Rocking with eggs? Coach Kim Hyun-seok will persistently target Incheon's back space, even if the rock may break in soccer

Incheon and Jeonnam are set to play the 13th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2 2025' at Incheon Football Stadium on the 25th.
In the last game of the K League 21 Robin (13 games per team), which was long, the two teams competing for the top spot will face off head-to-head. Leading Incheon is showing an overwhelming run with 31 points. Jeonnam is third behind E-Land (25 points), which has played one more game with 25 points, but is closely chasing the lead. If Incheon, which is already the first to reach the top of 10 wins (1 draw and 1 loss), wins, it can further widen the gap with the second-place competitors. He will win 11 games in Robin alone. On the other hand, if Jeonnam wins, the gap can be narrowed in an instant. If Jeonnam wins, the gap between Incheon and Jeonnam will be narrowed to only three points. The race for the lead can catch fire in an instant.
Both teams have overwhelming momentum. Incheon is on a hot rise with seven consecutive league wins. Since losing to Seongnam in March, it has been on an unbeaten streak of eight wins, one draw and nine league games. Starting with Mugosa (10 goals), the only double-digit scorer in the K League 2, a powerful offense composed of Gerso Barlow, a midfield led by Lee Myung-joo, and a well-organized defense team such as Park Kyung-sup, Kim Gun-hee, Lee Ju-yong and Kim Myung-soon show that they are solid first-rounders from their strength. With 14 goals and one run in the last five league games, the balance of offense and defense is close to perfect. South Jeolla Province is not lagging behind. It proves why he was selected as a candidate for the K League 2 along with Incheon, Suwon Samsung, and E-Land. It has lost only one game (7 wins and 4 draws) in 12 league games. The stable performance centered on ace Valdivia and freshman Alberti stands out. Honan's scoring ability from the front is also rising as the game continues.

In Jeonnam, Valdivia, who played until the last game, left again due to injury. Manager Kim said, `I talked to him for up to 60 minutes in the previous game, but he will keep playingI think that's why it's too much. I thought my muscles were tight and I felt a little pain, so I decided to take a break for this game. It's getting better with treatment."
He then played 10 away games this year, almost without Valdivia. Other players are doing very well. You might think today's game is actually a tussle, but I think it's a boulder with an egg. Still, the fun part of soccer is that eggs can break by hitting rocks. I think it depends on how well we prepare well and how well the players embody on the field.
Incheon's weakness is the back space of defense. Director Kim said, "I knew Incheon's weaknesses and prepared for it"I'm good at hyperpressing, but there's a lot of space behind me. He said, "I've been preparing to target you persistently."
It also plans to dive into Incheon's mobility. "There are a lot of Incheon's older players, too. That could be a weakness, so wouldn't it be a chance to win if you moved one more step in mobility?"
