Brentford lost 1-3 to Arsenal in the 19th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season at G-Tech Community Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 1st (local time). Kim Ji-soo entered as a substitute in the 30th minute of the second half. I ran for about 19 minutes until the extra time. Although it was a short time, he also showed solid defense and build-up ability following accurate passes.
I met Kim Ji-soo after the game. "I'm so grateful to be able to play against a team called Arsenal," he said. "It's not a lot of time, but I'm so happy with the time given. We will continue to prepare well in the future."
◇The following is a Q&A with Kim Jisoo
-They have been in league games for two consecutive games. He also faced Arsenal.
▶First of all, I think it's really nice to be able to play against a good team called Arsenal. It's not a lot of time, but I was very satisfied with the time I was given. I'm so happy to be able to play in the stadium like that. I think it would be best to prepare well and show the same good performance if we have a chance like this in the future.
-Actually, there were expectations for a start before today's game. Aren't you sad that you went out as a replacement?
▶I got so many calls. But this is the situation that keeps changing. I'll be able to start one day. Rather than being in a hurry and getting stressed, I think it's something I can do to show good performances and repay you with good performances.
-I made my league debut against Brighton last time. I think I've been relaxed since then as if I've relieved the burden on my mind.
▶No, it's not. It's still hectic. I'm always trying to focus on it. Rather than being relaxed, I'm usually a little calm, so it might look like that. But I always go into the stadium with excitement. It's also a team with the Premier League and Brighton Arsenal are really good teams, so I'm very grateful right now and I think I'm continuing to have very happy moments.
-How does it feel to play against Premier League teams in person?
▶First of all, it's fun. The tension is different from the League Cup, and the quality of the players is different. The tempo is faster than you think. When I first went into Brighton, I was a little surprised, but when I went in this time, we weren't playing a very tight game, so I think we adjusted quickly. This game is. I think the first thing to do is to match the speed of the Premier League. I think the most important thing right now is that the team has to win. Whether I run or not, the team has to win.
