Jeonbuk is a layoff, Daejeon is a storm… Summer transfer market
The transfer market, which is in fierce competition, has finally closed the door.
This year’s transfer market (June 1 to July 24), which was held longer than the previous year due to the Club World Cup variable, ended on the 24th. According to the Professional Football Federation, 109 people were registered in one or two parts. In the first division, 46 people (30 domestic players and 16 foreign players) joined.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, who is solo for the championship early, is characterized by the busy rivals that are chasing behind them, instead of focusing on exporting unnecessary power.
Daejeon Hana Citizen, who did not give up his dream of winning the first K -League, is representative. As soon as the transfer market door opened on the 1st of last month, Daejeon recruited eight people in succession, including Kim Bong -soo, Kim Jin -ya, Seo Jin -soo, Yeo Seung -won, Hernandez, and Lee Myung -jae. K -League’s best ‘Crack’ Anderson Trade, which he desperately wanted, was uneven, but it was positive to recruit a majority.
However, the leadership of the military (Kim In -kyun, Kim Hyun -woo, Park Jin -sung, and Lim Deok -geun) and Yoon Do -young (Brighton), who left for the United Kingdom, failed to fully fill the empty spots, and the leading Jeonbuk and the victory point were 15 points (as of 26th). He was only 1 win and 4 draws in the last five games.
Another winner of the transfer market is the fourth -largest FC Seoul. Seoul has maintained its keynote to recruit big names after last winter.
Seoul did not miss the moment when Daejeon failed the Suwon FC and Anderson trade. He gave Willian and Lee Si -young and put Seoul uniforms in Andersson. He also brought the verified goalkeeper Klimala in Poland, and recruited Jung Tae -wook from the national team. Cheon Sung -hoon, a tall goalkeeper who has gained experience in the German Bundesliga, is also satisfactory for backup resources. He sent Ki Sung -yong, a franchise star, to Pohang Steelers, but the actual power was strong.
Ulsan, the seventh place, which lost the ‘defending champion’, also sent the transfer market. Brazilian tall goalkeeper Malcolm, who had been commanding the K -League in the past, returned in seven years. Malcolm is a player who has both power and flexibility and both the power ball control and goal determination. He won both the 2017 (K -League 2 22 goals) and 2018 (K -League 1 26 goals) and the best player award. Ulsan, which had been struggling with the lack of competitiveness of the forefront goalkeeper, is a rising engine. In the defense, the national defender Jung Seung -hyun returned, and the national side defender Cho Hyun -taek became stronger. However, the central defender Milosi Troyak, which Ulsan recruited ahead of the Club World Cup, is said to have not helped power because of its weak weakness. Ulsan is also struggling with five consecutive games (2 draws and 3 losses) and having a difficult time in the ranking fight.
The relegation teams, which were urgent for survival competition, also worked hard to reinforce power.
The promotion team, FC Anyang, brought the national defender Kwon Kyung -won. Anyang dreams of a rebound in the 10th place, which is the relegation. Suwon FC, the 11th place, also solved the vacancy of Andersson with Willian, Lee Si -young, Ahn Hyun -bum, and An and Han Chan -hee and Kim Kyung -min. Suwon FC is still close to relegation, but has recently gained confidence in three consecutive wins. On the other hand, Daegu recruited Kim Joo -gong, Space Castle, Jung Hyun -cheol, Gion Navi, Carlos, and Hong Jung -woon, but is not able to escape the swamp of 12 consecutive games. Daegu is said to have a relegation of the second part, because the top ranking Suwon FC and the victory point are 11 points.
