Tiger striker Korean Park Tae Won is looking for a new start after last year when he was constantly troubled by niggling groin, hamstring & ankle injuries, he only managed 5 goals with the Cobras. It was a poor return considering he had hit 39 goals in 2 seasons before that.
This season with the Tigers, he has set himself a personal target of a minimum of 15 goals but he will still be glad even if he does not hit the target if the team does well.
He stated the team must come first before personal glory.
Coach Jang Jung has been helping him out with fitness-based training sessions to help Park tune up his physical condition & it is very tough work according to Park.
Still he will not have it any other way as he know the Tigers are looking to rebuild their reputation after the disaster season they had last year when they finished 2nd from bottom.
Dubbed the "Super Club" last year, the Tigers never came close to fulfilling that tag & this season under coach Jang Jung who got over in mid-season last year, the entire team is looking ahead to the new year.
