Jeonbuk Hyundai played all three previous games in the 2025 K League 1 and was in a "following position". The results were one win, one draw and one loss, but they were not satisfactory.
There was no first goal. In the opening match (2-1 win) against Gimcheon Sangmu on February 16, he scored the first goal in the 13th minute of the first half. In the match against Gwangju FC (2-2 draw) on the 23rd, he lost a point to Asani first due to a defensive mistake in the 13th minute of the first half. In the match against Ulsan HD (0-1 loss) on March 1, he was hit by a mid-range shot by Bojanic in the 20th minute of the second half.
Jeonbuk started all three games with aggressive build-ups and forward passes. Color made since Foye took office. However, it was difficult to keep the tempo by losing points first in each game. We had no choice but to focus on more aggressive developments in order to balance them. As a result, the physical burden naturally increased and led to the burden of the game.
The monotonous pattern of attack development at the end of the second half, as pointed out earlier, is also related to this pattern.
Jeonbuk chose to use the side and post-play to break the opponent's dense defense, which has entered the tie and lead situation. The focus was on the ability of the header shown by Andrea Compagno, a tall striker of 1m94, and the easiest way to break the opponent's dense defense situation is to use the air. However, as a result of no additional development such as mid-range shots or pass combinations, in the end, it only increased the dense defense against Compagno and failed to produce results.
Of course, the current Jeonbuk is not 'complete'.
Two months have passed since Foyet took office, but it is difficult to see that tactical movements or squad composition perfectly match what he intends to do. Therefore, coach Foyet has also emphasized 'time', and the specific goal of the season is also expected to be outlined at a time when many of the first half has passed. At the beginning of the season, it is time to focus on improving the complementary points from the results.
What stood out in the process of losing the first goal against Gimcheon and Gwangju was the back space of the Jeonbuk defense. The diagonal pass was followed by a scene in which the space was easily broken down and led to a run. The composition of the back 4 is good, but it has been shown to be insufficient in terms of speed and movement. In the end, it turns out that stabilizing the back four is a task that Jeonbuk has to solve early in the season.
The task found in the two first runs seems to be gradually leading to improvement. In the last match against Ulsan, he narrowed the line gap and passed the beginning well to continue the close game. It is noteworthy that the Back 4 found stability compared to the previous game, although it also tended to be biased toward the use of the side. However, given that it was only one game, the key in the future is whether the trend will continue.
Dakgong can also maximize the effect only when a stable defense is supported in the end. It is necessary to pay attention to how Jeonbuk, which has shown the possibility of rebounding from the attack, will proceed with its backdoor crackdown in the future.
