(Sports Chosun Lee Hyun -seok) K -League 1, the best midfielder Oberdan, who is responsible for the midfield of Pohang Steelers, is now at the center of the club as a player who thinks more than himself.
Overdan, who first wore the Pohang uniform in 2023, has signed a three -year contract with Pohang in 2024 and has been active as a Pohang engine. Since the first season, his performance was amazing. In the 2023 season, K -League 1 Best 11 midfielder was selected as soon as possible and proved his skills. In the 2024 season, Oberdan’s name did not fall in the K League 1 Best 11. Overdan’s versatility always relieves the concerns of the Pohang Middle School, with excellent activity, stable defense, high -level forwardness and passes, and aggressive abilities.
Already the third season in Pohang, but Korea’s summer heat is not easy for Brazilian Oberdan. Overdan, who met before the match against FC Anyang on the 15th, said, “Korean summer is really hot.” The same is true of the families of the Oberdan. He laughed, “The family can’t adapt to a different kind of heat from Brazil.”
Although it may be easy because it is a steady performance, excellent performance, and a little bit of a stage, it may be easy because it is a familiar stage, but Oberdan has always emphasized the initial. “I try to play with the same mind as the first time I first came, and I am grateful that I can play in Pohang for three years, and I can play a good look. I’m so grateful that I can play for a good team for a long time.”
Overdan has been breathing in the midfield in Pohang, but this season has certainly changed. It is the joining of ‘legend’ Ki Sung -yong. This summer, with Ki Sung -yong wearing Pohang uniforms, it will be able to play an active part in Pohang Jungwon. Overdan contributed to the team’s victory by breathing with Ki Sung -yong against Daegu and Gwangju. Overdan said, “I knew that Ki Sung -yong had a good career and was a good player.” “I was happy and glorified that I could play together now. I was able to know how better the player was. I try to do my best and show what I have.”
In the second season of Park Tae -ha, Oberdan experienced the process of changing the tactics of Pohang in the middle of this season and showed entirely strong trust in Park’s tactics. He said, “The director is a lot of studies in the tactical part. He has a lot of good tactics. I know that, so I try to show it fully on the stadium. I believe in the tactics that I believe in the tactics. Pohang, like Oberdan’s faith, is on the rise with new tactics and three consecutive games.
Now, Overdan, the center of the club, is looking at the team’s growth rather than a personal goal. “If you say that you are not greedy for a personal award as a player, it’s a lie. Nevertheless, the team is good at first, and the team is good at winning well. I think the team can stand out if the team has a good performance. I always try to do so. I wish I could finish. ”
