 'First baton' Incheon coach Byun Jae-seop'What would be a first time? We have to trust the player'
Incheon United will play its first game under the system of acting coach Byun Jae-seop since Cho Sung-hwan resigned.

Incheon will play against Daegu in the 22nd round of the '2024 Hana Bank K League 1' at 7:30 p.m. on the 9th at Daegu DGB Daegu Bank Park.

Incheon broke up with former coach Cho Sung-hwan on the 5th, raising senior coach Byun Jae-seop as acting coach. Incheon has four draws and four losses in eight league games since its 1-0 victory in the 13th round.



Acting President Byun Jae-sup, who suddenly took the helm, vowed to renew the mood and rebound.

Acting Byun Jae-seop, who met with reporters before the game, said, `It's quite awkward. Since it's my first time, I'm nervous about this kind of interview" he opened his mouth.



Acting Byun Jae-seop said, `It is clear that the coach resigned and the players became more united. Even for the coach who went out, the players are united so that we can bring the coach back at the end of the season and say goodbye with a smile, he said.

Former coach Cho Sung-hwan left after emphasizing defense until the end.



Acting President Byun Jae-seop said "We need to be a little stronger when it comes to defense." "I think our players are weak in a one-on-one situation, and he said he wants us to refine those parts."

Acting President Byun Jae-seop intends to maintain Incheon's current framework but gradually add aggressive soccer.

Acting President Byun Jae-seop "maintained the basic system. We're the counterattack style after the first round. There are so many turnovers that it takes a lot of stamina. He wanted to play a game to increase possession while owning the ball. He also asked to show a strong performance in the one-on-one situation ordered by the director. First of all, those are the two."

Pleasant soccer comes first.

Acting President Byun Jae-seop said, `We can't just play defensive soccer forever. He is emphasizing that we should have a lot of balls and play fun attacking soccer," he added.

Acting Byun Jae-seop said "What's the first time?" I'll trust the players. The atmosphere has subsided a lot. So I emphasized a lot about enjoying it. Even if it doesn't bring results, he demanded a mindset to enjoy and come out without regret. I'm going to add some colors in the original frame"I promised a change.
