(Laughs) I try to approach as comfortably as possible.” He added, “In the case of Han Jae-hoon, he did well in high school, but when he came to the pros, he felt a wall such as tempo and lost his confidence on the playground. It was something I also experienced, so I am teaching him how to overcome it.”
Park Nam-yeol, head coach of Cheonan City FC, wants Kim Chang-soo to help the team as a player. “I want experience from Kim Chang-soo. If Kim Chang-soo’s know-how and experience are passed on to young players, won’t the professional consciousness change if the younger players are well absorbed in it? I wonder if it will happen,” he said with anticipation.
Regarding this, Kim Chang-soo said, “It’s good if I can help by running, but I think that’s an assignment I have to solve. I hope it helps on and off the field.”

He has been organizing his mind little by little since last year.” He laughed, saying, “It’s my first time in K League 2. I wanted to experience it. The coach was also a famous person. I wanted to learn. It’s an important part on the way to become a leader.”
Kim Chang-soo, who is preparing to obtain an A-level instructor’s license, said, “I talked a lot with my classmate (Lee) Geun-ho. I asked Lee Ho a lot.”
“Even in Thailand, if you were injured and stood outside, the coach did everything you wanted to say to the players and said that if you wanted a leader, you had to do it. said.
