Dakgong + Winning DNA Resurrection New Jeonbuk's goal to be made by all-time named Foyet was firm
Dec 30, 2024

Coach Foye held a press conference at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 30th to inaugurate Jeonbuk. At this meeting, coach Foyet said "Everyone should play soccer that everyone enjoys. I'm going to play more aggressive soccer to win. I hope fans can also enjoy our new football."
Poet is the best named leader in K-League history. Uruguayan coach Foye was a star player who played for Chelsea and Tottenham when he was an active player. He had a relationship with coach Dan Petrescu, who led Jeonbuk until last year, and Roberto Di Matteo, who served as an advisor to Jeonbuk, at Chelsea.
Foyet, who turned into a leader after retiring as a player in 2004, took the post of Brighton manager in 2009. Coach Foyet, who received attention by leading his team to fourth place in the 2010-2011 League 1 (third division) and the 2012-2013 Championship (second division), took the helm of Sunderland in the English Premier League in October 2013. Rebounding the relegation team, he rose to 14th place and finished second in the League Cup. He aggressively utilized Ki Sung-yueng, who was hired on loan, and left a strong impression on domestic fans.
Foyet, who stepped down from Sunderland due to poor performance in 2015, went through AEK Athens in Greece, Real Betis in Spain, Shenhua in Shanghai, China, Bordeaux in France, and Cattolica in Chile. Until recently, he led the Greek national team. In particular, he was named as a candidate for the head coach of the Korean national team and even held an actual meeting. It is certainly an attractive card in that it has gone through so-called big leagues such as England, Spain, and France, and has a high understanding of Korea as well as the Asian stage.

However, under Petrescu's system, Jeonbuk's tactics appeared to drift without a clear color. He failed to make use of the traditional Dak-gong, and he continued to be sloppy in defense. After a slump, he eventually broke up with Petrescu and switched to an acting system, but there was no rebound. Most of the evaluations said that not only the lack of tactical response but also failed to raise the team spirit.
Jeonbuk, which broke up with former head coach Kim Doo-hyun, brought in Foye, not the domestic head coach, as the next head coach, and it can be seen that the intention is to renew this atmosphere. Having built a steady career as a head coach and manager in England and experienced various soccer while experiencing the Greek, Spanish and Uruguay leagues, he is expected to be able to solidify the faded color of Jeonbuk again. In addition to Coach Foye, Jeonbuk's possession of head coach Mauricio Tariko, as well as his son and analysis coach Diego, the head coach of Bulgari Panayotis, can be interpreted as meaning that it fully supports coloring.
Coach Foyet will lead the team to Thailand via Incheon International Airport on the 2nd of next month and then conduct winter training schedules in Hua Hin and Bangkok.

