‘Incheon core’ Kim Dong-min, “Our goal is 3rd place ↑ FA Cup victory”

 “I am preparing really well.”

 Kim Dong-min (29), a key central defender of the professional football K League 1 Incheon United, aimed for the championship.

 Kim Dong-min conveyed his determination스포츠토토 to face the 2023 season through Incheon’s ‘2023 K-League Winter Battery Training Media Camp’ held at the Changwon International Hotel on the evening of the 14th.

 Incheon is a team known as the King of Survival and the King of Remains. However, after the appointment of manager Cho Sung-hwan, it became a completely different team. Last season, they finished 4th in the league and, according to the results of the FA Cup, won the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) ticket for the first time in history.

 In addition to maintaining the main players who did this together, they grew in size by embracing big resources for each position, such as Shin Jin-ho, Zerso, and Kwon Jin-jin. Naturally, it was evaluated as a team that would threaten the top of the league following Jeonbuk Hyundai and Ulsan Hyundai. Coach Cho also showed strong trust in the current team, saying, “If there are no injuries, we will be able to finish third.”

 The players did the same. Kim Dong-min, who made his professional debut in Incheon and has been active as a one-club man all the time except for his military service (Sangju, Gimcheon), said, “I didn’t get this kind of attention before, but I’m proud to have good results. I hope to do well this year and next year and continue to receive attention from fans and outsiders,” he said. I am trying to prove it not only to myself but also to the players.”

 Following last season, Kim Dong-min is expected to play an active role as the ace of Cho Sung-hwan-pyo Incheon Baxree this season. He is preparing to digest various competitions such as the league, FA Cup, and ACL by training up to the side defense.

 He said, “Before the start of winter training, the coach talked about the direction and goals the team should move through a meeting. He talked about ‘winning the FA Cup’ to ‘top 3 in the league’. The atmosphere is that the players also have to lift a championship cup as members now.” It is fate. I think we can overcome it,” he said.

 Personal goals are also expected to be clearer than usual this year. Kim Dong-min said, “I want to play in many games without injury and contribute to the minimum number of goals. He has not yet decided on a coach for the Korean national team, but he hopes to challenge (to board) when a coach who can use the back three is appointed. There is no national team in Incheon, but I think there will be good results if we try hard.”
