FC Seoul prospect Kang Joo-hyuk was not satisfied at all even though he led the team to victory.

FC Seoul won 1-0 in the 24th round of 'Hana One Q K League 1 2024' against Gimcheon Sangmu at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 21st. With this victory, Seoul secured sixth place.

On this day, Seoul struggled with Gimcheon's tight defense. Ilyuchenko had several decisive opportunities, but the attack became increasingly frustrating as he failed to tie the knot. At that time, the card taken out by Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong was Kang Joo-hyuk, born in 2006.



The effect of Kang Joo-hyuk's input hit the mark. In the 6th minute of the second half, Kang Joo-hyuk followed the long pass that he thought he could not receive to the end and then delivered it to Han Seung-gyu. Han Seung-gyu handed it over to Ilyuchenko, and Ilyuchenko did not miss the opportunity this time. Seoul won by keeping the score of Ilyuchenko well.

After the game, coach Kim Ki-dong said, "(Kang) Sung-jin couldn't play the role when the pass went into the space." I expected (Kang) Joo Hyuk to play the role. It was right to put it in such a flow of the game. It's a necessary resource for the team and the style I want, so I'll keep using it," he praised Kang Joo-hyuk's performance.



Ilyuchenko also "I want to say congratulations to Joo Hyuk." It's not my goal, it's Kang Joo-hyuk's goal. I didn't give up until the end and passed it. I want to give my goal to Juhyuk," he praised Kang Joo-hyuk.

However, Kang Joo-hyuk's expression after the game looked like why he was interviewing me. There was a reason. "'I don't think I did a good job.'" He said, "'Before entering the game, the coaches or coaches told me to run if I caught the ball, so I ran around like crazy, but I think I was lucky enough to have a good situation and it led to the goal.'"



Why did he run like that after seeing the ball that he didn't think he would have caught Kang Joo-hyuk. "At that time, the thought that came to mind was 'I can't do it unless it's this situation." I didn't want to run because I thought I had to take it away and change the flow, but I think it helped me because I ran," he said, lowering himself.

In response to Ilyuchenko's praise, `Ilyuchenko said 'You did it. I was really touched at the time by saying thank you very much. I'm grateful for Ilyuchenko and I'm so grateful for scoring a goal."

Kang Joo-hyuk knew that he only did well in that situation. After entering as a substitute in the second half, Kang Joo-hyuk's presence gradually faded as time passed. I looked exhausted. Kang Joo-hyuk also said, `I think I couldn't control my pace because I was immersed a lot in the early situation. I think it was a little disappointing because I was tired and couldn't run around in the second half. As I continue to experience it, I think I need to grow on my own", he said he would improve his shortcomings.
