'National Team Striker'Jo Min-kyu (Daejeon Hana Citizen) exploded again.
Joo Min-kyu scored the winning goal in the 42nd minute of the second half in the third round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against Suwon FC at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 2nd. It was Joo Min-gyu's first home goal. He broke the 0-point march, which was unbroken despite the wave of attacks, leading to a valuable 1-0 victory for the team. Daejeon, which lost 0-2 against Ulsan HD last time, changed the atmosphere and reported its second win of the season.
It was the winning goal that showed Joo Min-kyu's concentration. Jeong Jae-hee jumped in and connected Anton's left-footed cross with a right-footed volley shot. Goalkeeper Ahn Jun-su saved it nicely. Joo Min-kyu, who was in a good position, finished the ball with an acrobatic movement. Joo Min-kyu scored the only effective shot on the day. On this day, Joo Min-gyu's expected score was 0.13, and his expected score per point was 7.70.
Joo Min-kyu, who left Ulsan this season and wore a Daejeon uniform, is performing amazingly. He leads the scoring with three goals in three games. The decisiveness is remarkable. Joo Min-gyu recorded three effective shots this season, all of which led to goals. Joo Min-kyu's expected score in three games this season was only 0.97, which is less than a single goal, and he scored three goals. The expected score per point is 3.08. It is exactly what Daejeon expected by recruiting Joo Min-kyu. Daejeon is cruising, harvesting six points from its first three games.
The problem is that the score is concentrated on Joo Min-gyu. Daejeon scored four goals this season, of which Joo Min-kyu scored three. The proportion amounts to 75 percent. Of course, it's early days, but the story changes when you look at the detailed records. Daejeon's expected score in three games this season is fourth among 3.39.12 teams. The number of shots (33) and effective shots (10) is also fifth. The process of making is not bad. Even if the share of the resident regulation is excluded, Daejeon's expected score is 2.42. In other words, even without the resident regulation, more than two goals can be scored.
However, in addition to Joo Min-gyu, he has only one goal. In the match against Suwon FC, it was difficult to score even though it had the second highest expected score (1.32) after Gwangju FC (1.36) in the third round. The addition of a more certain goal scorer is certainly a great force, but there is a problem with leaning to one side. In fact, Daejeon failed to score in the match against Ulsan, where Joo Min-kyu was silent. On this day, Joo Min-gyu failed to make a single effective shot. Director Hwang Sun-hong also said "It is a concern that we are highly dependent on resident regulations."
In the end, in order for Daejeon to go higher, it must make the most of the residents' rules and revive the strikers around it. In Daejeon, there are many strikers who can ease the burden on residents such as Martha, Jung Jae-hee, Kim In-gyun, Yoon Do-young, and Gutech.
