Jeonbuk and Seoul will play the first round of’Hanawon Q K League 1 2021′ at 2 pm on the 27th (Saturday) at Jeonju World Cup Stadium. Jeonbuk’s career record of both teams was 34 wins, 25 draws and 33 losses, with Jeonbuk slightly ahead, and both Jeonbuk wins in two confrontations last season.
Jeonbuk made a change by promoting coach Kim Sang-sik to manager ahead of this season. Director Kim Sang-sik, who has been coaching for a long time since the days of coach Kang-hee Choi, is receiving great expectations and interest as he knows Jeonbuk better than anyone else. In particular, it is raising expectations with the upgraded’Hwagong Football’, which can be said to be Jeonbuk’s motto,’Dakgong Football’.
In fact, in line with that, Jeonbuk has completed solid power reinforcement this winter. We recruited Ilyuchenko, who scored 19 goals while playing for Pohang last season, and reinforced the squad by bringing in Ryu Jae-moon and Lee Yoo-hyun. This is Jeonbuk, where more resources can be utilized when Kim Seung-dae and Choi Young-jun returned to rent. It is noteworthy how the league’s strongest attackers, such as Ilyuchenko, Gustavo, and Barau, will show up against Seoul from the opening game.
In response to this, Seoul has newly appointed manager Park Jin-seop to escape the sluggishness last season. Seoul is challenging to enter the top ranks again in the new season under the system of manager Park Jin-seop, known as a resourceful since the days of Gwangju FC. As manager Park Jin-seop expressed his ambitions that Seoul should be in the top group at the time of his appointment, interest is focused on how he will change the team and how he will show in the new season.
First, the atmosphere of the team is positive from the opening game. Seoul successfully reinforced the offensive last season by recruiting Palosevich, Na Sang-ho and Park Jeong-bin from the winter transfer market. In addition, Park Joo-young and Osmar have extended their one-year contract, and Ki Sung-yong is also in good shape and has a solid power. Expectations are raised that it will show a distinctly different appearance from last season.
