"You can't lose two consecutive games at home."

This is the words of Chung Jeong-yong, managing director of Gimcheon. On the 14th, Kimcheon Sangmu will play a home game against Jeonbuk Hyundai 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Gimcheon Stadium. There is a desperate need for a reversal. Gimcheon has recorded only one draw and one loss in the last two games. To make matters worse, the bad news of the misjudgment also overlapped.

Ahead of the showdown, coach Chung said "The players' condition and tactical problems made changes. Nothing else. It's an important game. We lost at home last time. You can't lose two games in a row. You have to prepare well. Many (Jeonbuk) injuries also came back. It's a top class even if you look at the squad. There are some burdensome parts. I think it would be good for the players to play with confidence."

Gimcheon utilizes a 4-3-3 tactic. Choi Ki-yoon and Mo Jae-hyun lead the attack with Yoo Kang-hyun at the center. The midfield is coordinated by Seo Min-woo, Lee Dong-kyung, and Maeng Sung-woong. Park Dae-won, Kim Bong-soo, Park Seung-wook, and Park Soo-il are located in Fourback. Kim Dong-heon protects the goal.

The will of the players is extraordinarily different. The 7th discharge ceremony will be held on this day. They are the main players who led Gimcheon's gust in the first half of the season. Coach Chung said, `I hope I can respond in a good mood after the game. There are players who haven't played much. It is regrettable. There are also players who have grown up. There were some injured players. I'm sorry for those players. I hope the remaining players will play a lot of games without injury and improve their performance."

Jeonbuk coach Kim Doo-hyun is also desperate for victory. Jeonbuk remains in 11th place with four wins, eight draws and 10 losses. It is comforting that he broke his winless nine games in the previous match against Jeju United.

Jeonbuk has a 4-2-3-1 formation. Thiago is on the front line. Jeon Byung-kwan Lee Young-jae and Hernandez will help from behind. Lee Soo-bin and Han Kook-young will work together as defensive midfielders. Park Chang-woo, Park Jin-seop, Hong Jung-ho, and Kim Tae-hwan will be in charge of defense. The goalkeeper's gloves are worn by Kim Jung-hoon.

Coach Kim prepared because there was another game right after the coach's first win. Still, it is positive because it is a condition for the atmosphere to be better."

The good news is that Kim Jin-soo returned from the penalty. Director Kim "We had several meetings. At the same time, we had a natural conversation and looked at it even when asked. He's our player and a capable player. There were issues, but he showed a lot of willingness to overcome them. I talked a little psychologically, too. I wish I could be more comfortable."

Kim was born on July 14, 1982. I had my birthday on the day of the game. He said "If you give a gift with a victory, there's nothing like that. I didn't say anything," he said with a smile.
