Song Min-gyu, who scored immediately after returning from injury, sympathized with the recent return of a bright atmosphere to Jeonbuk Hyundai.
Jeonbuk won 3-1 with Song Min-gyu’s winning goal in the Hana 1 Q K-League 1 2023 round 14 match against Suwon FC held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 21st.
With this victory, Jeonbuk raised their ranking to 7th (5 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses, 18 points). Under Kim Doo-hyun’s acting manager system, Jeonbuk prepared a foothold for entering the Final A (upper split) by running an undefeated march with 2 wins and 2 draws in 4 matches.
Song Min-gyu, who missed the match against Gangwon in the 10th round due to an injury, was substituted at the start of the second half when the match was 1-1, and scored the winning goal in the 8th minute with the help of Kim Moon-hwan.
Immediately after scoring, Song Min-gyu approached the Jeonbuk fans and roared, showing a slightly flushed expression.
Song Min-gyu met in the Mixed Zone (joint coverage area) after the game and said, “I am very happy that the team was able to win by scoring in the first game after coming back from an injury, and hearing the cheers of the fans in a home game after a long time made my heart a little sad and very much. I was impressed and it was a fun game,” he said.
When asked if he cried after scoring, Song Min-gyu thought about it and laughed, “It’s ambiguous to say he cried, and it’s in the middle. I didn’t cry, but I think I was a little warm.”
Song Min-gyu had an injury, but he was in good condition recently. He said, “First of all, I only thought that if I had to grow personally, I had to raise myself up. And again, I only thought that I should be more helpful to the team in a bad situation.”안전놀이터
He then replied, “Even in such a situation, I had no choice but to give joy to the home fans with good performances and results. I think I continued to whip myself.”
When asked if he agreed with acting manager Kim Doo-hyun when he said, “Jeonbuk has returned,” Song Min-gyu said, “It’s too much.” It is a team that needs to go. In the current situation, I think it can be said that Jeonbuk is back.”
The center of the second line, which Song Min-gyu played on this day, is not a familiar position to him as a winger. But he did well. Song Min-gyu said, “Coach Doo-hyun Kim (acting) told me to pay attention to the linkage with the position of receiving and carrying the ball in the half space (the 2nd and 4th spaces when the ground is divided into 5 vertically). I think you gave it to me,” he said.
He replied, “I like the role and I think it fits the style. I think the coach thought to bring out my strengths to the fullest.”
