"Life in Europe is a great help."

Korean female national soccer team striker Jeon Yu-kyung (aged 21, Molde) made her debut as a starting player in the second warm-up match against Colombia held at Mir Stadium in Yongin on Sunday. Placed to the forefront along with Choi Yu-ri (Birmingham City), Jeon failed to score, but displayed threatening appearance several times.

After the match, Jeon Yoo-kyung, who met with reporters, said, "I was sad that I could not make my debut although I was called up several times. I am grateful to coach Shin Sang-woo for giving me a chance to debut, and I am happy as a player," adding, "There are some things that went well, but there are many things that didn't go well, so I think I should try to make up for it."

Jeon Yoo-kyung showed a play that did not get nervous at all even though it was her debut match. "To repay the opportunity, I tried to play what I could confidently without being nervous. All I thought was to do well with my sisters, and I wasn't nervous because they made the atmosphere good," he said with a smile.

Jeon Yu-kyung joined Molde, Norway, earlier this year after studying at Pohang University of Science and Wiedok. She is living in an unfamiliar European country. "(Norway is a good country and I think I can have many experiences. So I am happily doing well. There is nothing difficult because I only have positive thoughts yet," he said, expressing satisfaction with his life in Norway.

Experience in European leagues is a valuable asset to her. She has also been of considerable help to the national team. Jeon said, "It was the greatest help to me. Having at least one fight and experience with foreign players helped me greatly in my debut match. My goal is to play many matches in my team and continue to be selected for the national team. That's the only way I can gain experience." 메이저놀이터

The Korean team is agonizing over its lack of scoring ability. Minyoung Jung scored on the day, but scored only one goal in six previous matches. That's how much the strikers need to score. "I think strikers need to fight (against opponents) and protect (the ball) more. We need to supplement those areas and rejoin the national team. Only then will we be able to compete with teammates," Jeon said.
