"I made my debut, and I really enjoyed watching it."
Brentford manager Thomas Frank gave a thumbs-up to Kim Ji-soo's first performance in the English Premier League (EPL). Kim Ji-soo entered the EPL stage for the first time in a showdown with Brighton and Hove Albion in the 18th round of the EPL in the 2024-25 season at 4:30 a.m. on the 28th (Korea time).
At the 33rd minute of the second half when the score was tying 0-0, Brentford Ben-Mi could no longer play due to injury. The card that Frank picked was Kim Ji-soo. It was Kim's first appearance in the EPL. Kim played the ground for 12 minutes and grabbed the ball eight times. He made six attempts and connected the ball four times. He also cleared the ball twice.
Even after Kim Ji-soo's introduction, both teams failed to open the goal and the game ended in a 0-0 draw.
According to British media "Trial Football," Frank talked about the injury and the players who replaced them after the game. Brentford had to leave goalkeeper Mark Fletken and Mi out due to injury on the day. Valdimarsson and Kim Ji-soo were deployed in place of Me in place of Fletken.
Frank said, "There is no specific news about Flicken or Me. We will learn more from the examination. I hope he doesn't get hurt too much," adding, "I was satisfied with Valdimarsson's performance. He showed great calmness and performed his role well. He also showed outstanding performance during the build-up process, which was very impressive." 메이저사이트
He continued, "Waldimarson and Kim Ji-soo are making their EPL debuts, and I really enjoyed watching them. I was very happy that both players showed their calmness."
Kim Ji-soo, who played for Seongnam FC, took on a new challenge by signing with Brentford ahead of the 2023-24 season. After failing to make the first team stage last season, he made his Brentford debut in September as a substitute for the third round of the English League Cup (EFL Cup) showdown with Leighton Orient. He has been on the waiting list for three consecutive games since then, but has not played.
Kim Ji-soo, who had been excluded from the first team roster since then, sat on the bench as a candidate for the first time in a long time at the home game against Nottingham Forest on Dec. 22, and will play as a substitute at the match against Brighton on Dec. 28, and will play in the EPL. He will become the 15th Korean player to play in the EPL, and set a record as the youngest Korean to make an EPL debut at the age of 20 years and three days.
