Jeju United shined as a team. Their relentless focus and refusal to make a single mistake gave them the edge over their opponents.
Jeju won 1-0 at home against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in the 35th round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at Jeju World Cup Stadium at 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, thanks to Song Joo-hoon’s goal. At the same time, Incheon United’s win over Gwangju FC lifted Jeju to seventh place, while Jeonbuk’s two-point gap to 카지노 사이트 추천 bottom-placed Incheon was reduced to two points.
Jeju head coach Kim Hak-beom’s strategy worked perfectly. After neutralizing Jeonbuk’s attack by sitting deep in defense throughout the first half, Jeju brought on key resources in the second half, including Nam Tae-hee and Italo. As if to reinforce what coach Kim Hak-beom had said before the game, “It’s a battle of concentration, not skill, since we’re in the final round,” Jeju refused to allow any gaps. In the end, Song Joo-hoon scored the winning goal in the 26th minute from the only corner kick of the match. It was a stunning goal from Song, who flew like a butterfly and stung like a bee.
The highlight came at the end of the second half. With all available attacking resources at their disposal, Jeonbuk launched an all-out assault on the Jeju goal, but the Jeju defense, including goalkeeper Ahn Chan-ki, threw everything they had at it. Jeonbuk only managed three shots on goal out of 11 shots. Jeju’s relentless defense brought Jeonbuk to its knees and left the club in a situation where it could easily face direct relegation.
“You can’t let your guard down until the very end,” said Kim, but he was more relaxed. “Compared to the past, I think we have the strength to hold on. If we can reduce the number of mistakes, we will be able to play well in the future.” ”I am grateful to the fans who came to the game despite the bad weather. The players know how they feel. We will not let down our guard and do our best in the remaining matches.”
Song Joo-hoon, who was named the official man of the match, said, “I thought Jeonbuk would be the one in a hurry in the second half if we held on in the first half. Our practiced set pieces worked really well. It’s the most important game, so I’m happy (to win). “Our fans have always said good things to us, even when we weren’t playing well, so I’m happy (to win) because it’s a very important game. It feels good to be able to give them joy with a winning streak at the end.” Song Joo-hoon was all smiles throughout the press conference.
