"I felt the sincerity of FC Anyang."
Anyang's biggest weakness was its frontline striker, who won its first K-League 2 title and promoted to the K-League 1 title last season. The team struggled as its foreign striker Dan-rey was sidelined due to an injury. Therefore, Anyang searched for a foreign striker who can score points through the transfer market.
It was Mota who became the top scorer (16 goals) in the K League 2 last season that made Anyang join the radar. Anyang approached Mota. At the award ceremony last season, coach Yoo Byung-hoon and other officials also talked in person. Mota will also be on the K League 1 stage for the first time.
Mota first came to Korea through the Cheonan City Football Club (currently Cheonan City FC) that was a member of the K3 League in the summer of 2022. He scored 10 goals (one assist) in the 2023 season and re-recorded his career high last season.
"I feel great to be on a big team named Anyang," Mota told this newspaper before leaving for the winter training camp in Chonburi. "I will prepare well this year so that I can achieve good results." 먹튀검증
Mota, who was also named the top scorer of the K League 2 and the best 11 striker, received offers from various teams in the transfer market. Not only Korea but also China have interest in him. Nevertheless, Mota chose Anyang.
"I received offers from various teams," Mota said. "I had some friendship with Anyang players and coaching staff. The teams that offered me didn't feel that sincere. I felt the sincerity in Anyang. They also treated me like a family. That's why I decided to choose Anyang."
As Mota is 193 centimeters tall, he boasts not only the right to offer but also the ability to make decisions and play in connection with his team. He should collaborate with Mateusz, the MVP of the K-League 2 last season, and Yago, a flanker. The top scorer of the K-League 1 deserves a try. However, Mota is putting his team first rather than his personal record.
In addition to his previous four-backs, coach Yoo is also preparing a three-back strategy. If Mota plays his part in the front line, he will be able to move beyond staying in the K-League 1 and advance to the Final A (sixth round). "For now, I will do my best to help my team stay in the K-League 1, rather than keeping my personal record or being the top scorer," Mota said. "Whether it's a goal or a help, I will focus on the direction Anyang plays well. I will build up attack points in a certain way so that fans and the team can achieve the desired results."
