Freiburg will play against Bayern Munich in a few hours. Team’s attacking line looks really sharp. The Korean forward, Wooyeong Jeong said that he is ready to score against Bayern Munich and bring points to his club.
Jeong’s first touch with Bayern was way back
Jeong first moved to the Bayern academy from Incheon United in January 2018, but now he is thriving at Freiburg. He has already scored three times this season to help his team to third in the table. Christian Streich’s side lie only three points behind league leaders Bayern, and Jeong is hoping their dream season can continue with another positive result in Munich. When I came to Freiburg, one of my goals was to play against Bayern at some point,” the 22-year-old told the Bayern website. “Now I’m really looking forward to the clash. I had a difficult start, but things are going very well at the moment. I hope I can deliver against FCB too.
Twice for Bayern’s first team
The striker played twice for Bayern’s first team, making his debut in a 5-1 Champions League win over Benfica in November 2018. He followed up with another substitute appearance in a March 2019 Bundesliga victory over Borussia Monchengladbach by the same scoreline. Everyone dreams of one day playing for Bayern,” he said. “It’s a big team and a unique club. Jeong left for Freiburg in July 2019 in search of more first-team minutes, but in January 2020 moved back to Munich on loan. There he flourished under current Hoffenheim boss Sebastian Hoenes – who he is still in regular contact with – and helped Bayern’s reserve team win the German third division. Jeong had a goal and eight assists in the second half of that 2019/20 season, a period he says was “very, very important” to his development. The game will be interesting as Jeong wants to score his former club.
