‘Multi-goal following debut goal in 4 years’ Song Jin-gyu, “I’m happy to relieve the burden of my heart”

[골닷컴] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = Professional soccer K League 2 Ansan Greeners midfielder Song Jin-gyu (24) scored his first goal in four years since he made his professional debut in 2018. He then played an active role in the victory by scoring multiple goals.

Song Jin-gyu started as a central attacking midfielder in the 22nd round of Hana OneQ K League 2 2022 away match against Seoul E-Land held at Mokdong Sports Complex on the 22nd.

At the 13th minute of the first half, he calmly split the goal net with a non-stop left-footed shot from inside the box. Then, at the 34th minute of the first half, he entered the box and exchanged one-two passes with Lee Sang-min (27), aiming at the opposite goal and successfully scoring. It was a fantastic goal from a difficult angle.

Amidst these performances, Ansan coach Jo Min-guk (58) said in a meeting with reporters, “He is a player with good foot skills such as quickness and ball touch. I thought that I could score one goal if given a chance, and the second goal was good timing and shooting. “He did not hesitate to praise.

After the match, Song Jin-gyu, who met in the mix zone after the match, said, “I won the last match, but I did not get carried away because my results or rankings were not good. told

He continued, “There were a lot of difficult times before coming to Ansan after going through Suwon Samsung (K1). I’m glad that the multi-goal relieved me a little bit.” “The coach, coaches, seniors, and family give me great strength. This is what happened. Thanks to that, I didn’t lose my confidence,” he said.

the feeling of the game.

We won the last game, but we didn’t get carried away because our results or rankings weren’t good, and we all prepared with the thought of winning today’s match and moving up to a higher place. It seems that those parts were well exposed in the arena.

How does it feel to score your first goal and multi-goal since your professional debut?

There were many difficult times before I came to Ansan after going through Suwon Samsung. I’m glad that those times seem to have eased my mind a little bit because of the multi-goal.

Those who helped get through this long time.

Manager Jo Min-guk and the coaches were new at the beginning of this year, but they all gave me faith. So I was able to keep working hard without giving up. My family was also my biggest strength. During training and games, the senior hyungs also said good things. Thanks to this, I was able to not lose my confidence.

What the coach asked for before the game.

After receiving the ball from the attacking half, he told me to play aggressively. He said that there would be a good result if you hit it on the opposite side like in the second goal scene, but it was strange and happy that it led to another goal.

Ansan’s attack has come to life more clearly than at the beginning of the season.

It is true that the players lacked a lot of confidence due to poor performance in the beginning. So there were no good scenes of exchanging goals at the stadium. It’s okay to make mistakes in communication, so we were able to get good results on the playground by saying that we should trust and rely on each other.

E-Land equalized after being substituted out in the middle of the second half.

To be honest, after being replaced, I made my professional debut and multi-goal, so I really wanted to win. As time passed, I realized that the team came first. Because the atmosphere was down after a draw or losing, I cheered with one mind outside with the players.

Coach Jo Min-guk said that the physical part needs to be raised more.

I think the director is right. To complement, I am trying to do more personally, including individual exercise.

The last thing I want to say is.

Before the game, (Kang) Su-il had a joking talk with hyung. Soo-il promised that his older brother would give birth to a son a while ago and would be celebrating. But since I was my debut goal and multi-goal, I couldn’t celebrate. You always say nice things, and I want to say congratulations once again.
