‘The goal is not scored.’
Incheon United, a professional football team, is in 10th place with 3 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses (13 points) in the Hana One Q K League 1 2023. Last year, they placed 4th and won the first Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) ticket, but are currently hovering in the lower ranks.
Director Cho Seong-hwan (53) is also getting frustrated. Coach Cho took the baton of Incheon in August 2020. After leading Incheon’s dramatic stay, it showed improvement every year. Incheon also gave strength by renewing the contract for 2 years in April of last year. Coach Cho Seong-hwan made Incheon into a tight and strong team. With his debut in the ACL, he was classified as a dark horse this season.메이저놀이터
So far, it has been performing below expectations. Incheon has strengthened its power in preparation for the ACL. I brought Zerso and Mpoku. Here, Shin Jin-ho, who is considered the best midfielder in the K-League, was recruited. They have stronger power than ever before, but their grades are in the lower ranks. Above all, the determination was too low. Incheon has scored only 11 goals in 13 games this season. It is second in the least score with Suwon Samsung. It’s a frustrating situation when you don’t score when you want.
The fact that there is no clear striker is holding back. In the transfer market last summer, the vacancy of Mugosa (Vissel Kobe) was filled with Hernandez. But Hernandez has only scored two goals in 13 games this season. He was not able to use his power while receiving intensive checks. Cheon Seong-hoon, who raised expectations by scoring 3 goals in 4 games in April, is currently closed due to injury. Coach Cho said, “We don’t have a typical striker right now. As the season began, I knew this and prepared for it. Now is not the time to talk about regret. We have to keep trying to get into the final third (attacking camp) and score goals.”
After the 0-0 draw at Jeonbuk Hyundai on the 14th, coach Cho Seong-hwan made an unusual statement acknowledging his tactical defeat. Then he shouted the need for a striker. Coach Cho Seong-hwan said, “(Regarding the recruitment of strikers), we are communicating with the Power Reinforcement Office. In order to relieve his regret, he is looking into the power reinforcement room, scout part. He said that several circumstances have to be right.
