"Build-up, tough play, etc. are the things I need to learn."

Jeonbuk Hyundai U-17 (Yeongsaeng High School) defender Kim Gun-woo won the MVP award by beating Suwon Samsung U-17 (Mattango) 2-1 in the 2023 Ground.N K League Youth Championship High School U-17 final at Cheonan Stadium on the 28th.

Kim Gun-woo, whom I met after the game, said, "I'm happy because it's my first time winning the tournament in Jeonbuk," adding, "As it's the final, we asked to unite more and play until the end."

In the second half of the game with a 2-0 lead, he gave up a goal but kept the lead. Kim Gun-woo said, "I had to keep it until the end. I'm just sorry I lost one. "I was able to play comfortably with a two-goal lead, but I played a difficult game because I was trying to protect it," he looked back.

Jeonbuk U-17 is the first trophy and the best performance of the tournament. Jeonbuk, which has been far from the trophy since the championship was held for the first time in 2015, beat "strong" Suwon, which won the championship in 2017 and 2018.

Jeonbuk coach Lee Kwang-hyun said, "Gun-woo has a good physique. But you have to be a tough defender. The same is true of all players. He said, "I think I will be a good player if I highlight my strengths and make up for my shortcomings." 토토사이트

Kim Gun-woo laughed and said, "It's true that it's passive," adding, "The coach told me to make it rougher and sometimes foul." "I think about it, but I can't put it into practice," he confessed.

He is the first MVP in his life. Kim Gun-woo said, "It's too much to the point where I wonder if I can receive it. "I think I have to work harder," he said adding, "I'm confident in heading or airball competition due to my good physicality. He said, "I'm not behind in physical fights either."

The role models are Hong Jung-ho and Park Jin-seop. Kim Gun-woo said, "These are the parts I need to learn, such as build-up and tough play. "I want to make my professional debut in Jeonbuk Hyundai, and after that, I want to go to the national team and overseas," he vowed. "I have to try more." Then you can succeed like those players," he said.
