Jeonbuk, led by Coach Gus Foyet, has elevated its ranking to third place. Jeonbuk has secured 15 points from nine matches (four wins, three draws and two losses). It has nine goals while scoring 13 goals, but ranks second in the league with gains and losses of +4. It also has the largest number of goals after Daejeon Hana Citizen (17 goals).메이저사이트
Foye has constantly pointed out that psychological factors of players due to poor performance last season should be improved. He also vowed to plant a "winning mentality." Jeonbuk has displayed extreme defensive soccer in the match against FC Anyang (1-0) in the sixth round. It was a desperate attempt to overcome its slump of four draws and two losses in six matches including the Asian Champions League 2.
Taking the lead by scoring a penalty kick from Kompanyo, Foye deployed four central defenders to the defense and did not lose any points to the end. He went beyond five-back to set up six-back to neutralize Anyang's offense. Coach Yoo Byung-hoon, who is an enemy, never expected it, and Foye himself even said, "This is the first time in my life that I have ever defended like this."
Having seized the opportunity to rebound, Jeonbuk continued its unbeaten streak with three wins and one draw in four league matches starting with the match against Anyang. Including the third round of the Korea Cup, Jeonbuk has not lost even a single game in five official matches. In particular, the team beat Daejeon, which is leading the league, 2-0 in the seventh round. It has scored two or more goals in three of the five matches. On the contrary, the team lost only two goals. Veteran Hong Jeong-ho is seeking stability.
Jeonbuk's unique color of "Dakgong" is also a sign of revival. Since Foye took office, Jeonbuk has launched attacks relying on rather simple crosses from both sides. The team is also gradually diversifying its offense. Compagno is leading the opponent team's defenders and the second-tier players' active penetration into the back space stands out.
Jeon's five goals in nine matches should also be attributed to the effect of "Kompanyo." Jeon has just one goal to go from the six goals he made when he was with Suwon Samsung in the 2022 season. Furthermore, he has given Kim Jin-gyu and Song Min-gyu time, who were not appointed by Foye, to play, expanding the scope of his team's use. This means that he is focused on finding the best combination through various experiments.
It remains to be seen whether Jeonbuk, which has begun to show a little change in the Foyet system, will be able to regain its former prowess with the revival of "Dakgong."
