Kim Seung-gyu (Korean pronunciation: [kim.sɯŋ.ɡju]; born 30 September 1990) is a South Korean football player for Japanese club Vissel Kobe, and also currently the goalkeeper for South Korea national football team. He is well known for his quick reflexes. Best performance ever made in World Cup 2018 in Russia. [2]

Club career

After graduation of middle school, he entered Ulsan Hyundai by 2006 Draft. However, he didn't play in K League and played as U-18 team player during 2006 and 2007. He debuted in K League in 2008. In 2013 Kim was named in the K League Classic best XI 2013 squad for his outstanding performance. In 2016, he opted to move abroad, playing for Vissel Kobe in Japan.[3]

International career

Kim Seung-gyu made his International debut for the senior team against Peru on 14 August 2013 in a goalless draw, keeping a clean sheet in his debut.

Kim was named in the 2014 World Cup squad as the second choice keeper behind Jung Sung-ryong. He did not play the first two games, but after Jung Sung-ryong's poor performance against Algeria he was selected to play against Belgium. He made numerous saves, but conceded one as Korea lost 1–0. Despite the loss, Kim was well praised by the fans for his performance, conceding only one goal against one of the top ranked teams in the world on his World Cup debut. Following the World Cup he was made the first choice keeper for the South Korea national football team.

Kim was named as a wild card player for the South Korea U-23 national team to play in the 2014 Asian Games. Kim helped his team get a gold medal for the first time in 28 years. Kim conceded no goals in the six matches he played and was granted a military exemption. Due to his outstanding performance, he is compared to Korea's former goalkeeper Lee Woon-jae.

In May 2018 he was named in South Korea's preliminary 28 man squad for the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia.[4]
