Jung Seung-won, playing for the league-leading professional football club FC Seoul, has been on a scoring rampage this month. He scored multiple goals yesterday (the 22nd), but he worked so hard that he suffered from cramps during his post-match interview.

Reporter Lee Jeong-Chan has the story.

Last night, Jung Seung-won's boots delivered a thrill. In the 24th minute of the second half with the score tied 1-1 against Pohang, he rushed in to score the winning goal with his right foot, and in the 43rd minute of the second half, he added a clinching goal with his left foot to gift home fans an electrifying moment.

Jung, who led the team to a six-match undefeated streak, experienced another kind of jolt right before his Man of the Match interview.

Having poured everything out on the pitch, Jung regained his smile only after receiving emergency treatment for his leg cramps.

Jung, who had not scored a single goal before the World Cup break, has exploded with form this month.

After opening the floodgates in the Incheon match on the 5th, which was the first game of the second half of the season, he threw his body without hesitation to shake the net against Bucheon last weekend, and adding his multi-goal performance yesterday, he has racked up 4 goals in his last 4 matches.

With 3 of those goals being game-winners that solidified Seoul's solo-leading regime, Jung is determined to carry this upward momentum into the weekend match against Ulsan.

And just as he promised when joining the team last year,

He vowed to achieve FC Seoul's 7th championship in club history this coming winter, matching his jersey number.
