Kang Cheung-woo has revealed that he will still play mainly in the wing-back role, although he has not received any special news, but is looking forward to other positions as well. It is said that the club has been looking for the right player. He has been a favorite of the team since the start of the campaign. As a first-time overseas player, Kang knows that he has to work hard in order to be recognized. He foresees a challenging future for Beijing Guoan, but is eager to enjoy soccer while avoiding too much pressure. He believes that it is necessary to show fighting spirit in matches, but in life, he is not willing to be under pressure.

Journalist:

Do you have an acquaintance who can assist you in acclimatizing?

Kang Sang-woo: Son Jun-ho called me and he knows my style quite well, but I still think the key is self-effort. When I encounter problems, I will take the initiative to ask. Even though there are only two weeks left before departure, I still don't know anything about the specifics. The Chinese Super League is expected to start at the end of April. Last year, the tournament was held in a conference system due to the New Crown epidemic, but this year the plan is to return to a home-and-away system. We are closely monitoring the change.

Journalist:

Do you still worry about language adaptation?

Kang Xiangyu: I have an interpreter and I'm gradually learning Chinese. I heard that there are two or three Chinese players in the Guoan team who speak Korean, so it shouldn't be a problem to adapt. In addition, there is Korea Town in Beijing, where you can taste authentic Korean food.

Journalist:

The National team has had Korean players before, have you interacted with them?

KANG Sang-woo: Min-Ja Kim told me that Beijing Guoan did a good job in player management, and he heard that Beijing is a livable city with a large number of fans. According to Kim Min-jae, it was an unforgettable experience.
