Yeongdeungpo Gonggo wins second consecutive gold medal…Kim Hyun-min best player for U-17 team

Seoul’s Yeongdeungpo Gonggo became the third team to hold the Presidential Gold Medal for the second consecutive year. Cheongju University in Chungcheongbuk-do, which attempted to regain the title after 33 years, settled for a disappointing runner-up finish.

Yeongdeungpo Institute of Technology defeated Cheongju University 1-0 in the final of the 57th Presidential Gold Medal National High School Football Tournament at Jecheon General Sports Complex in Chungcheongbuk-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, on Monday. The defending champions became the third team to win back-to-back titles after Dong-A and Bupyeong. Yeongdeungpo Gonggo won six trophies, including last year’s gold medal, 온라인카지노사이트 and took home two trophies this year, the Geumdae and Geumbae.

Kim Hyun-woo of Yeongdeungpo Gonggo scored the game-winning goal in the 13th minute of the second half when he headed in a corner kick from Lee Jung-hyun. It was Kim’s first goal of the tournament and his first goal in the final. Immediately after the goal, the players approached the bench and gave a big bow to their coaches and parents in the stands. Kim Hyun-woo’s original position is an attacking midfielder. In this tournament, he played as a central defender because the main defender was out due to injury. “In the first half, I focused on defense, but in the second half, I moved up to attacking midfield and scored a goal,” Kim said, adding, “I dream of becoming an attacking midfielder like Lee Kang-in.” Yeongdeungpo Gonggo conceded only one goal in seven matches in the tournament. Kim Hyun-woo won the tournament’s offensive award.

“I’m very proud of my players,” said Kim Jae-woong, head coach of Yeongdeungpo Gonggo, who played professional soccer in Germany as a player. “I always emphasize that if we play with sincerity and desire as a one-man team, we can win against any team we meet.” “I’m proud that we defended the gold medal again,” Kim said, adding, “No team has ever won the gold medal three times in a row, and we want to do it next year.” Kim Hyun-min, who competed at the FIFA U-17 World Cup last October, led the team as captain and was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player.

On the other hand, Cheongju Daesung University, which was trying to win its second gold medal since the 1991 tournament, was unable to break through the alert defense of Yeongdeungpo Gongkuk University. The loss of Lee Jung-hyun, who can play both central defender and center forward, to injury midway through the first half was a blow. Cheongju Daesungo tried to make a comeback midway through the second half with three players at once, but to no avail. Coach Nam Ki-young, who has led Cheongju Daesungo for 29 years, will retire next month. “The runner-up finish was a great and precious gift from the players for me as I am about to retire,” Nam said. “I am grateful and proud of the players who played their best until the end.”
