"I'm more confident than Yang Min-hyuk (Tottenham) and Yoon Do-young (Daejeon Hana Citizen)."

Baek Ga-on (19), a rookie striker at the K League 2 Busan I-Park, made a bold statement. Once considered the biggest language player in high school, he challenged himself on the professional stage by wearing a Busan uniform on the 1st. He was selected to the U-17 national team two years ago and is a top prospect who impressed by his stellar performances with Yang Min-hyuk and Yoon Do-young at the World Cup. He was evaluated as one of the biggest players in high school due to his strong performance during his time at Boyne High School in Seoul.

The Busan team reportedly courted Baek Ga-on early on, keeping an eye on his talent. Eventually, he beat out many competitors to embrace Baek Ga-on. The team can expect stellar performances such as Yang Min-hyuk and Yoon Do-young. Major players within the team who watched Baek Ga-on's training said in unison, "I can definitely see his talent."

Baek Ga-on expressed his expectations on the professional stage, but pointed out that the priority is to show himself through training camp first. "I always have confidence. But if I don't show myself during training and games, I won't be able to debut," he told this newspaper at Incheon International Airport before departing for training on the 3rd. "My priority is to show myself to coach Cho Sung-hwan."

Earlier, Baek Gaon also drew attention as it was known that he was tested by Mönchengladbach (Germany) after the U-17 World Cup. "In addition to Mönchengladbach, Baek Gaon said, "I took the test for other clubs in Germany. I didn't fail, but I decided that it would be right for me to come to Korea. Since many young players are playing in the K-League right now, I thought I would be able to get a chance." 안전놀이터

Baek Ga-on once said, "I will play with my head in my head." "That's the kind of play I'm most confident in," he said, smiling. "I will play like that for my teammates and fans. I have to adapt myself to physical fights and decisions on the professional stage."

"I thought Yang Min-hyuk and Yoon Do-young would do well. I also have high expectations that if I work hard, I will be able to do well. I am faster than them in speed," he said.
