Compagno, a foreign striker of Jeonbuk Hyundai who has experienced five leagues around the world, expressed his impression of the K-League.

Jeonbuk had a 1-0 victory over Anyang in the sixth round of Hana Bank's K League 1 (division 1) 2025 held at Anyang Sports Complex at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday. With two wins, two draws and two losses, Jeonbuk has secured a 50% win rate, and has elevated its ranking to fifth place in the league.

After only one win in five matches since the opening of the season, Compagno, a freshman, gave his second win to Jeonbuk. Compagno was substituted at half-time and scored the first penalty kick goal.

After the match, Kompanyo said, "I expected a difficult match. I talked with the players that it will not be easy. It was a 1-0 win, but it was a necessary part because there was no win recently. I've had a hard time with my injury, but I'm happy to be back in the team and score the winning goal to contribute to my team's victory."

Compagno, who recently returned from injury, reported his third goal of the season after playing in four games. When asked about his physical condition after returning, he replied, "Good. Almost all has recovered. I haven't trained my team in the last two weeks, but I think I'll get better in the next game."

When asked if he could be pressured to rescue Jeonbuk, which is in crisis as a foreign player, he said, "It creates motivation rather than pressure. It is a striker's role to contribute to his team by scoring goals. He does not pose a burden as he has to score every time he plays in a game. Since he has to score goals, it is natural to score more goals. If he can display potential in the future, he will improve."

Italian-born Compagno has played in San Marino, Romania, China, and Korean leagues, including his own league. On the comparison between the K-League and other leagues, Compagno said, "All the leagues I have experienced are difficult. We need to adapt ourselves to the characteristics of the league. The league is balanced even though we have not played a few games. There are more one-goal matches, such as 1-0 or 0-1, than there are overwhelming matches by a team. In many cases, referees are lenient on player fouls. In Europe, penalty kicks or fouls are often passed on in the K-League." 안전놀이터

Meeting Gus Foyet, an experienced veteran coach, will be another learning opportunity. "I'm enjoying it. I moved to Jeonbuk due to the quality of my team, but I have a lot to learn because of the good composition of Foyet's division. I enjoy learning," Kompanyo said.
