Kang Sang-yoon (21) is behind the rise of Jeonbuk Hyundai.

Kang has perfectly settled down as the core of Jeonbuk in this season. Coach Gus Foyet has Park Jin-seop, Kim Jin-gyu, and Kang Sang-yoon in midfield. Park Jin-seop plays a defensive role under one space, while Kim Jin-gyu and Kang Sang-yoon move in a box-to-box form to get involved in offense and defense. Jeonbuk, which had seen its waistline lose energy until last year, has gained vitality thanks to Kang's emergence. In other words, one engine with good performance makes the entire team roll well.
Kang's presence is absolute. Jeonbuk creates a meaningful scene thanks to its active play that covers the space and connects the ball to its teammates. Jeon Jin-woo, who leads the scoring with 10 goals, is the most brilliant, while Kang is playing the role of an "unsung hero."

The soccer community is also paying attention to Kang's leap forward. Former Ulsan HD coach Kim Do-hoon, who hails from Jeonbuk, said, "Kang's recent performance has been impressive. I feel like I'm watching Park Ji-sung as a player. Kang is everywhere. That's impressive." Kang earned the nickname "two hearts" when he played for Manchester United. In addition, Kang was the type to elevate the team's performance through selfless and clever plays. Kang Sang-yoon is similar to the current one.

Kang Sang-yoon, a graduate of Youth Yeongsaeng High School under Jeonbuk Hyundai, was a rookie player that the current coach of the Vietnamese national soccer team Kim Sang-sik wants to develop. He signed a semi-professional contract in 2022 when he was a high school student, and immediately participated in 15 matches that year, experiencing professional performance. However, he left for Busan I'Park in the second half of the 2023 season while failing to stand out.

Kang's skill was discovered by Suwon FC manager Kim Eun-joong. Having taken the helm last year, he proactively requested Kang's loan from Jeonbuk, which he could not afford to play in. Finally, he had Kang and utilized him as a key agent. After confirming Kang's strengths through the under-20 national team, he made 29 appearances as the starting member, scoring three goals and two assists, demonstrating robust growth. 메이저사이트

Kang Sang-yoon, who returned from Suwon FC, is even brighter after meeting a high-quality teammate in Jeonbuk. Early in the season, coach Foye ran various lineups, but now uses Kang as one of the pillars of his waist, unchanged from the "Best 11." It is the emergence of a key player from the youth that Jeonbuk has been waiting for so long.
