Pohang Steelyard on the 24th. Jeonbuk Hyundai's Gus Foyet, who lost to the Pohang Steelers 1-3, said this to the team, which ended its 26 consecutive games (20 wins and 6 draws).
It is the first defeat that Jeonbuk experienced in more than five months. After drawing 2-2 at home against Pohang on March 16, all 22 K-League matches (17 wins and 5 draws) and 4 Korea Cups (3 wins and 1 draw) ended unbeaten. It was literally 'House that followed not only overwhelming performance but also concentration that overturned the two-goal inferiority, poor condition, or luck that did not lose in rotation. Pohang coach Park Tae-ha even said, `There is a team that can do anything, and Jeonbuk is just like that right now.' However, following a 1-1 draw in the first round of the Korea Cup semifinals against Gangwon FC, it lost against Pohang by scoring three goals in the first half alone. For Jeonbuk, not only the result of the unbeaten finish but also the impact in terms of content seemed to be huge.
But Foyet was calm. He said after the game, `Congratulations to our players." There was a reason. Coach Foyet continued his unbeaten performance for a long time and showed a fairly high level of performance. I don't think it will change much just because the unbeaten record is broken. Such an experience of continuing an unbeaten streak for a long time is rare," he said, praising the players' performance so far.
Jeonbuk captain Park Jin-seop "The coach said the same thing in the locker room. I think I was able to come to this place because all the members worked hard." "Even though we lost, the season is a game anyway," he said. "The coach, the coaches, the players, and the fans were united to maintain this good atmosphere"I tried not to be unbeaten among the players or create such an atmosphere. The sluggish performance may be seen as a burden on the outside, but it has nothing to do with it." There are also areas where concentration and physical strength are inevitably reduced in the heat. Nevertheless, our team has been undefeated with the least number of runs. That's how good we've been so far. "Although we lost today and the undefeated game ended, the goal at the end of the season is to win."
Jeonbuk (60 points) failed to add points due to the loss against Pohang. However, the gap with the second-ranked Kim Cheon-sang (46 points) is still double digits. There is also a possibility of winning the K League 1 early. He is also trying to go to the finals at the Korea Cup, maintaining the possibility of a double (the simultaneous league-FA Cup victory) in five years since 2020. Coach Foyet said, "(I lost in Pohang) but now I have to focus on going to the final of the Korea Cup. We are only looking to the final. We will prepare accordingly." Park Jin-seop also said, `I think it is the condition of the strong team to avoid losing back-to-back games by recovering quickly after losing. We need to focus on the upcoming Korea Cup (the second round of the semifinals)."
