Veteran midfielder Kim Bo-kyung (36) is determined to burn the 'last flame' in the promotion team FC Anyang.

Kim will start anew at Anyang. After playing at Jeonbuk Hyundai and Ulsan HD in the K-League, he moved to Suwon Samsung in the last 2023 season, but failed to meet expectations. He played in only 14 games last season due to overlapping injuries. Thus, Kim will play in the K-League 1 again with Anyang, an "advanced team" that needs "experience."

Kim Bo-kyung recently told reporters in Namhae, the site of her training camp, saying, "I think the club and the coach gave me an opportunity to enjoy it. I was motivated to play in the K League 1 and joined the team. I felt that the coach knew me well. So the conditions were not important. I am grateful that I received the opportunity."

"I hope the coach thinks it's the 'last flame' and does it well. He told me to relax. I think I can play the game that I've always liked or played well. If I adapt quickly, I think I will be able to do well soon," he said.

However, Kim belatedly joined the team. He has been with Anyang since the second winter training camp. His physical condition is not 100 percent as well. "I think I should quickly align myself with my teammates while following the training. The coach also tells me to comfortably pull myself up because if I look at him nervously, I could get injured," he said, renewing his commitment. "I want to be of great help to the team by making sure that I can constantly participate in games."

Kim Bo-kyung is a veteran with plenty of experience. It will be of considerable help to players who do not have much experience in the K-League. "A very good team culture has a strong atmosphere. It feels close," Kim said. "The small difference between the K-League 1 and the K-League 2 often determines victory or defeat rather than a big difference. Rather, the K-League 1 can be a stage where players can play soccer more excitedly and players can feel learning. The atmosphere and grass in the stadium are important, but I think there are many advantages."

Born in 1989, Kim is now in the twilight of his career. He has less time to play than he did. "I'm grateful for the time I spend with the players every day. I want to influence the team well and show good performance. That's why I'm going to talk to younger players more," he said. "If there is a role that I can play outside the stadium, I think I should find and dedicate myself as much as possible." 메이저사이트

"I am not a talented player but a player who can show strength when playing with good players," Kim said. "What I feel when I move to Anyang and train is that Korean players know their roles and what to do. Also, foreign players have good abilities. I don't think there will be much difficulty if I permeate (the team)."
