Jeonbuk Hyundai coach Kim Doo-hyun praised Lee Seung-woo (26), who scored his debut goal, for his soccer intelligence and offensive point productivity.
Jeonbuk Hyundai defeated Suwon FC 6-0 in the 30th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at Suwon Stadium at 7 p.m. on Sunday. It has allowed no runs in three consecutive matches.
Jeonbuk has eight wins, nine draws and 13 losses (33 points) to rank 10th. It is now only two points behind Jeju (35 points) in eighth place, which lost to Daegu at the same time. If it wins the showdown with ninth-ranked Daejeon (34 points), which will take place on next Tuesday, Jeonbuk will have a big fight for its survival.
Suwon FC, on the other hand, suffered a setback after four matches due to a single blast at its home turf. The team maintained its third place with 14 wins, six draws and 10 losses (48 points). If it had won, it would have caught up with second-ranked Gangwon FC (51 points), but ended up trailing fourth-ranked Gimcheon Sangmu FC (47 points), which had played one less game, by one point while remaining at 48 points.
His performance was quite impressive. Jeonbuk opened with Lee Young-jae’s first goal in the 18th minute of the first half and then Song Min-gyu’s penalty kick in the 7th minute of the second half. Lee Seung-woo and Jeon Jin-woo’s debut goals in Jeonbuk and Andrygo’s goals were scored to achieve a landslide 6-0 victory. Notably, Lee, who had no offensive points since moving to Jeonbuk, performed splendidly against his former team by scoring one goal and two assists.
After the game, coach Kim Doo-hyun said, “The things that I trained for two weeks came out of the stadium. I feel good as a coach. I think it was a game where I tasted how the players could score goals and create an advantageous situation. He took advantage of the game after 60 minutes. At that point, players with good skills were deployed and displayed their capabilities. I feel good about winning.”
What was the best part about the team? “Rather than scoring six goals, I would like to mention more about the fact that defenders displayed strong concentration and kept scoreless even in scenes where they could lose points. When it comes to offense, we hope and always order form an attack. I think the players have realized that. I look forward to the next game as well,” Kim said.
“Today’s game also clearly showed shortcomings,” he said. “We have to supplement it again in the next game. I think it’s going up step by step. We are consistently ordering the form of attack and defense from the players. Now, the players seem to know to some extent. Consistent games are important. If the players prepare without confusion, the next game will also have good results,” he added.
Jeonbuk will have a showdown with Cebu FC in the AFC Champions League on Wednesday. Ahead of its tight schedule, coach Kim Doo-hyun said, “I have a game next Thursday. I have to physically recover after returning home. I am thinking of dualizing myself. The league is more important now. I think the players in the back will prepare me well for the ACL. I have to bump into them and try.” 먹튀검증
The opponent team in the next league will be the ninth-ranked team. The match will be an important watershed in the fight for the relegation zone. “After the match against Daejeon, it is even more important. It is important for the players to play with confidence in what our soccer is. We need to maximize the part that went well. The ball should come in at the desired timing. If you work together, you will get better. I am encouraged by his performance in defense.”
