Jeonbuk Hyundai lost 0-2 against Jeju United in the fifth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 at the Jeju World Cup Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday. Jeonbuk will seek its first win of this season in the next match.

“It’s a disappointing result. It might not have been the best in the first half, but it created three to four chances. Jeju, on the other hand, scored its only chance. In the second half, it created more chances, but after fighting with 10 players, the game got tough. Too many chances are missed. Not just today’s game. I feel sorry for the players who played the game and the fans who came a long way. It’s a bittersweet moment to accept.”

We need to improve our performance quickly. I think that changes our performance. 업소알바 We need to change ourselves from the training first.”
Jeonbuk has become the only team in the K-League that has no win in all of its K-League 1 and 2, failing to reverse the mood. “I felt that if I want to change the atmosphere, I have to win no matter what. I think I have to win one game quickly to change the atmosphere. I need to focus on that part,” Park said.
Jeonbuk will play its next match on July 7. Jeonbuk will invite Gangwon to its home ground. “Players continue to have meetings and communicate with each other. We need to prepare for our performance by having good talks with our coaching staff,” Park said.
