Kim Cheon, led by head coach Chung Jung-yong, left for Vietnam, the first winter training site for the 2025 season, via Incheon International Airport on the 27th. The team will sweat in Vietnam until the 21st of next month.
Gimcheon had its best performance in 2024. 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' ranked third with 18 wins, 9 draws and 11 losses (63 points). It is the highest ranking in the history of the military team. In addition, he also enjoyed producing A representative players such as Park Seung-wook and Kim Bong-soo.
Coach Chung and the team have conducted training inside the South Korean military athletic unit since the 16th. The team, which has completed basic condition checks through domestic training, will focus on improving their physical strength in Vietnam. At the same time, based on the disappointment of the 2024 season, he plans to strengthen his offense, partial tactics, and defensive organization, and enhance his sense of practice through practice games.
Coach Chung said, `I want to make up for what I felt bad about last season through off-season training. In addition, it will refine its offensive tactics and defensive organization, including several tactics. The biggest goal is to finish the first training camp without injury. Especially since the players are soldiers, I will do my duty."
Unlike last season, this off-season training is special in that it begins with 'full body'. Physical coach Shim Jung-hyun said, `Last season, the timing of players joining was different, so there was a difficulty in the entire squad 'periodization'. In this training session, more integrated and systematic training will be possible as all players start training together."
"'Captain' Kim Min-duk said, "'There are many things that players want to gain from the training camp. When I look back on last season, I plan to make up for what I felt sorry for. Personally, I want to improve my ball processing ability in build-up and defensive situations. Thank you to the fans for your support this season. We will show you more advanced performances through this off-season training, so I hope you come to the stadium again next season. 2024 is just around the corner, so I hope you take care of your health and wish you a happy new year.'
