Will he succeed in changing the mood.
Jeonbuk Hyundai, which suffered its first scoreless and complete defeat of the season, is challenging to rebound against Gangwon FC. Jeonbuk will hold the fourth round of the 2025 K League 1 against Gangwon at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 9th.
The atmosphere is not very good. They lost 0-2 in the first leg of the 2024-2025 Asian Champions League 2 (ACL2) quarterfinals against Sydney FC (Australia) at Yongin Mir Stadium on the 6th. He seemed to take the lead in the early part of the first half, but since then, he has been pushed back by Sydney and has not had a significant chance.
The match against Sydney was a match in which Jeonbuk's tasks were clearly revealed on both sides of offense and defense.

The ability of the front-line one-top Andrea Compagno to seize the right to provide was still observed, but it has not escaped from a monotonous pattern due to excessive use of it. Although the defense line continues to create chances with build-ups and forward passes, it is not creating synergy with side attacks as the center is not properly utilized. In defense, the problem of the back space of the defense, which was revealed in the previous K League 1 loss process, was evident. Sydney focused on aiming for the back space of Jeonbuk's defense with a bold pass, but Jeonbuk failed to cope with it.
Like Jeonbuk, Gangwon has one win, one draw and one loss in three K-League games and four points. While starting anew under coach Chung Kyung-ho, he lost the away opening match against Daegu FC 1-2 but succeeded in continuing his unbeaten trend by beating the Pohang Steelers 2-1 at home and drawing with Jeju SK without scoring.

Jeonbuk met Gangwon three times last season and lost all of them. The match against Gangwon, which meets after being completely defeated in Sydney, is inevitably burdensome.
Jeonbuk did not make a significant change in the starting list while playing ACL2 and K League 1 at the same time. However, two days after the match against Sydney, he has to play against Gangwon and go to Sydney again, so the rotation is inevitable. The key is how coach Foyet will make changes. How to solve the offense and defense problem revealed in the match against Sydney is also expected to be the key to the game.

Coach Foyet pointed out the problem, saying, `I've given directions on how to play throughout the winter, but after more than a year of bad times, I think I'm getting into bad habits.' "After the opening, the performance and tempo came out faster than expected, but it still seems to be revealed that there is a long way to go," he said. "We have to play against Gangwon and leave for Sydney." I will analyze the opponent calmly" he once said. Attention is focusing on how to solve homework and make a breakthrough against Sydney in the match against Gangwon.
