Gimcheon Sangmu was shaken after the A-match break, but again took the lead with a winning streak. At the center of it is private striker Choi Ki-yoon.

At the 19th round home game between Daejeon Hana Citizen and Hana Bank K-League 1 2024 held at Gimcheon Sports Complex at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Gimcheon emerged as the league leader with 36 points with a 2-0 win. At the latest league home game, the team had no loss for eight consecutive games (six wins and two draws).

Choi Ki-yoon sealed the winner. He received a penetration pass from Kim Dong-hyun in a surprise move in the 31st minute of the second half, and scored the first goal with a left footed shot after crushing the opponent team's defense line. He scored a wedge with his left foot, which he hit while rushing Kim Dae-won's cross during extra time in the second half. He scored his first multi-goal in his professional career in Gimcheon.

At a press conference after the game, he said, "In the first half of the game, the older players played and relaxed the physical strength of the opposing players to win the game. I'm glad that I contributed to the victory by scoring goals."

On his first multi-goal since his professional debut, he said, "I wanted to score again in the first goal. I feel great to win with my second goal. In particular, Dong-hyun's pass was unexpected, and there was no space. I was able to score it at the moment."

Choi began his professional career when he joined Ulsan HD in 2022. However, it was not easy to take chances in Ulsan, where there are many outstanding players, and he only scored one goal and one assist in 19 games, and even though he moved to Busan I'Park in 2023, he only scored one goal and one assist in 16 games.

He chose to join Gimcheon for a career turnaround, which was a godsend. He has already hit his career high with three goals and one assist in 11 games so far this season.

Choi Ki-yoon said, "Some players have come to Gimcheon to improve. I want to be the same. Coach Chung has given me a lot of motivation, which helps me grow."

"Ulsan had a lot of national team-level players and learned about their lives. Gimcheon is a place where no one can come. The older guys are also good players. We have a lot to learn from each other, so we have in common. There is no particular difference." 고소득알바

Choi is now a private. There is still about a year left to be discharged from the military, and the time for the Ministry of National Defense is not fast yet. He said, "For sure, the first part has a fast tempo and high personal skills. You have to focus more on every second. I feel like time is going by fast, but I still have a long way to go because I have about a year left."
