AFC Women's Champions League
Having already lost to the Japan outfit in the group stage, the 24-year-old knows there is no room for error for the DPR Korea side at Suwon Sports Complex if they are to claim a first continental title.
Kim has been instrumental for Ri Yu Il’s side in the competition as it was her header that clinched Naegohyang’s come-from-behind 2-1 win against Korea Republic’s Suwon FC Women in Wednesday’s semi-final.
The forward believes that for Naegohyang to succeed, the unity within the team will be vital as they look to implement the instructions given by the coaching staff.

“Tokyo Verdy are a team with a very high standard of game with quality players,” said Kim. “We must ensure that we fully follow the tactics prepared by the head coach and be united as a team in order to give us the best chance of winning.
“We have accumulated a lot of experience and learnings from the matches so far. We will try to show what we have learned from those matches for the final and try to win the title.”

Winning titles in Asia is nothing new for Kim as she lifted the AFC U-16 Women’s Championship 2017™ with the national team but hoisting one with the club she has played for since the age of nine will be something special.
Already part of the first women’s club side from DPR Korea to compete in a continental competition, Kim and company will be determined to add another chapter to the history books.
