In a situation where Hong Jung-ho is competing differently than before, he burned his will, saying that his pride is luxury.
Jeonbuk Hyundai won 2-1 in the 32nd round of Hana Bank K League 1 2024 against Jeju United at 7 p.m. on the 28th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
Jeonbuk extended its unbeaten streak to six games and first escaped from the relegation zone by raising its ranking to ninth.
Hong Jeong-ho started the game again on the day and led Jeonbuk’s defense solidly, saying, “All members work hard. They are showing their will and showing up on the ground. I still have not enough. I need to work harder.”
Jeonbuk’s recent unbeaten streak and upward trajectory are stabilizing its defense. Starting with Hong Jeong-ho, it has allowed only two runs in the last six games.
Hong Jung-ho said, “The coach points out everything in detail. Coach Cho Sung-hwan is also passionately telling us. I think the results of analyzing the problems through video meetings have come out now. I think the players have become solid because they have defended hard from the front.” 안전놀이터
Jeonbuk has a very different atmosphere this season. It is not a competition for championship but a war to stay.
Hong said, “The mood is so good. I have to work hard first. I don’t think I’m the main player. I’m trying hard both inside and outside every game.”
“It feels different. It hurts my pride. However, I have to put it down and wrap up well this season. Players are aware of this. They play as if they are the last in every game. When the game is over, I always check the ranking first. I failed to reach the final A, but I am preparing for a match that I will not lose,” he said, vowing to achieve a successful conclusion.
