Ghana international Nana Boateng has opened up on weather adaptation in South Korea after securing a move to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.
The midfielder joined the club last week from Romanian outfit CFR Cluj and immediately made his debut for the club.
Boateng was handed a starting role before he was subbed off in the 61st minute mark as his side cruised to victory.
He produced a top performance to help Jeonbuk secure a 1-0 victory against Suwon FC in the 23rd round of the Hana 1 Q K League 1 2023 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Sunday.
“It's been about 10 days since I came to Korea, but overall it's okay. The only difficulty is the weather. Other than that, it's good that the club cares about it overall”
“The biggest factor is humidity. Ghana is dry instead of hot, but Korea tends to be sunny and humid. humidity is the highest”
“Rather than choosing between the two, in the end, adaptation is about how hard a player puts in. I'm not from a humid country, but if I'm acclimatized, it won't affect me too much”
"My fellow players are high-level players who know how to kick and handle the ball properly. If I adapt well, I think I can be of great help to the team at my level. I'll adapt well and look forward to that part"
The win helped Jeonbuk to tie with Seoul in terms of wins, with 11 victories, 4 draws, and 8 losses, accumulating 37 points. However, Jeonbuk remained behind in goal difference and maintained the 4th position in the league standings.
