Daejeon Hana will play Jeonbuk in the 31st round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 22nd. Daejeon is currently ranked ninth with 34 points (8 wins, 10 draws and 12 losses, 35 goals and 42 goals).
Daejeon is on a proper upward trajectory. He is in ninth place with six undefeated matches (4 wins and 2 draws). Even if it was pushed back in the content, it brought points with its amazing second-half concentration, and from the match against Gwangju FC, it took both performance and results with strong pressure tactics. They beat FC Seoul 3-2 in the previous match. Martha and Choi Geon-ju scored early, and Kim Hyun-wook scored the winning goal with a right footed shot to lead the victory. It is the first time since 2004 that Daejeon won away to Seoul.
Daejeon certainly took the tide, producing results for teams that have been particularly weak. After winning the match against Seoul, coach Hwang Sun-hong said, `I didn't know if I won for the first time in 20 years. I listened to it after it was over. I can't believe it. Things were difficult, but I tried to shake off the bad jinx and make a good jinx. I'm thinking it's the end of every game. I'm leading the team with great desperation. I have a sense of mission and responsibility to make a good team."
Now the opponent of Daejeon is Jeonbuk. Jeonbuk also rebounded with four undefeated matches (3 wins and 1 draw). After the shaky period, he steadily won and won the last Suwon FC 6-0. Lee Seung-woo, who was recruited in the summer, has been active, and foreigners such as Andrigo and Hernandez are also playing. During the week, the Asian Champions League 2 (ACL2) was played mainly by Team B players to prepare for the away game in Daejeon.
It's a six-point game. Even if Daejeon and Jeonbuk are on the rise, there is little difference in points from the lower-ranked teams. The team that continues this momentum will spread points and stay away from relegation. In the showdown between the lower-ranked teams, they have to win unconditionally to gain an advantage, but other lower-ranked competitors are also interested as Daejeon and Jeonbuk, which are similar in both rankings and situations, will face off. Furthermore, it is a game that will receive the most attention in this round of K League 1.
If you look at the last 10 encounters, Daejeon is inferior. It is behind with one win, five draws and four losses, but it is one win and four draws in the previous five games. He maintained a tight flow with Jeonbuk and showed that he made it 2-2 after falling behind 0-2 in the previous showdown. Since Hwang's appointment, Daejeon has been avoiding many negative jinxes, but it is determined to get three points by overcoming the inferior jinx against Jeonbuk.
Coach Hwang said, `The combination of new and existing players is coming together. What we want to do is coming out, and the performance is improving. However, it is not a step to be relieved. Jeonbuk will also analyze the situation. Since it's our home game, we have to continue to be proactive. Since we're a good team, we'll prepare for a good game at home"He even strengthened his determination.
The key player is Martha. Martha is on the front line and shows great activity and pressure. It is the center of the changed Daejeon and the advantage of other second-line resources is being maximized with Martha. He is at the forefront, but he also moves from the side and comes down to the midfield to be involved in the build-up. He is not just a romantic player, but his influence is the biggest key in the game itself. It is expected to play an important role in catching Jeonbuk.
