Jeonbuk Hyundai officially abandoned Kang Heung-woo
The boiling Jiang Xiangyou transfer was finally settled. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor announced on February 15 that it officially "withdrew" its transfer application against Jiang Xiangyou, who will remain in Pohang Iron Man to continue to play. Jeonbuk Hyundai Motor began negotiations with Jiang Xiangyou's Pohang Ironman Club on The transfer of Jiang Xiangyou, and Beijing Guoan from the Chinese Super League, with the help of an intermediary, directly contacted Jiang Xiangyou's agent and operated Jiang Xiangyou to Beijing, which caused a gap between Jeonbuk and Pohang, and also affected Jiang Xiangyou's judgment. After Jeonbuk refused to abandon its plan to bring in Kang, Beijing Guoan locked in a new target through an intermediary on Lee Ji-tei, a left-back from Suwon's Samsung Blue Wing. Jeonbuk also stepped up negotiations before the start of the league, but in the end the two sides could not reach an agreement. According to the announcement of Jeonbuk on February 15, "After signing the transfer agreement with Pohang on January 5, we negotiated with the player side for about a month, but in the end failed to narrow the differences in annual salary conditions such as basic salary and bonus, so we officially informed Pohang that the negotiation broke down." Although the Korean Professional League launched an 'adjustment process' to help us smoothly introduce Kang Heung-woo, the club considered the players' own wishes and forced the introduction of styles that were not Jeonbuk, and had no choice but to declare the negotiation broken. According to the numbers announced by Pohang, Jiang Xiangyou wears the no. 10 in the new season and will continue to represent Pohang in the K1 League.

Due to the changes in the K2 league format in the 2022 season, the competition for the playoffs will be stronger than ever, and the desire to upgrade is also stimulating the managers. Like K1, this year's K2 League is also a scene of "local coaches" encircling and suppressing "individual foreign coaches", and Busan's Portuguese coach Ricardo Perez as the only foreign coach is particularly eye-catching in the group photo of the K2 coaching staff. Interestingly, he stands in the position of the "C position" of the trophy, and his goal is naturally to be able to lead the team to complete the upgrade, and at the press conference he actually issued "If we enter K1, I will pay for the whole team to go to Qatar to watch the World Cup." In addition to Perez, the managers of five teams expressed their desire to "upgrade" on the media day, including Daejeon Hana Citizen, Seoul Yiluo, Jeonnam Tenryu, FC Anyang, plus Perez's Busan IPark, all five teams are "ambitious" for the new season.

"The new K2 League will also be in full swing on February 19, so let's wait for the start of the new season!"
