Jeonbuk won 2-0 in the 24th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' against Ulsan HD at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Jeonbuk, which suffered a shock 0-4 defeat by Gimcheon Sangmu in the last round, changed the atmosphere by winning 'Hyundai Derby' against rival Ulsan. Hyundai's first victory of the season was the Derby victory, and it was the first victory against Ulsan in seven games since June last year. After winning 2-1 against Jeju United, he also succeeded in winning back-to-back home games.
The main players were foreign strikers. This season, Jeonbuk has not been able to continue its sluggish performance despite the sluggish performance of foreigners. Jeonbuk, where Andre Luiz and Hafa Silva failed last season, brought proven Thiago and Hernandez in the league. However, he fell into an unexpected slump. Thiago continued to be silent, and Hernandez suffered frequent injuries. Vinicius was out of power early on with a long-term injury. Petrasek has long disappeared from the first team stage.
Director Kim Doo-hyun chose to change the use of foreigners. Andrigo, who showed good performance at FC Anyang, was brought from Chengdu. Coach Kim has coached Andrigo while coaching in Chengdu. Jeonbuk, which succeeded in terminating the contract with Vinicius, hijacked Andrigo, who was likely to go to Pohang Steelers. It was hired on a six-month loan.
Initially, Andrigo was uncertain about Hyundai's participation in the derby. It was because of a visa. Andrigo was issued a visa the afternoon before the game, and coach Kim, who decided that he needed to give strength to the offense, suddenly included Andrigo in the entry.
Andrigo effect woke Jeonbuk up. Andrigo, who took the ground in place of Jeon Jin-woo in the 16th minute of the second half, led Jeonbuk's attack with active movement. Andrigo dug into the right with a shrewd move in the 33rd minute of the second half and scored a low and fast cross. Thiago finished with a superb diving header. Thiago is showing off his incredible firepower with five goals in the last six games. Andrigo, who warmed up his toes with help, shook Ulsan's net with a stinging right-footed shot when Hernandez's shot was saved by the goalkeeper in the 52nd minute of the second half. Andrigo, who exploded his debut goal on the day, became the top contributor to the victory.
In Jeonbuk, foreigners exploded side by side for the first time in a long time. Even if there are many good domestic players in Jeonbuk, it is up to foreigners to make a difference in the end. It was also the power of special foreigners that Jeonbuk has shown off its powerful firepower. Jeonbuk, which remains in eighth place (29 goals) with the silence of foreigners this season, completed a special Brazilian triangular formation leading to Thiago-Hernandez with Andrigo's addition, raising expectations for the second half.
