It was the diagnosis of Jeonbuk Hyundai coach Kim Doo-hyun. Jeonbuk will play Daejeon Hana Citizen in the 21st round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 7th. It's a single tree match between the two teams with nowhere else to step back. Daejeon is ranked 11th with 18 points and Jeonbuk is ranked 12th with 16 points. Even before the opening, the two teams, which were expected to clash in the championship, fell into a swamp of sluggishness side by side and fell into the relegation zone.
Jeonbuk is in a more urgent situation. Head coach Kim Doo-hyun took over, but there was no rebound. It has no win in eight games, including the Korea Cup. It doesn't even have that common honeymoon effect. In the last round, Kim Jin-soo was defeated 1-5 by FC Seoul amid bad news that he was sent off. It is the first time in seven years that Jeonbuk lost to Seoul since July 2017. The 21-game unbeaten Shinhwa (16 wins and 5 draws) was finally broken. This is the current state of Jeonbuk.
In a six-point game that could not be withdrawn, the head coaches of both teams hit the back line. Jeonbuk also placed Hong Jung-ho, who returned from injury, on the starting list. Thiago will stand at the forefront, and Song Min-gyu, Lee Soo-bin and Lee Young-jae, former sergeant, will be at the second line. The defensive midfielder is Han Kook-young. The four backs are made up of Park Chang-woo, Lee Jae-ik, Hong Jung-ho, and Kim Tae-hwan. Kim Jung-hoon will protect the goal. Hernandez, Moon Sun-min, Park Jin-seop, and Ahn Hyun-beom are on the bench.
Director Kim said, `It is clear that the situation was worse than last year. Now I've figured out the atmosphere and what kind of problems there were internally"I don't think the other person is scared, but I think we will be able to regain the atmosphere if our problems are solved internally. Everything festering has burst." "It is important not to play in a situation where players are mentally withdrawn or chased," he said. In that sense, he emphasized his mindset. Director Kim said, `It is important to have a challenging mindset to fight. If we don't get dragged away and do as we prepared, we'll be able to play well.'
I have high expectations for seniors. Coach Kim said "Hong Jung-ho talked a lot and tried to change the atmosphere of the team. Park Jin-seop, who returned on the 4th, also said, "My body is not normal, but I put it in the entry in that it can balance." Tactically, they made a change of putting in three midfielders. Coach Kim said, `We can make changes by putting the midfield as an inverted triangle or an equilateral triangle. After all, it's important to find our color and play. I don't think it's going to stay down there. We talked clearly about how we would play in order to go up firmly the moment we got on the flow."