▶First of all, I would like to express my condolences to the victims of yesterday's accident. My heart goes out to you. It's an honor to be with such a big club.
-What is Jeonbuk's vision during the negotiation process. Which part of the final choice was decisively influenced.
▶I had a good feeling when I talked with Director Michael Kim and the general manager. I was also able to grasp the level of the club. I felt that it was my seat. I was lucky enough to take on a big club in Europe. I think this is also a big challenge for me.
-What are the advantages and disadvantages of Jeonbuk at this point in time.
▶I think history, fans, and the tradition of the club are the advantages. I think the disadvantage is the result of last season. But the past is the past. I don't like to have negative thoughts. I want to be ready thinking that I will start from zero again from today.
-Fans are tired due to their poor performance last season.
▶You should try your best. I want to solidify my philosophy of victory and try to make better performance.
-What soccer philosophy do you want to show in Jeonbuk.
▶ Understanding soccer is the first thing. We should play soccer that everyone enjoys. I'm going to play more aggressive soccer to win. I hope fans can also enjoy our new soccer.
-I was with Ki Sung-yueng when I was in Sunderland, did you hear anything about the K-League.
▶Still have a good relationship. It's been 10 years and we're still talking a lot. We will meet next season as opponents, but I don't know what it will be like. We didn't really talk about the K-League.
-Kim Jin-soo and Moon Sun-min are moving, but has a consensus been formed in advance. Which position do you think needs reinforcement.
▶I don't want to talk about individual players. There are many parts, and it can be considered an important player, but it's not something I want to mention.
-What are the specific contract terms and objectives within the term of office.
▶The first goal is to raise the ranking. I think changes are needed and realistic goals are needed. It would be nice to win the championship, but if I have a chance, I think I can tell you exactly what our goals are in June or so.
-How to adapt to Korean culture.
▶ I have visited Korea before. I think it also has the ability to experience various countries and understand culture quickly. I want to improve my competitiveness by learning the basics.
-There are comments that they prefer soccer through long passes. How to use players with footwork like Lee Seung-woo.
▶Sometimes it's not easy how to explain yourself. Everything is different no matter where you work. He showed good performance in the third division of England, but he had no choice but to implement a different strategy each time. From now on, I believe in the players' abilities and try to prepare to win as much as possible.
-There are also concerns that the time to figure out the team will be long.
▶I always try to communicate with players, clubs, fans, and hometowns wherever I go. I'm thinking about how to approach it. I know the football approach, but I think it may take time to adjust to what's going on off the field.
-What do you feel about watching Jeonju World Cup Stadium and what do you want to say to your fans.
▶It is a very nice stadium. I understand how difficult 2024 has been for fans. Now you have to play soccer that shows the fans without asking them. We should present our fans with victory as much as possible. That's how I want to re-establish the club's history.
-What do you want to focus on during off-season training in Thailand.
▶I think it's learning and learning about each other. Physical and tactical training can be done only when there is an understanding between players and leaders. I think it will be a time to learn through communication. Coaches must quickly identify players to play good soccer. You can definitely cope with difficult times. We also need the physical strength to last 90 minutes and the wisdom to understand the game. I think this training will be a time to know that part.
-Jeonbuk was difficult in terms of defense, but what points do you want to supplement. What is your plan to recruit foreign players.
▶It's hard to tell you too much (laughs). Soccer can be complicated, but it is simple. You have to respond intensely to everything that happens in the stadium. Possession, attack, pressure and defense are all important. We want to respond as strongly as possible.
-As far as I know, it does not meet the conditions received in Europe, but to give you a concise reason for choosing Jeonbuk.
▶It's simple. It's because I wanted to win. It's fans, clubs, history, leagues, people. I enjoy learning a new culture. The most important of them is to win.
-In Korean soccer, foreign leaders receive considerable attention, and if there is any soccer you want to show to the K League beyond Jeonbuk.
▶I'm not here just to learn. We know what to do and what to show. I will help the players as much as I can to win. It's really hard to explain yourself. The basics of football are simple, but it's hard to explain something until you meet the players. I think there is a responsibility. I'm ready, I'll show you.
-What player do you want to bring from the team you coached recently.
▶Coaches always want good players, but they are also well aware of the club's vision and role. I don't think this is the time to focus on that.
-What kind of league do you think the K-League is.
▶Technically excellent and seems to prefer attacks. I don't think our team was at the highest level last year. Through analysis and communication, I will show a different side of myself this season. The club is trying to introduce a new system in all parts. It is important how the players understand and perform on the field. We should try to win as much as possible with the results that have been achieved so far.
-What are the advantages of the new coaches.
▶Mauricio is from Argentina and played together when he was a player. He began his leadership career in Brighton and has been together so far. Diego, my son, retired early after playing in the Premier League. Working together in Chile and Greece, I think we are well aware of the direction we are pursuing. Panayos has been working with us except during the French days. Similarly, we are well aware of our direction. As a result of communicating with the Korean coaching staff, I was very impressed and had a lot to learn. I'm looking forward to the journey ahead. I tried to communicate with coach Jeong Jo-guk in French, but I just decided to speak in English (laughs). I think it is important to communicate as much as possible with Korean coaches who know better about Korea and its players.
-Coach Diego's body is so good that some fans expect him to be a 'military leader'.
▶It's very good news as a father. I'm glad my father's decision is making everyone happy (laughs)
-I almost came to Korea last summer, but unfortunately, it failed. Whether North Jeolla Province's offer came as 'fate'
▶ I believe there is fate sometimes. I think there's a reason why everything happens. I try to enjoy my life in Korea and do my best.
-Did you talk to Petrescu and Di Matteo who went through Jeonbuk earlier.
▶After all the decisions were made, we were able to communicate and shared a lot of information. I think it was a confirmation process that my decision was very good.
