Jeonbuk Hyundai, which has the image of "Dakgong," is playing practical soccer to gain results by putting weight on its defense, provokes frustrating psychology among fans. It is irritating for those who watch hot offensive soccer every year (=although it should be considered that the Dakgong has been cut off since Choi Kang-hee resigned =) and watch a stable game.

However, just as Manchester United, the strongest team in the English Premier League, has wandered without winning the league since former coach Alex Ferguson retired after a long term in 2013, Jeonbuk is facing the agony of getting out of the shadow of Choi until this season.

Last season was the worst. A case in point is that he managed to survive by beating Seoul E-Land FC by going all the way to the playoffs. It is true that performing well right away is difficult unless the team revolutionizes.

Coach Gus Foyet, who played for Brighton Hove Albion and Sunderland in the English Premier League, showed his commitment to gradually change Jeonbuk. We hope that the players will play in the best conditions. Even if they go on an away trip to the Asian Football Confederation Champions League 2, they are gradually changing various cultures in Jeonbuk, such as insisting on boarding a business class in accordance with their dignity.

Of course, some fans continued to shout Dakgong and beat the opening game Gimcheon Sangmu 2-1 with an unsatisfactory result of one win, two draws and two losses until the fifth round, and a premature diagnosis of "poet is nothing."

In the end, the team needed a win, and in the sixth round against FC Anyang, Jeonbuk put down its pride, put down both wing backs to the defense, and even the defensive midfielder hit the wall to win 1-0.

"Lee Kyung-kyu's son-in-law," Kim Young-chan, a Jeonbuk native who played as a central defender in Anyang, told reporters after the Jeju United match, "Wasn't I in Jeonbuk before? It was my first competition since I left Jeonbuk. Watching him play soccer where the defender locks up, I thought, 'This is how Jeonbuk does it.' Of course, winning is important, so I thought I could do that, but what is clear is that it has changed from Jeonbuk I knew."

What was clear was that the match against Anyang was an inflection point for Jeonbuk. Since then, Song Min-gyu, who confessed his love in an away match against FC Seoul at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 3rd, won 1-0 with a header winning goal in the 23rd minute of the first half, following a 1-1 draw against Jeju United, Daegu FC 3-1, and Suwon FC 2-1.
In fact, it was a game Jeonbuk took advantage of. The number of shots was down to 3-21, but the team showed that it can defend itself. After Yeon Je-woon and Han Kook-young were included in goalkeeper Song Bum-keun's defense performance in the 22nd minute of the second half, they set up a higher defense wall to anger Seoul.

After the game, Park Jin-seop, a national team captain who can play both the central midfielder and the central defender, said, "In a way, I think that if soccer has a good flow but does not bring a result, the atmosphere itself drops a lot. Coach Foye used tactics that were a little bit different from his personality (against Anyang), but didn't he bring a result? It seemed to be the driving force that enabled him to gain momentum. Since then, I think the players' belief in the coach's resourcefulness has been created. I think we should continue the atmosphere as we have won many games among the players as well."

It is true that it is difficult for a team to be different in just one season. "There should be eight months for the team to be framed and my style to melt," Foye said, pointing out that in fact, a system is established only when you have faith in people around you. This is especially true when thinking back to the memory of the team's complete collapse when it went to the promotion PO last year.

It was ranked 10th until the fifth round this season as well. As the gap between the top ranks is not wide, the ranking could drop again anytime. Still, it is clear that he wants to revive his prestige as he experienced the "Jeonbuk Dynasty."

Park Jin-seop also said, "I think it is the victory. Of course, Jeonbuk has to compete for the championship. Players are thinking a lot about it. I had difficulties last year, but I think that what the players really prepared hard for this year's championship from the pre-season is to compete for the championship," adding, "I think they are going in a good direction right now. If we take the results as important as every game, I think we will be in such competition at the end of the (season)," displaying strong commitment to fight fiercely at the top of the podium.

Jeonbuk has 16 points and 10 goals in 11 matches. Although the team does not have a poor scoring capacity, it is regrettable that it does not play a role as a "dark ball" from the perspective of fans of Jeonbuk. There is also a "consequence" that building a win through practical matches definitely helps the team achieve a final result.

What do you think about the gap between the hot content and the results that you need to win? "I think it's homework to be solved in the future. Winning 3-0, 3-2, 4-3 is good, but personally, I prefer winning 1-0 without losing a point. I believe the fans will understand. The strikers are now in good condition. I think the results that fans want to see will be sufficient in the future," Park said, hoping the fans will take their time to wait for him.

Ahead of the match against Seoul, Foye stressed that internal competition is fierce, saying, "Players are not injured. Nine players (in the first team) should watch the match on TV at home." This means that if the team enters the hot season, injuries will occur naturally, and the team with a small gap in skills within the team can withstand the top. 먹튀검증

Park Jin-seop, who fully knows that the season is long, also said, "We are trying to compete with each other internally. "No team is easy in every game. We will prepare only by watching the previous games. We will prepare with the determination to achieve good results. I think we will have good strength with this mindset."

The face-off at the home game against Daejeon on Thursday is a very important game in the process of entering the middle of this season. Daejeon is also being considered as a candidate for this season's championship. "I am not a candidate for the championship. The first thing to do is to advance to Final A," Hwang said, but what is clear is that the team cannot avoid the championship race. Fans in Daejeon are also expected to root for the team as it takes only an hour to arrive at a short distance.

Park Jin-seop, who hails from Daejeon and plays for Jeonbuk, has no intention of watching his mother's game. "It is clear that Daejeon is a good trend, but the same goes for Jeonbuk. I think it will be an interesting game. I don't think it will be easy because it is a home game. I think I will be able to get good enough results," he stressed.

Jeonbuk was once a team that competed for first and second place except for FC Seoul, which had a large capacity in spectatorship. It has not fully recovered its fanship yet. Still, 7,546 out of 48,008 spectators were away fans in Jeonbuk against Seoul. The first place in history was 7,996 on November 27, 2023, just before the relegation to Suwon Samsung.

After the match against Seoul, fans and players on the first and second floors of the stands looked at each other and showed their so-called "Oulele~" cheering. The group ceremony where fans on the first and second floors stood shoulder to shoulder and ran away was very artistic. The Jeonbuk players had to feel a lot of pressure.

"I think (the fans) are the pride and pride of the team," said Park Jin-seop, who is well aware of the situation. Even though the team plays away games, the fans always create the atmosphere of home games. That's why I think I can overcome the hardships. I am always grateful to the fans," Park said. "I am aware of that (it has not been able to attract spectators at home yet). If the team gradually moves forward, I think the fans will naturally create the atmosphere of Jeonju World Cup Stadium in green color."
