Daegu FC's new defense core, Kaio (27), has renewed his commitment. He is sweating profusely during a winter training session in Thailand. "I am so tired due to the intense training. Still, I feel very rewarded. During the training session, we are getting to know each other better both inside and outside the stadium. We are now having time to understand and adjust to the playing styles of our coaching staff and teammates," he said. "This training session in Thailand is an important time for us to adapt to the coach's style and to understand the characteristics of each player. In particular, we are discussing ways to deal with various situations that occur during a match."
Cao from Brazil wore the Daegu uniform through the summer transfer market in 2024. Since his debut in Korea in 2023, he has played in the K3 (tertiary) league. It was his first K-League 1 experience as a member of Daegu. There were concerns. However, Cao played in a total of 18 matches in 2024, including 16 league matches and two promotion playoff matches. "When I first joined Daegu, I think it was a time where I had to sacrifice a lot. However, it was also a time where I was able to grow and mature despite difficult circumstances. I was able to help the team and experience amazing atmosphere with my fans and teammates," he said.
Cao said, "It was new and very exciting to be on the K League 1 stage. K3 also has a good level of play. As each game requires a lot of performances, it has helped me prepare every day to reach the top level of K League 1. Through this experience, I tried my best to achieve maximum results in K League 1 games. At the same time, I tried to get joy. The away game of Pohang Steelers, which was the first goal in the K League 1, and the home game against Jeonbuk Hyundai, which Daegu came from behind to win 4-3, were the most memorable. I felt a lot of energy."
The 2025 season is just around the corner. Starting with a home game against Gangwon FC on Tuesday, Daegu will start the 2025 race. Changes are expected. Some players in Daegu have left the team through the winter transfer market. They need to work with new defenders such as Jung Woo-jae. 메이저놀이터

This is because I believe that if we commit and work hard, we will be rewarded. I am sure that I will be able to be happy in Daegu in 2025 as well."
