Incheon United manager Cho Seong-hwan apologized to the fans after failing to win in 3 games, although he escaped from a losing streak.
Incheon drew 0-0 without scoring in the 13th round of Hana One Q K League 1 2023 against Jeonbuk Hyundai held at the Incheon Soccer Stadium on the 14th.
Incheon maintained 10th place (3 wins, 4 draws, 6 losses, 13 points) according to the match results that day. First of all, he got out of the swamp of two consecutive losses, but on this day, coach Cho bowed his head to Incheon home fans, who were visited by 15,738 people, the largest number of spectators since the Corona 19 pandemic.
Coach Cho Seong-hwan said at a press conference after the game, “The players finished the game without conceding a goal. I think positively by preventing the conceding with fighting spirit. I am sorry to the fans for not being able to lead to the finish due to lack of detail in counterattacks or opportunities.”
Next, coach Cho said, “What I want to say to the fans is that we prepared diligently and well until this game, but I think you must have been disappointed because the results and contents did not follow. I want to admit that there was a defeat. I couldn’t make the result, but I will say that I will return to the beginning and try to show more than today’s game results. If you come to the stadium as many times as today, I will repay you with good results.”
In response to the opinion that it looked good in the number fight by placing three people in the midfield, he said, “I tried to have a numerical superiority in the opponent midfielder and midfield fight, and the ball possession and game contents were not bad for the first game. We will keep our options and move forward.”
The front striker position also remained a concern. When asked if there was a plan to reinforce the transfer market for this part, Director Cho replied, “We are talking to the Power Reinforcement Room. We are looking in various ways, and the interests and situations must match. It is an indispensable part.” 스포츠토토
Unlike the previous three games, Incheon had a lot of shots on target in this game. Regarding this, coach Cho said, “We prepared a combination that connects after Kim Bo-seop penetrates the back space and Hernandez owns the ball. The regret of the final finish and the timing of the connection were not right. We have to fill it well with the team and partial tactics.”
When asked to evaluate the replacement players, coach Cho replied, “I wish that Zerso had scored in a decisive opportunity. The replacement players are mentally difficult to manage, but they play well and are doing well even in a tight schedule.”
