Coach Kim said, "I feel sorry for the fans after losing 0-1 to Song Joo-hoon's winning goal in the 35th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 27th." "The performance is important, but we failed to get the results." He apologized to Jeonbuk's away supporters who visited Seogwipo through autumn rain.
Jeonbuk led the game with a 68-32 possession rate, 11-4 shooting numbers, and 13-1 corner kicks, but failed to open the goal. Song Min-gyu in the first half and Lee Seung-woo in the second half had a big impact. In the 25th minute of the second half, when head coach Kim said it would be a match, he lost a point to Song Joo-hoon with a header. Coach Kim lost a point after failing to score when the chance came. Feel heavy. The players also seem to be frustrated and burdened."
Regarding the failure to take advantage of the corner kick opportunity, "It's not that the players didn't try not to score. We have no choice but to improve it through training."
Jeonbuk, which has been in a swamp of three consecutive losses, remained at 37 points, narrowing the gap between the lowest Incheon (35 points), which beat Gwangju 1-0 at the same time. The match between Jeonbuk and Incheon, which will be held in Jeonju on the 2nd of next month, has become an important matchup to determine the fate of the season's relegation.
Coach Kim left the press conference after saying, `We have no choice but to fight until the end.'
Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom, who won the 7th place (47 points) with the victory and crossed the remaining 9th ridge, said "We can't win with a lot of goals. I called for defensive stabilization, and I was able to win thanks to a stable defense," he said of his victory.
Jeju will open the gap with 10th-ranked Daegu (39 points), which is the playoff spot for promotion, to eight points, confirming its stay even if it draws just once in the remaining three games. Director Kim said, `I don't think it's okay to draw. I will do my best with the idea that every game is six points."
Regarding the voice of criticism from Jeonbuk away fans toward the Jeonbuk team on this day, "encouragement is more important than ridicule." It is important to keep players from losing confidence. Although Jeonbuk lost today, I wonder if Jeonbuk will survive."
