After the game, Jun Amano was calm. He didn’t get too excited, but remained calm.
“Since I was injured against Seoul, I’ve been preparing for my comeback against Ulsan with a goal in mind. I’m ready to go,” he said.
On the circumstances of Cho Kyu-sung’s goal, Amano said, “Even before I kicked it, I thought it was going to go in,” adding, “He made a good move and I think it went in as expected. Our strikers have been practicing to run forward whenever I get the ball, so I’m happy that I was able to score a goal through that situation,” he explained.
On this day, whenever Amano caught the ball, there were boos from the Ulsan away fans.
“I could hear the boos from the Ulsan fans from the moment I took the field,” said Jun Amano. But the Jeonbuk fans shouted even louder, which gave me strength,” he explained.안전놀이터
“I thought, ‘Does Park Yong-woo hate me,'” he said, referring to the nervousness of his teammate from last season.
Meanwhile, Jun Amano said, “I joined the team two days before the Ulsan game. I hadn’t been able to join the team for the past few weeks due to injury. I’ve always felt sorry for myself for not performing up to expectations,” Amano said, adding, “Today’s victory is really great for us. We will work even harder to help Jeonbuk rebound.”
