Veteran goalie Noh Dong-gun will play in the K League 2 for the first time in his career. Wearing a uniform of Seoul E-Land, Noh has declared that he will be a "strong supporter" for the team that is still learning, studying, and seeking promotion.
The goal of E-Land in Seoul, where Moon Jeong-in left, is in a competitive mood. Veteran goalkeeper Noh Dong-gun will compete with Kim Min-ho, who joined the team. Born in 1991, Noh has been a goalkeeper for 12 years in his professional career since 2014. As he moved to E-Land in Seoul ahead of this season, he will play in the K-League 2 for the first time in his career.
Noh joined Suwon Samsung in the 2014 season and played in four games from his first year. Since then, he has competed with Shin Hwa-yong and Yang Hyung-mo. He played as a starter and substitute before going on loan at the Pohang Steelers. After returning to Suwon, he became the main goalkeeper. He was quick to catch the ball and fly up, and displayed good defense in penalty kicks, making him the star in a dramatic moment.
After losing ground, he moved to Suwon FC. After playing for Suwon FC for two seasons, Noh moved to Seoul E-Land. He will take responsibility for the goalposts that arose when Moon Jung-in and Yoon Sang-soo moved to the team. Even if he can be a starting player for the moment, he should continue his competition with Um Ye-hoon and Kim Min-ho. Veteran goalkeeper Noh Dong-gun may feel pressured to move to his first K-League 2 life and Seoul E-Land, but he is participating in training camp in Bangkok, Thailand with high expectations and excitement.
[Interview with Labor Gun]
-How do you feel about training in E-Land in Seoul?
Nothing special. It's not much different because we train every time, but we have a lot of younger brothers. It's really awkward to be a veteran. I used to have a lot of older brothers at Suwon FC, but suddenly I became a veteran of the game when I came to E-Land in Seoul. It was awkward and I was wondering what to do with them.
-Fellow goalkeepers are young, too.
It feels unfamiliar and responsible. A goalkeeper is a position to hold the weight. As the younger brothers are young, they will be embarrassed when a dangerous situation hits the team, so I have to hold them. I am thinking a lot.
-In Seoul E-Land, a large number of existing goalkeepers went out. Is it expectation or pressure for yourself.
Both of them. Moon showed good performances and played as the main player, but naturally, I showed better performance than him. He is not a rookie or young player. He needs to show his weight because his experience has been recognized. He also feels a lot of pressure.
-What does transfer to Seoul E-Land mean to you.
Coach Kim Do-kyun said it was a necessary position, so I transferred. I played a lot when I was at Suwon FC, but as the coach changed, I often prepared after Ahn Jun-su became the main player. That's how I learned a lot. I transferred because I had the opportunity, and although I have a coach, I decided to transfer carefully after seeing the performance of Seoul E-Land last year. I want to hold the trophy with Kim Oh-kyu, other seniors, and juniors. 안전놀이터
If he was the only senior, he would be lonely. There are Kim Young-wook and Kim Oh-kyu, and some players who can talk a lot. I will help my juniors and support them. That is my goal this year.
