I'll try to win the Korea Cup."
Kim Dong-min scored his first goal of the season and scored a goal in six seasons after the 2018 season in the seventh round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 match against Daegu FC at Incheon Football Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on the 14th. After Kim Dong-min's first goal, Incheon tied with Daegu 1-1 to share one point with the opponent.
Kim Dong-min, who met at the joint coverage area after the match, said, "Many fans came, and I'm sorry for not bringing the result. I think we also need to take responsibility. We must win the upcoming Korea Cup match and the match against Gangwon FC on Sunday."
On the day, Kim opened the opponent team's goal for the first time since July 2018. Furthermore, he scored his first goal on his home turf in 124 games. "I thought a lot about it. I was a defender but I had no goal in the set piece," Kim said. "I spent a long time in Incheon but couldn't score at home, so I wanted to score a goal. When the goal for this year was set from Level 1 to Level 10, the first step was to score in the set piece."
"I was in charge of a lot of screenplay because I was short, but other players reprimanded me to stop playing and go in and score a goal. I scored a goal during the set piece training that I did earlier, and the coach asked me if I should score a goal in the game," he said. "I felt good when I woke up in the morning. Luckily, I pushed the ball in after Mugosa's header shot."
Video reading (VAR) was activated after Kim Dong-min scored, and footage of Kim desperately putting his hands together and hoping to be recognized was captured on the broadcast screen at the time. When asked about the situation at the time, he said, "That represented my heart. Not only did I want to score at home, but I also wanted to score at the set piece. I prayed even though I was not Christian. Fortunately, I was so happy that my score was recognized."
Kim Dong-min, who scored, ran to Mugosa after tasting the goal and enjoyed the score together. "The Mugosa gave me a lot of advice. He approached me first and congratulated me, and I also celebrated with him," Kim said. "Girlfriend, my parents and my parents all came to the game today, and we achieved our dream. You must have wanted to see me score at home, but I'm happy that I scored a goal."
Kim Dong-min, who played as one of the top 300 players in Incheon for the past two seasons, has entered the competition this season. Outstanding center backs including the returning Yonichi Dragons, Oh Ban-seok, Kwon Kwon-jin, Delbridge, and Kim Yeon-soo competed fiercely to be chosen by coach Cho Sung-hwan. "We have to compete all the time. Coach Kim also thinks that healthy competition is the only way for players and teams to develop," Kim said. "It became a learning time for me to play in recent games. I have been playing games for two years and have been jumping up and down, but I think this is also learning."
Immediately afterwards, he said, "It's not good to get angry because you can't play. It was a time that made me ponder what the coach was sending me a message. The team called Incheon is competing in the right direction. I think we need to be alert and better prepared," vowing to respect coach Cho's decision and at the same time actively engage in competition for the starting lineup.
When asked if he had any special advice, Cho replied, "There is nothing else you can tell me. The coach seems casual and takes good care of me. I couldn't play because I was not good enough. While preparing for this match, he told me to show a score at a set piece, and I was able to repay that."
In Incheon, where veteran players who have passed the prenatal training coexist with young players who have just entered the professional stage, the role of middle-ranked players such as Kim Dong-min is important. "The middle role is difficult in everything. We have to be wary of the older players, and we have to be wary of the younger players," Kim said. "Our players, who were born in 1994, have to play well in the middle. We have to lead younger players well so that we can play comfortably with them," he said, vowing to move for his team outside the stadium.
Incheon, which has no trophy since its foundation, has taken aim at its first trophy of the season. With coach Cho Seong-hwan's ambition to win the championship, Kim Dong-min also agreed. "Of course, I have ambition. Coach Cho is also greedy in this year's Korea Cup, and he wants to advance to Final A in the league and try again in the Asian Football Confederation Champions League (ACL)."
"Players feel the same way. I want to make happy memories again by participating in the ACL. If I win the Korea Cup, I will challenge myself and the team to leave a name in the history of the club," he said. https://www.totositenet.com/
