Daejeon Hana Citizen returned to the K-League 1 (Part 1) stage after 8 years. In the meantime, there have been great changes. It was a citizen team (Daejeon Citizen) when it was demoted to K-League 2 (2nd division) as the last player in the 2015 season (12th place), but it gained a strong parent company and the team name was changed.
Daejeon Hana had a fierce winter waiting for the best stage. The key was ‘reinforcement’. All members set the direction to be together as much as possible with the members who had been eagerly hoping for the promotion. Last season, midfielder Ju Se-jong from the national team, who played an active role as a loan player, was fully recruited, and defender Seo Young-jae as well as Lee Jin-hyun, who sought a re-entry into Europe, were re-signed. Joo Se-jong was even entrusted with the captain’s armband.
However, this does not mean that power reinforcement was neglected. 안전놀이터 After recruiting veteran side defenders Oh Jae-seok and Kim Hyun-woo in the winter transfer market, they brought in Yoo Kang-hyun (19 goals) and Brazilian striker Thiago (18 goals), who competed for the K-League 2 top scorer last season, to strengthen their frontline. Head coach Lee Min-seong, Daejeon Hana, puts a lot of pressure on him with a bony (?) joke that “the two of them will score more than 40 goals together,” but considering the ability he showed in K-League 2, the number may come close to some extent. In addition, we plan to reinforce foreign players who still have room.
Daejeon Hana held its first winter training in Chonburi, Thailand from the 3rd to the 26th of last month. At the same time, he focused on maximizing teamwork and harmony between recruited players and existing members, while raising his stamina so that he could endure long-term races without getting tired. Unfortunately, as the opponent for this season’s opening match (round 1), which will be held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 26th, was decided to be Gangwon FC, who lived together in Chonburi, the meal, meeting time and place were separated, and practice matches were canceled. was a very satisfying time.
