“Asnawi is a player who makes you want to win.”

Shin Jae-hyeok (22, Ansan Greeners) is eager to face off with his ‘best friend’ Asnawi (Jeonnam Dragons). 

Shin Jae-hyeok said at the 2023 K-League 토토사이트Winter Field Training Media Day held at the Kal Hotel in Seogwipo, Jeju on the 6th, “I have no intention of losing to Asunawi. As Asunawi’s desire to win is strong, I also became more eager to win during training,” he said.

Shin Jae-hyeok, the second son of Indonesian director Shin Tae-yong, maintains a close relationship with Asnawi. Shin Jae-hyeok, who is fluent in English, often communicated with Asnawi, who had a common denominator. He usually spends time in cafes and restaurants. 

now it’s an enemy Asnawi left Ansan ahead of the new season and wore the Jeonnam uniform. Shin Jae-hyeok said, “I was in winter training with Ansan, and Asnawi went to Jeonnam right after the Mitsubishi Cup. I found out through the article. When I went to Jeonnam, I was also surprised.”

Shin Jae-hyeok, who made his professional debut in Ansan in 2021, scored 1 goal in 9 K-League 2 matches last year. He scored his professional debut goal in March last year, but he could not carry on his atmosphere. He suffered from minor injuries, including a torn thigh muscle.

But he is different this season. “I can feel my performance improving,” he said.

His father, director Shin Tae-yong, is the best teacher for Shin Jae-hyeok. Coach Shin is a legend with 99 goals and 68 assists in 401 K-League games during his active career. He is also on the road to success as a manager. Director Shin also gives advice to Shin Jae-hyuk from time to time. He emphasizes to him, who is usually shy, that ‘you have to be a bad guy on the ground’. 

Shin Jae-hyeok said, “I cannot deny my father’s words. He always tells us to try harder. He always speaks of hard work and confidence. He says he needs to be more toxic with me. It’s not going to be easy, but like my father said, I think we need to become stronger.”

Shin Jae-hyeok, who has been able to afford his third year as a pro, dreams of an emergency this season. He said, “Last year, I finished the season with nine appearances, which was disappointing. He wants to play at least 20 games this year. He also wants to increase his attack points by about 10,” he said.
