Few goals, many conceded. That’s the top priority for Incheon United to analyze during the A-Match break.
Incheon drew 0-0 with Suwon Samsung in the 18th round of the Hana OneQ K League 1 2023 at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on Nov. 11. With the result, Incheon (20 points) remained in ninth place.
Against the Big Bird, Incheon lined up in a 3-4-3 formation. The three top players were Gerso, Mpoku, and Hernandez. At the back were Kang Yoon-koo, Kim Do-hyuk, Lee Myung-joo, and Kim Jun-yup. The back three was Delbridge, Lee Kwon-jin, and Kim Dong-min. Kim Dong-heon was in goal.
It was a disappointing result. Incheon tried to score with a foreign trio of Gerso, Mpoku, and Hernandez. The three players kept switching positions to create chances, but none of them came to fruition. In the end, Incheon had to settle for a point as they tied with Suwon.
After the game, head coach Cho Sung-hwan said, “It was our last game before the A-Match break. We wanted to take three points and try to turn things around in the second half, but it was a disappointing result.”
He continued, “Even though the team is in a difficult and sluggish situation, the support of the fans is giving us a lot of strength. We will prepare well during the break so that we can give them pleasure and happiness.”
Speaking about today’s game, he said, “I’m disappointed that we didn’t capitalize on our chances rather than taking solace in a clean sheet. In the first half, we scored few goals and conceded many. We’ll work on that and get ready for the second half. 안전놀이터 We needed more timing and precision in our chances.”
“We didn’t have the right tactics, the right strategy, or the right things going on in the first half. I think we are in the process of getting better. Defensive balance and conceding goals is the first problem, so we will work on that and prepare to score a lot of goals.”
On the other hand, Kim Dong-min, who was sent off after a video review (VAR) just before the end of the game, said, “It would have been fine if it was a legitimate fight, but I think it was a misjudgment.
We need to rebalance our defense and work on our offense. Incheon will face the Pohang Steelers in Round 19 at home on May 25 at 4:30 p.m. after the A-Match break.
