Jeonbuk Hyundai's pillar Jeon Jin-woo (26) is not showing any signs of success. He has already reached "career high" in the early days of the season.
Jeon Jin-woo scored the first goal in the 42nd minute of the second half when he faced Daejeon Hana Citizen 0-0 in the 12th round home game of "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 6th. After receiving Thiago's assist in the penalty box, he beat the defender and shook the net with a seasoned shot that penetrated the corner of the net.
This is his seventh goal of this season. Jeon Jin-woo has set a new personal goal record in a single season. When he was with Suwon Samsung, he had six goals in 2022. This season, he has achieved seven goals in just 12 games.
Jeon was the only striker who played full-time. While Kompanyo, Song Min-gyu, and Kim Jin-gyu headed to the bench at the same time at 20 minutes in the second half, Gus Foyet was on the ground only for Jeon. He responded by scoring goals, giving his team the lead. "I thought it would be dangerous to exclude both Kompanyo and Jin-woo," Foyet said after the game.
Jeon Jin-woo, who left Suwon to join Jeonbuk last summer, has become a key offensive resource of his team. He saved his team in the last minute's promotion and playoffs, and has rapidly emerged as a key player under Foye.
"After coming to Jeonbuk, I am focusing on using my strength near the opponent's box. As I am with a good player, I have many opportunities," Jeon said, giving credit to his teammate.
Jeon is close to the position of top scorer Joo Min-gyu. He is leading the league with eight goals. If Jeon Jin-woo scores one more goal, he will tie the game. Given the current trend, expectations can be high.
"On the surface, I don't want to be greedy. I don't want to be the top scorer," Jeon said. "I just want to be helpful to my team by utilizing it when the opportunity arises. It is important for other players to score goals and win the championship. Then, I will be evaluated whether all players are good or not."
However, the result was regrettable for both Jeon and his team. Kim scored the equalizer at the 2nd minute of extra time in the second half. Four minutes of extra time was given, but the team missed the victory. Jeonbuk had 22 points, failing to narrow its gap with the leading Daejeon (27 points). 토토사이트
"If you have confidence, you will be able to display good performance. I believe that my goal is to win, and I will enter the game with the mindset of winning," Jeon said, expressing his commitment to win the championship title.
