FC Seoul of the K-League 1 professional soccer team announced on the 5th that it had recruited side defender Choi Jun (24).Choi Jun is a player with high tactical value as he can play both left and right wing defenses.Choi Jun, who began his professional career by joining Ulsan HD as a priority pick in 2020, made his debut as a loanee at Gyeongnam FC of the K League 2 (second division) in June of the same year.He then moved to Busan I-Park in 2021, and has been playing as the team’s representative throughout the K League 2 stage until last year. He also performed outstandingly on the age group national team.In particular, he contributed to Korea’s ‘runner-up legend’ by scoring the winning goal with a sensational shot in the semi-final against Ecuador at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup.
He also helped Korea win the gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held last year.Seoul’s offense was good enough to tie for first place in league scoring (63 goals) last season, but its defense left much to be desired.It was tied for 4th place in league goals conceded (49 goals), and the final ranking was 7th place.The club said, “With the recruitment of Choi Jun, who was evaluated as the ‘biggest’ wingback in the winter transfer market, we have been able to add to our defensive stability,” and expected, “It will be a great addition to the team’s tactical management that new coach Kim Ki-dong will draw in the 2024 season.”Choi Jun said, “I have now entered my fifth year as a professional, and I am looking forward to being able to challenge the K-League 1 stage again,” and added, “I decided to (transfer) because I thought Seoul was a team that could compete for the championship.”Choi Jun will exchange his first greetings with Coach Kim and his new teammates during his first training session at the GS Champions Park in Guri, Gyeonggi 온라인카지노 Province.Seoul’s first winter training camp will be held in Hua Hin, Thailand from the 9th to the 28th.
