Young-gun's appearance always gives a thrill. Baek Ji-woong, who made a surprise appearance, received cheers with his amazing performance, and has high expectations for this season as well.
Baek Ji-woong was the discovery of Seoul E-Land in 2024. Along with Seo Jae-min, who won the K League 2 Young Player Award last season, he was the best talent that Seoul E-Land discovered. Baek, born in 2004, went to Osan Middle School and Yeongdeungpo Technical High School and played for Jeju International University before moving to Seoul E-Land. He joined halfway. Coming to the summer transfer market, Baek played unexpectedly fast.
He was definitely outstanding. He was the first professional and joined the team halfway, but he forgot his age. As a midfielder, he displayed vigorous activity and aggressive style, stable defense and excellent build-up. His ability to see teammates and fast forward passes were comparable to other midfielders in the K-League. Baek Ji-woong helped the Seoul E-Land as he became the starting player in the second half of the year.
He scored a goal in the playoff against the Jeonnam Dragons and gained experience by playing in the playoff against the Jeonbuk Hyundai. If Baek Ji-woong, who was born in 2004, is known to the K-League and the public, the 2025 season will be the first step toward making a proper leap forward. In Seoul E-Land, he is considered to be a great player for the national team.
Baek Ji-woong, who met "Interfootball" and Seoul E-Land at his training camp in Bangkok, Thailand, was full of "boyishness," unlike his appearance on the ground. Even though he is a veteran player, he is no exaggerator but shows off-field performance. He smiled brightly and answered questions, but the content contained his will to show better performance this season.
[The interview with Baek Jiwoong]
-Is this your first time training?
Winter is my first. It feels very new to me. I have been running since last year, but this is my first winter training session, which is new and exciting. Actually, the excitement did not last long. I am tired. I have to study about changed tactics, have a lot of meetings, watch video clips of the game after the training session, and I have to run, but I have a lot to think about with my head, which makes me tired both physically and mentally. I am struggling in combination (laughs).
-If you were to review yourself from last season?
I played in the game about three weeks after joining the team. As I played, I adjusted a little more to the K-League and had a good season in my opinion. I remember a lot of goals against Jeonnam. When I got home, I watched it about 30 times. I was so grateful in my first professional season.
-What kind of person is Director Kim Do-kyun?
There were a lot of differences when I did it in real life with the image of the director I saw outside. It felt very scary, but he seemed like a 'tender' personality. He has such a good personality.
-Why do you think you were hired? Did you hear anything else?
I haven't heard anything, but I think I needed a player who plays a lot in the coach's tactics last season. That's why he was hired.
-Has the tactical framework changed a lot.
The direction is the same, but the texture is slightly different.
-The team has become younger. I think there will be competition in the meantime. 메이저놀이터
It is true that he is definitely younger than last year. There are many players under the age of 22. I feel that I should compete in good faith but also show myself more. I think recognition of tactics is very important. In the beginning, the key is how well you know the tactics and how you perform them, but you are showing them well in the training.
