How did Amano Jun feel at the Munsu World Cup Stadium?
Jeonbuk Hyundai lost 1-2 to Ulsan Hyundai in the opening game of the first round of the Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023 held at Munsu World Cup Stadium in Ulsan at 2:00 pm on the 25th.
Due to the story that occurred when Amano moved to Jeonbuk instead of Ulsan, this match was called ‘Amano Derby’. Ulsan fans booed even before Amano appeared on the field. When Ulsan players gave guard of honor to Jeonbuk players, a hanging named ‘Liar Amano’ appeared in the Ulsan crowd. It was made in Japanese, considering that Amano is a Japanese player. It was a moment when I felt how strong the anger of Ulsan fans was toward Amano, who had left as a rival.
Still, Amano played as a starter and did his part. In the 11th minute of the first half, a sharp pass to Song Min-gyu contributed to the opening goal. Even after that, Amano showed good performance proving why Jeonbuk recruited him. 스포츠토토
After the game, when asked how he felt when he was booed by Amano, he said, “I’d be lying if I said I didn’t care. So, I played with all my might for the fans,” he calmly confessed his thoughts.
Amano contributed to Ulsan’s victory last season, but he had to applaud the Ulsan players because he was a Jeonbuk player in the Guard of Honor prior to this match. I thought it would be awkward since it was a difficult relationship, but Amano smiled broadly and applauded sincerely.
Amano said, “Last year, I was a member of Ulsan. I was a member who won the championship. I am close to the Ulsan players and there are many faces I know, so they smiled and clapped.”
Regarding his performance, he was dissatisfied, saying, “I wanted to score, but I couldn’t. I think I can give myself about 50 points.”
Since Amano wanted to score, I asked if he had prepared a ceremony against Ulsan. Amano, who did not lose her composure in front of the reporters, was clearly perplexed when she heard this question. After stuttering for a moment, Amano confessed, “I didn’t think anything special.”
