The same was true of German Stuttgart striker Jung Woo-young, who became the top scorer with eight goals at the Hangzhou Asian Games, which ended in October. He joined Germany’s prestigious Bayern Munich, the best club in the European Test, which he left with a dream of success six years ago. It was because of the great leader’s extraordinary eyes that found Jung Woo-young.
Jung was a junior at Daegun High School in Incheon, where he was growing up to be the best team in high school in 2017. After graduating, he could have joined Incheon United through college, but Jung wanted to challenge himself to a higher place. In early summer, he had a chance to get tested in several places. He left for Germany after getting permission to go to Daegun High School.
“I took Jung Woo-young and let him play various positions, and I thought the left striker was the best,” said Jeon Jae-ho, a full-back coach of the K-League who was the head coach of Daegun High School at the time. “He is right-footed, but he also had good left foot skills,” he said. “At that time, some players left for Europe because of the European Test trend for high school players, and I was confident that Jung would do well. I heard that he was going to take the test in four places. There is a league and there is an important competition for high school soccer in June, so Jung was essential for the competition, but I allowed him to take the test because the player’s growth came first.”
As expected, Jung brought the certificate of acceptance. Bayern Munich, the best team in the world, took the picture of him. Jung signed a four-and-a-half-year contract with Munich, and made his debut as a substitute in the 35th minute of the second half in the match against Benfica of Portugal in the UEFA Champions League on Nov. 28, 2018. 온라인카지노
He also made his debut in the German Bundesliga against Borussia Mönchengladbach on March 2, 2019. In fact, Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti’s intuition played a part in why Jung Woo-young became the first Korean to play for Munich, one of the “Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich.”
Now he is playing as a center back for Real Madrid, and defender David Alaba (left defender at the time), who was growing up in Munich at the time, was out and needed a left-back during the blue-and-white match, but Jung Woo-young played on the spot.
It wasn’t the right position, but Jung Woo-young’s play caught the eye of Ancelotti, and Munich immediately offered him a contract. One practice match at that time was the first step in his long run in Germany from Freiburg to Stuttgart.
Jeon also said, “I was waiting for Jung Woo-young to be successful, but Ancelotti told me to pick him because I liked him so much. I was able to send him in a good mood.” In fact, after Jung signed with Munich in July 2017, Ancelotti praised the German media for saying that he fell in love with Jung at a glance.
What’s more surprising is that Ancelotti was replaced in Munich that summer, and a young coach named Niko Kovac came. In fact, Kovac might not have known because he was a player chosen by the former coach, but Jung Woo-young was so good in the second division and called him to play the Champions League and Bundesliga.
Jung Woo-young, who was creating opportunities in Munich, has not been able to run for a long time at the best clubs, but he has established himself as a Bundesliga-class winger and has become the top scorer at the Asian Games, and is now selected by the Klinsmann team every time.
Korean soccer legend Park Ji-sung also praised his German counterparts, saying, “Most of the players are doing so well. They were speaking German really well and there was no problem communicating with the players.” His grasp of opportunities that loomed like fate has led to the present result.
