It was the smile of Cho Young-kwang (21, Seoul E-Land). Cho Young-kwang started in the 38th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2024' against Gyeongnam FC at Changwon Football Center on the 3rd and played on the ground for 45 minutes. Cho Young-kwang started for two consecutive games following the match against Seongnam FC in China. It was my first time since my professional debut. Cho Young-kwang said, `I expected it, but I wasn't satisfied. Gyeongnam defenders defended in a smeared form, but it was a little insufficient to cope with it."
However, E-Land secured its second playoff spot with a 3-0 victory on the day. At the same time, he booked the best performance of the foundation by shooting at least third place. Cho Young-kwang laughed, `I'm really happy because I feel like I'm one step closer to promotion.'
Cho Young-kwang, who went to Dongguk University after graduating from Hyundai High School and distinguished himself in the U-League, was called up to the Ulsan HD first team ahead of this season. However, there was no place for him in powerful Ulsan. Director Kim Do-kyun, who knows Cho Young-kwang's talent well, takes him on loan after taking the helm of E-Land??All.
His first season as a professional was not as easy as expected. It was also difficult to seize the opportunity. The contrast light `certainly makes a difference. It was the same when I went to college from high school, but professionals have to think faster, and they are strong and fast. It wasn't easy to get used to." Manager Kim's presence was a great help. Cho Young-kwang "I think he has a lot of affection from the way he curses a lot. If you're not interested, you don't even swear. I'm always grateful."
I silently prepared and waited for the right time. Still, he played eight games. Cho Young-kwang "I'm grateful for the little jump. There was a lot of regret and a lot to learn from." Then "When I had the opportunity, I had to show all of myself even for five minutes, which is a shame. I also had a chance to score against Busan or Seongnam, but I'm sorry I missed it." He laughed "I'm trying to catch him again."
Cho Young-kwang said, `Originally, I thought of 10 offensive points as I entered the season. When I bumped into it, I thought it would be hard to do one, let alone 10. So I'm going to set it as my goal for the next season. I've seen a lot of relief, and it's a little better to supplement it, 蠻?I'm confident that I'll get better in the future because I thought it might be."
