League Elite. They lost 0-3 in an away match against Ulsan HD, their first match after returning to Korea. Concerns have been mounting that if this happens, the team could lose confidence and thus have a negative impact on the remaining matches.
Worried ended up aggravating. Gwangju stood up like Ottogi after just three games. At the center of attention was Kim Kyung-min, who changed his mind after giving up 10 runs in the past two games. On the day, Kim blocked Gimcheon's sharp spearhead, which connected five of eight shots on target. After the game ended, coach Lee Jung-hyo gave a thumbs-up to Kim's performance. Even his rival Chung Jung-yong applauded. From Kim Kyung-min's point of view, he ended his poor pace in only two games and achieved a remarkable turnaround.
After the game, I met Kim Kyung-min. The following is a Q&A session.
-I wonder how you feel after the game.
For now, I'm really happy to win without losing a point, which I personally think is important. Winning 1-0 sounds the most positive to me. I thought I allowed a run in the first half, but it was canceled after a video review. There was a moment of crisis, but I think I got through it well.
- After conceding 10 goals in the previous two games, the team scored no point. I think I will feel more emotion.
The coach always says a lot of good things to me. When he allowed 10 goals in two matches, he made a joke. It meant positive things like, "Kyungmin, you are doing well enough. Don't get stressed in that area and don't hesitate to play well." Coach Lee Jung-hyo trusts all players and makes efforts to move in a good direction. I am grateful for that. From a player's point of view, it gives him an opportunity to gain confidence.
- Coach Lee Jung-hyo cited Kim Kyung-min's existence as the secret to his victory.
I'm just grateful that you told me that. It seems to me that nothing can be changed. I'm happy, but on the other hand, I'm sorry that I haven't been able to show good performance so far. I wanted to give more butter. I was upset that I could do better, but that part didn't work out well. However, if you are a professional player, you have to answer in the stadium. It's homework that I have to do on my own. 스포츠토토
- I wonder how my experience in ACLE matches is affecting me.
"There was a great achievement. I felt a lot. I hope these experiences don't end there. It doesn't mean much to just think about. It's important how to connect these things on the field. For now, I will study how to have more leeway and make it harder for the opponent. I am also thinking about how to make the opponent play more, make him more pressure, narrow down his options, and where is a good position to prevent fast shooting?"
- Many fans visited the stadium on Children's Day.
Children's Day is only held once a year. Thank you so much for coming to watch our soccer in that precious day. I heard that about 6,000 people came today. I hope there will be more than 10,000 people in the future and more than 20,000 people sequentially. I'm dreaming of a day when the Gwangju World Cup Stadium rings like an echo. The players have already experienced that once. I felt how big this is. Thank you for your support even now. This is what I said with the hope that Gwangju can develop further in the future.
