He shone from the first episode of the big freshman


K-League 1 and 2 stretched out over the weekend. This year was also a box office hit. A whopping 94,460 people visited the stadium in six matches of the first round of the K-League 1. It was the third largest number of spectators in the opening round of the K-League 1, following 101,632 spectators in the 2023 season and 98,353 in the 2017 season. Suwon Samsung of the K-League 2 set a new record for the largest number of spectators in a single game of the K-League 2, without knowing the crowd of 14,196.


While every game was full of excitement, the performance of new faces, especially Lee Soon-min, Kwon Kyung-won, Choi Kyung-rok, and Osmar, who moved to the team after receiving a lot of attention throughout the winter, stood out. 먹튀검증


Lee Soon-min was the hottest man in the winter. Selected as the best midfielder in the K League 1 last season as the star of Gwangju FC's sensation, Lee was courted by big clubs including Ulsan HD, Jeonbuk Hyundai and FC Seoul. Daejeon Hana Citizen, who was looking for a professional defensive midfielder, embraced Lee by offering him a huge transfer fee and annual salary. There was talk of "overpay" but the team changed its assessment to just one game in the opening match against Jeonbuk (one on one draw). Lee, who replaced Cho Yoo-min who left for the Middle East, took the team's midfield to the next level by showing off his mobility, defense and control. "I have high expectations," coach Lee Min-sung said with a big smile.


Kwon Kyung-won, a defender who joined Suwon FC after agonizing between moving overseas and returning to the K-League, also displayed a different performance. Kwon, who was the hero of the surprise transfer at the end of the transfer window, instantly changed Suwon FC's defense line, which allowed a whopping 76 runs last season. In the opening match against Incheon United (1-0 win at Suwon FC), Kwon presented a clean sheet to Suwon FC from the first game by banking on his outstanding coordination skills. "The level is different," coach Kim Eun-joong also raised his thumb, saying.


Choi Kyung-rok, who came to the K-League after playing for 10 years only in Germany, also made strong impressions from the first game. He started the game against FC Seoul (2-0 win), and led Gwangju's offense with his sensuous play. As if he had played in Gwangju before, he was clearly incorporated into Lee Jung-hyo's soccer. He also stood out in participation in defense. "I think he is a player who gives stability to players. As long as he manages well and has injuries, it will greatly contribute to his team," Lee said. Hwang Seok-ho and Kim Min-woo, who came to the K-League this winter while wearing Ulsan uniforms, also showed good performance.


In K-League 2, Osmar stood out. After saying goodbye to Seoul, FC Seoul's legendary player Osmar returned to the K-League wearing a uniform for another Seoul team, E-Land. Manager Kim Do-kyun gave a try to win promotion with a three-back centered on Osmar, and Osmar responded with a sharp performance from the opening game against Busan I-Park (3-0 E-Land win). E-Land easily took the first step toward promotion by displaying his best performance in the first half, including stable defense and outstanding reading skills.
