Coach Foyet said this in a pre-interview of the eighth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against Jeju at 4:30 p.m. on the 13th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium. When Jeju coach Kim Hak-beom picked Compagno as a person to pay attention to, he said, `I know that the opposing teams will always check Andrea intensively. That's why we're training the other options little by little, leaving the attack options for Compagno. To make good use of Compagno, it is to attract opposing defense and make other players score in a good position. I'm training on that."
In the meantime, Compagno personally needed to score. Scored two weeks ago, but it was a penalty. Also, continuing to score is good for the striker's confidence, so I hope he scores today," he said of the wind.
Coach Foyet, along with Compagno and Jeon Jin-woo, set Song Min-gyu up on the three-top instead of Hernandez. Song Min-gyu returned to the starting lineup about a month after the match against Gangwon on March 9. Kang Sang-yoon, Kim Jin-gyu, and Park Jin-seop build three-middle, and Kim Tae-hyun, Kim Young-bin, Hong Jung-ho, and Kim Tae-hwan set up four backs. Song Beom-geun protects the goal. Foyet said of Hernández, who was excluded from the list, "It's a minor injury. I didn't want to take the risk, so I excluded it from today's game. Maybe I will participate in the team training from Wednesday. There are a lot of games to be played in the future."
Jeonbuk beat Anyang and Daejeon to win two consecutive games, wiping out its initial slump. Coach Foyet said "He was in good spirits at the beginning of the season. Since then, there have been bad periods, but they have made various changes to the squad and are winning back-to-back games. Now the key is how consistently you maintain this good performance. The team at the top is consistent with not much variation in performance from game to game. Such a team can rise to a higher position. You have to show that kind of performance you showed in the last match against Daejeon to be able to go up to a higher level."
Coach Foyet then said, `I personally think Lee Young-jae is a really good player when midfielder Lee Young-jae, who is out of the team, is out of the team. Lee Young-jae played in the system of two midfielders in the beginning. On top of that, Lee Seung-woo deployed aggressively. It was effective in the beginning, but then it changed the midfield combination while failing to get on with the flow. I have three central midfielder-oriented players now, and when Lee Young-jae returns, I think he will be able to position better and play more aggressively in such a system without any burden of defense." Lee Young-jae will return to team training next week, he added.

Regarding the combination of Lee Chang-min and Lee Jeol-ro, which are in operation for the first time, "They play similar roles, but there are more situations where Lee Jeol-ro splashes out." It's just that there's a lot of turnovers (laughs). The defense is good, too."
Jeju scored only six points in the previous seven games. Kim Joon-ha (2 goals), who was born in 2005, has the most scorers in the team. Director Kim said, "'Kim Jun-ha is our boy president' One guy (Lee Kun-hee) joined the military. The glass or coal needs to explode. Five of last year's seven goals were penalties. I think the striker needs to score." Regarding Compagno, who is aiming for the Jeju goal from the other side, "He has good throat strength. It's dangerous to get caught, so make sure you don't get caught in advance."
Regarding Jeonbuk, which has changed to coach Foye this year, "It is different from last year." I think I'm playing a little thick football, and there should be one big player in front of me. Foyet is a capable coach. There was also talk about our national team, but I also think it doesn't fit well with our national team. Jeonbuk is such a good team in individual skills that it doesn't collapse easily."
As for Foyetball, which has recently focused on defense, "I don't see a big problem, maybe because I put a lot of strength on the defense." The gap is not tight and it is a little wide. I think I can score if I make good use of that part. " he mentioned the target point.
