"I'm already excited and excited... I remember the fans' passionate support."
Chungnam Asan Professional Football Club (owner Park Gyeong-gwi, CEO Lee Jun-il, hereinafter referred to as Chungnam Asan) recruited its first foreign player, Juninho, in 2024.
Brazilian national Juninho made his professional debut for Defensor Sporting in 2017. He later had a wealth of European experience playing for Montevideo Wanderers, CF Cafe Talelos de Chiapas, GE Brazier, Central Espanyol, and CA Len Tixtas.
Juninho entered the Korean stage wearing the uniform of Gimpo FC (hereinafter referred to as Gimpo) in 2023 and showed great success from his first year without any adaptation period. He established himself as the team's key striker, appearing in 32 games this season, scoring 3 times, assisting 2 times, and scoring 2 times in the BEST 11. He led Gimpo's advancement to the promotion playoffs, and his presence stood out among foreign players who entered the K League.
Juninho, who has played 125 games in his career, is an attacking resource with high speed thanks to his agile physique of 175 cm and 70 kg. As he is from Brazil, he has excellent pressure and dribbling ability. In addition to this, he is evaluated as being versatile as he combines powerful kicks, excellent sense, and calm finishing.
In addition, midfielder Kim Jong-seok, who first settled in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, through this transfer market, had a fantastic chemistry with him in Gimpo last year. As they know each other's strengths well, it is expected that the reunion of the two players will bring good synergy to the team.
Juninho said, "I'm already looking forward to it and I'm excited. Even when I was in Gimpo, I heard a lot about Chungnam Asan. The style of play was impressive when I played against them at the stadium last year, but I also remember the passionate support of the fans. I have integrated well into the team and achieved my goal this year. “I will do my best to achieve promotion,” he said.
