Daejeon won a thrilling 3-2 victory with Kim Hyun-wook's winning goal in the 37th minute of the second half in the 30th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' against FC Seoul at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 14th. Daejeon, which has won away games in Seoul for the first time in 20 years since 2004, has raced to six undefeated games (4 wins and 2 draws). It was ranked 9th (34 points), just one point behind Jeju United (35 points). He is looking beyond the relegation zone to the middle.
Daejeon, which caught the result, but was disappointed in the process, has recently improved its performance. 'New Stork Ball' with strong forward pressure and fast transition is perfectly established. Daejeon, which won 2-0 against Gwangju FC on the 1st with new tactics, also exerted its power against Seoul, which had won six consecutive home games. He scored three goals against Seoul's defense, which gave up only one goal in six home games, including two goals in the first six minutes of the game.
The spearhead is also Martha 'Japanese Striker'. Martha, who returned to Daejeon after six months in the summer transfer market, is leading the attack on Daejeon after quickly recovering. Martha, located on the zero-top, is playing an ace role with her unique amount of activity and ability to connect. Daejeon neutralizes the opponent's defense build-up with forward pressure centered on Martha, and after stealing the ball, rapid Choi Geon-ju, Kim In-gyun and Kim Seung-dae dig into the space created by Martha to finish. The stability of the third line, which includes Bob Shin and Lee Soon-min, is increasing, and the Daejeon-style pressure + conversion is showing a strong effect.
There is a player who is no less important than Martha in 'New Stork Ball'. It's Kim Jun Beom. Coach Hwang has been enjoying the fun of putting Martha and Kim Jun-bum duo in front since the last match against Gwangju. Kim Joon-beom is actively moving to pressure the front with Martha. When Martha drives to one side, Kim Joon-beom takes the ball. Kim Joon-beom's ball acquisition number is in the top 3rd to 4th place in the team, even though he is a striker. When he steals the ball, Martha moves to the position where he is aiming for the goal, and Kim Joon-beom focuses on the development. Kim Joon-beom's pass records are concentrated on offensive camp passes and forward passes. Daejeon's counterattack speed is doubling with Kim Joon-beom's excellent sense and accurate pass.
Kim Jun-beom, who was discharged from the military this winter, moved to Daejeon immediately after returning to Incheon United. Former coach Lee Min-sung also praised his sense. He started in the opening game against Jeonbuk Hyundai and showed good performance, but was soon out of the team due to injury. Former coach Lee also lamented Kim Joon-beom's absence. Kim Joon-beom, who returned from injury, has evolved further under coach Hwang. Kim Joon-beom is leading the rise of Daejeon, acting as a bridge between the offense and the waistline.
