"As much as I play as a striker, I have to fight and protect him more. I want to supplement that and come back in. I think I can compete with other sisters, friends and juniors." Jeon Yu-gyeong, who was born in 2004, vowed to continue playing for the national team.
Korea's women's national soccer team (ranking 19th in FIFA) led by Coach Shin Sang-woo had a 1-1 draw with Colombia (ranked 21st) in the second match of the "Coupang Play Invitational Women's National Team Friendship Match" held at Mir Stadium in Yongin at 7 p.m. on Sunday. With this result, Korea had one draw and one loss in two consecutive matches against Colombia, and Shin promised to win his first match at home.
Unlike the first round, all 11 starting players in the lineup have been replaced. Four players, including Jeon Yu-kyung, who was born in 2004, have made their debut as starters. Jeon recently moved to Molde FK, a second-tier Norwegian team, and has scored eight goals in eight league matches. As she ranks first in scoring in the league, she is also on top of the list. One of the leading players in the round of 16 at last year's FIFA Women's U-20 World Cup, she was listed as a surprise on the starting lineup.

He shook Colombia's thick defensive wall several times, holding the ball and calmly making sharp shots whenever he had the opportunity. Jeon Yu-kyung played 75 minutes and exited the ground. South Korea led the game with Minyoung Jung's first goal in the second half, but conceded an own goal in the 18th minute to end the match with a 1-1 draw.
After the game, Jeon Yoo-kyung, who met in the mixed zone, said, "I've been called up a few times, but I've been sad because I couldn't make my debut. I was so grateful to the coach who gave me the opportunity to make my debut this time, and I was so happy as a player." Regarding his play, he reflected on the game, saying, "There were things that went well that I thought, but there were many things that I didn't. I think I need to make more efforts while supplementing those things."
Immediately after hearing that he was going to start before the game, he said, "In order to repay the coach who gave me the opportunity, I just thought that I should not be nervous about my confident play and do my best to match it with my sisters. My sisters also made the atmosphere really good, so I was not nervous or anything like that."
Jeon Yoo-kyung's hand was full of gifts, including a pennant with the team's signature. Jeon Yoo-kyung smiled and said, "It's a gift that my sisters give me with their autographs when I debut with the fans. I'm going to hang it as a heirloom at home."
She also talked about living in Norway. Jeon Yu-kyung said, "Norway is a really good country. I am happily doing well because I have been able to experience many things. The air is nice and the water is nice, but it's the best. I don't think I'm having any difficulties yet because I'm living a really happy life." She added, "I think my experiences and fighting with foreign players helped me greatly today. My goal is to play a lot in Molde and keep joining the national team. To do so, I have to gain more experience and make efforts." 메이저사이트
