Professional soccer K-League 1 Jeju United ran a 4-game winning streak. He has completely shaken off the sluggishness at the beginning of the season and is showing a terrifying rise.
Jeju won 2-0 in the home game against Incheon United in the 12th round of Hana 1 Q K League 1 held at Jeju World Cup Stadium at 7:30 pm on the 10th. Thanks to Ahn Hyun-beom’s first goal in the first half and Hays’s additional goal at the end of the second half, they won three points. With this, Jeju has won 4 consecutive wins and completely shaken off the sluggishness at the beginning of the season. At the same time, 4th place Daejeon also won, Jeju’s 5th place has not changed, but the recent rise is unusual.
Jeju showed a strong appearance on this day as well and won the victory by one goal. Ahn Hyun-beom’s opening goal in the 17th minute of the first half was kept well until the end. Even in the situation where they took the lead, they did not focus on defense and put pressure on Incheon with an aggressive appearance. Hayes in the front missed a decisive chance at the beginning of the game, but after several threatening attacks, he scored a key goal in the 44th minute of the second half.
The ranking, which fell to the bottom at the beginning of this season, is now enough to fight for the top spot. Stepping on the 20-point high, it is only 3 points away from 2nd place FC Seoul. Before the opening, it shows the majesty of being pointed out as a dark horse that will threaten the Yanggang composition of Ulsan Hyundai and Jeonbuk Hyundai.
The winning streak continued. After losing 0-2 in the home game against Jeonbuk in the 8th round, they won consecutive victories over Gwangju FC, Daejeon Hana Citizen, and Pohang Steelers the day before. After that, he caught up to Incheon and enjoyed a 4-game winning streak. In the last round against Pohang, after winning a home game for the first time in 8 months, they also ran 2 home wins in a row.
In an interview before the match, coach Nam Ki-il cited trust and trust as the secret to the recent rise. He said, “The players have a strong desire to win and not to lose. When these minds come together, the results come out.” “When I was having a hard time at the beginning of the season, the coaching staff believed in me, and the players expressed their opinions through the captain and sent their trust. Thank you very much,” he said, revealing that the trust of the entire team plays a big role.스포츠토토
Another reason is the return of injured players. From the opening game, captain Choi Young-joon suffered a long-term injury, and since then, key players such as Lee Chang-min, Jeon Seong-jin, Jeong-woon, Yeon Je-woon, and Lim Chae-min have all been injured. However, as they return one after another, they are becoming a great force for the team. After the game, coach Nam Ki-il revealed the situation within the team, saying, “As the injured players return, synergy is created and they are well united.”
On the other hand, Jeju is ahead of its second consecutive away game. The opponents are 6th place Suwon FC and 2nd place Seoul. If the good atmosphere and the upward trend continue, it is an opportunity to raise the rankings to the top.
