"You could say last year's season was a failure. But it can also be a good motivation to do well in this year's season."

At a press conference held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium in Jeollabuk-do on the 13th, a day before the first leg of the round of 16 of the 2023-2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL), Jinsu Kim said, “My pride was hurt a lot last season.”
Jeonbuk will play the first leg of the round of 16 against Pohang Steelers at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 14th, and will play the second leg away on the 20th.
This is the first official match of 2024 not only between the two teams but also Korean professional soccer.
Jeonbuk, which ranked lower than 3rd for the first time since the introduction of the promotion system in 2013 last season, has set a goal to regain its status as a championship candidate in 2024.
Kim Jin-su, who was tasked with restoring the team's honor as captain, looked back on last season and said, "I think the pride of not only everyone working at Jeonbuk Hyundai, but also the fans, has been hurt a lot."
He added, "We tried to do well, but all of the players feel responsible for not being able to do so. No matter which player you ask, the answer will be the same. Of course, winning is the goal."
Kim Jin-su, who said, “It is an honor in itself to be the captain of a big team like Jeonbuk,” said, “If it’s our team, we must win on the field. I want to instill confidence in the players that we can win.”
At the same time, he emphasized that there was no need to be intimidated against Pohang, which struggled with 1 draw and 4 losses last season.
Jeonbuk Hyundai Manager and Captain
Jeonbuk Hyundai Football Team coach Petrescu and captain Kim Jin-soo are expressing their opinions on the AFC Champions League round of 16 match against Pohang at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of the 13th.
Jinsu Kim said, "The fact that we couldn't beat Pohang last year is proof that we couldn't do it. Pohang did well last year," and added, "I think we also trained well in the off-season. If we do what we prepared, I think we will get the results we want."
Kim Jin-su, who participated in the 2023 AFC Qatar Asian Cup as a member of the national team, once again emphasized that his physical condition was fine.
Jinsu Kim said, "I'm in good physical condition. I joined the team and trained well. I'm not in any pain right now."
Kim Jin-su, who injured his calf early in the Asian Cup, has not played once except for the final group match against Malaysia.
Kim Jin-soo, who did not receive a chance to play, met with reporters after the semifinals against Jordan (0-2 loss) on the 7th and directly stated that there were no aftereffects from the injury, saying, "I haven't been sick even once since the Malaysia game." 토토사이트
