Will Kim Ji-soo, who is establishing his position at Brentford, be able to make his Premier League debut this season.
Brentford will face Crystal Palace in the opening match of the 2024-25 Premier League at G-Tech Community Stadium in London, England, at 10 p.m. on the 18th.
Ahead of the game, the British version of the soccer statistics media "Transfermarkt" unveiled Brentford's expected best 11 opening games.
The formation was 4-3-3 and named by Kevin Chade, Yoan Wissa, Brarian Mvömo, Vitaliy Janelt, Christian Nergore, Mathias Jensen, Christopher Ayer, Ethan Pinnock, Nathan Collins, Mars Rörsleu and Marc Plecan. There was no name for Kim Ji-soo.
Kim Ji-soo received a lot of attention last summer when he left Seongnam FC to wear Brentford's uniform. Many fans expected the birth of the Korean Leaguer as a defender for the first time. However, Kim mainly played for Brentford B team last season. Although she was included in the Premier League roster, she failed to play. 토토사이트 모음
Still, it was nothing to worry about. Kim Ji-soo, who was born in 2004, is a promising player, and Brentford was also brought in to nurture him in the long term. Moreover, Kim Ji-soo can join Brentford at the age of 18 and receive a home-grown player. If Kim receives a home-grown player, his reputation will increase within the Premier League. The Premier League is obliged to register a home-grown player.
Kim received many opportunities for the Brentford team during this pre-season. She has consistently played in Portugal tours and friendly matches within England. She impressed coach Thomas Frank as she showed stable defense. Kim has officially finished her registration for the team.
Currently, Brentford's defense is one of its biggest concerns. With Mathias Jergensen gone, Pinnock, Collins and Ben Mee are expected to play key center backs. However, Collins was below expectations last season and Mi's physical condition is not good at the moment. If the defense falters early in the season, coach Frank may use Kim Ji-soo to make changes.
Kim Ji-soo is considered the future of Korean defenders. Kim Ji-soo debuted as a senior in high school when he was playing Seongnam FC. Despite being young, Kim drew attention by boasting excellent defense. Kim is 192 centimeters tall and has excellent build-up abilities by freely using both feet. Attention is focusing on whether Kim will succeed Kim Min-jae as a world-class center back.
