Jeonbuk Hyundai aims to avenge the last game and turn the atmosphere around at the same time.
Jeonbuk Hyundai will play the fourth round of the AFC Champions League Two (ACLT) group qualifying round against Malaysia's Slangor FC at 7 p.m. on the 7th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, which played its third group match against Slangor in an away match against Malaysia on June 23, lost 1-2, and lost the top spot in Group H. As a result, Jeonbuk ranks second in the group with six points (two wins and one loss), trailing Slangor by one point.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, which will face Slangor in Game 4 following Game 3, is determined to win this return match and regain its pride.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, which is engaged in a fierce battle for the relegation zone, expects its victory to continue the team's mood to the K-League. Jeonbuk Hyundai aims to win the ACLT tournament and turn the mood around as well as win the match as it has many advantages in home games.
For Southeast Asian teams in the ACLT, the away game in Jeonju is a physically burdensome game.
Jeonbuk Hyundai said it will play with the mindset of winning all the remaining games of this season, mentally armed, although the team's physical strength and psychological burden are high due to the combination of K League 1 and ACLT.
In particular, coach Kim Doo-hyun said, "We lost in the away game. Looking back, the opponent team got off the ground and played defense without giving any space behind us. I had difficulties in that regard. I think it will be similar again this time. If players ask us to be patient in that regard, we will get a goal and it will be a good game," adding, "We have made up for what we lacked in the last game."
"Through training, I told the players that our offensive situation was dangerous. In a way, it is because the opponent can aim for our back space through counterattacks. We recognized that and there are some parts where players sometimes make mistakes, and it is important to reduce those mistakes. Set piece is also a difference in concentration," he stressed.
"Defence is a part that emphasizes players in training situations, and the momentary negligence leads to lost points," Kim said. "If we prepare well and do as we do, it will be a good game," he said, promising victory.
He also showed a strong attitude toward the match. "We have to fight until the end. We have to prepare thoroughly one by one to do well in the next match," Kim said.
"The emphasis on players is that we have to fight more. I am in a position where I have to put everything into every single game out of desperation. I emphasized my mental part. I am thinking that it would be great if I can follow the result," he said.
Jeonbuk is trying to win by giving young resources such as Lee Soo-bin, Jin Tae-ho, and Kim Chang-hoon a chance, and to turn the atmosphere around.
Jeonbuk, which lost despite having a 65% share at the time of the last showdown, is determined to target Slangor based on its calmness in this game. In addition, as there has been no victory in the last five official games, we want to succeed in changing the atmosphere by winning this game and gain the momentum for the K-League's last-minute competition.
Slangor faced a major change after its last win against Jeonbuk. Coach Nizam Jamil stepped down after losing 0-3 against Johor F.C. on April 27. Slangor's coach Abdi Hasan is in charge of acting coach.
"Last week was a really challenging and difficult week," acting coach Hassan said before the match. "We won the league game (1-0) on Sunday and watched Jeonbuk play 0-0 against Incheon United. (Jeonbuk Hyundai) is expected to make changes in the starting lineup. We have prepared two scenarios because Jeonbuk was very threatening even when we played at home in the last game."
In the last game, Slangor maintained his victory by focusing on defense after scoring in set-piece situations. This game is also expected to be no different. Acting coach Hassan said, "We will produce results unconditionally. The goal is to pass the group stage. We know our strengths. As it is an away game, we will play it in our style. The game will be more compact." 메이저사이트
