Acting Incheon United manager Byun Jae-seop, who took over the task of dealing with the atmosphere after former coach Cho Sung-hwan left the team responsible for poor performance, declared that he would end the atmosphere of stagnation as soon as possible with nine games winless (five draws and four losses).
Incheon, led by acting head coach Byun Jae-seop, will play an away game against home team Gwangju FC at 7 p.m. on the 14th at Gwangju Football Stadium in the 23rd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024.' Previously, Incheon was sluggish with nine wins and no wins, falling to ninth place (22 points). In the end, former coach Cho Sung-hwan resigned, saying he would take responsibility for this. However, former coach Cho took office as the new coach of K League 2 Busan I'Park earlier in the day. This is the part that the Incheon squad can be shaken.
However, acting coach Byun said the team was not at all concerned. He said "The players are not in a very agitated mood, but rather they are focusing on the game itself. I also have nothing to say about former coach Cho's trip to Busan."
Earlier in the day, acting coach Byun explained his strategy for winning the match against Gwangju. Incheon has been unbeaten (2 wins and 3 draws) in the last five games against Gwangju. In response, acting coach Byun said, `We are in a dominant mood with two wins and three draws in the last five games. I hope that it will have an impact, such as giving confidence to the players""Gwangju is a team that is quick to switch to offense and defense." When defending, he emphasized solo and partial pressure. On the offensive side, the opponent's pressure situation was fast, so he emphasized situational awareness and good positioning preoccupation" he said.
Finally, acting director Byun emphasized that 'victory' on what needs to be resolved first. "It's true that the atmosphere has subsided a lot because it's been winless in the last nine games. It is urgent to break this atmosphere. The players are well aware of it."
