Seoul's Tenacious Midfielder Speaks to National Team: I Can Fill Any Role!

After Round 28 of the K League, Seoul midfielder Jung Sung-won openly expressed his strong desire to be selected for the South Korean national team, only to be left out once again. He said the national team is a place he aspires to, thanked those who have supported him, and used the disappointment as motivation to work even harder and tune his form to perfection. Calling himself a versatile player, he said he can quickly adapt to new head coach Moreno's tactical demands, and prefers to receive guidance in person rather than researching on his own. Reflecting on his first year at Seoul, he admitted to sacrificing his attacking traits to fulfill the head coach's defensive requirements, but now the pressing tactics are gradually coming together and he is more proactive in the final third. He believes it is a good thing that foreign players have strong opinions, and stated bluntly that open communication is the key to winning titles. Captain Kim Jin-soo speaks his mind, and it is only natural for players to have their ambitions. When asked to choose among winning the title, being named MVP, or earning a national team call-up, he replied: "I want all of them."
