Korean Youth Players Abroad Part II

​

Croatian media interviewed Kim Hyun-woo and Kim Gyu-hyung. They're about to join Dinamo Zagreb on a 2 year loan with a option to sign with them permanently if they perform well.

wish them luck I guess.

 

Are any of them defenders?

 

Kim Hyun-woo.

 

Kim Hyunsoo is a pretty short CB. He's only 183...

 

It’s official.

oh shit that was fast lol.

 

it's just training, he's nowhere near good enough lol

 

still pretty fast considering he just joined their u19 team.

 

Marketing
but he seems to settle in well

 

Jeong Woo-young started for the U19 team and scored, but they lost 2-3.

Kangin with his first start for Mestalla in 10 minutes!

You can watch the game here

 

Wish I can find his goals but I can't. Anyway I guess he's integrating well. I assume Bayern sees him as one of their "top prospects" even though 90% of the time they don't pan out.

 

any commentary on how he did? The official website summary doesn't tell us much

 

I can't vouch for the overall performance, but the portions I saw he was virtually invisible.

 

As invisible as Pulisic is with Dortmund?

 

1:30

 

Just wishful thinking but imagine if Son plays left wing and this guy plays right wing. They'll both cut inside and take a shot lol.
In all seriousness though I wish he develops into a fb.

 

I havent been following Pulisix this season, so have no way to compare. What I did notice about LKI in this match was that he wasn't getting many touches, like he was with Juv A and B, probably because he is just starting to cement his role on their attacking schene. And probably his teammates dont trust him yet. But he is only 16, playing with and against much older and more physical players. I have faith that his talent will shine and his role will be bigger by the end of the season.

 

Good thing about LKI is that he's not a lightweight like LSW.

 

yea im liking the growth potential of lee kangins booty

Jeong Woo-young started again for the U19 and played a full 90 minutes, but they lost 0-1 to Greuther Fürth U19.

LKI back with Juv A so looks like he'll be shifting between teams to get him minutes vs. exposure to higher level.
