Head coach Kim Doo-hyun emphasized continuity.
Jeonbuk Hyundai won a dramatic 2-1 victory over the Pohang Steelers in the 27th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at 7 p.m. on the 17th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
Jeonbuk scored three points for the first time in a long time, laying the groundwork for its escape from the relegation zone.
Coach Kim Doo-hyun said in a press conference after the game, “I have to win often and give joy to my fans, but I feel sorry that I couldn’t. I felt positive because the play I wanted came out. I got the result because the players played their roles well enough.”
Kwon Chang-hoon was the hero of the day. He made his debut in Jeonbuk as a substitute and scored a dramatic goal in the second half to lead the team to three points.
Coach Kim Doo-hyun said, “Kwon Chang-hoon prefers to play in the front line and at the second line. Pohang increased the number of its offense through replacement, but wanted to take away the ball and link it through counterattacks. I ordered what I performed best during the training.”
Jeonbuk is evaluated as good in the first half, but many point out that it cannot maintain it throughout the 90 minutes. 안전놀이터
Regarding this, he said, “Football has its flow. All K-League teams are not leading the game for the entire 90 minutes. It is important to increase the time gradually. It would be nice if they attack unilaterally, but I think it will vary from situation to situation.”
Jeonbuk needs continuity to escape the relegation zone. It is considered the biggest task of this season as it desperately needs a winning streak.
Coach Kim Doo-hyun said, “The most important thing is winning consecutive games. I think we can look forward to the next game if we show them what the players have prepared.”
