Incheon United, which suffered its first K-League 2 relegation since its foundation last season, is ready to fly again with Yoon Jeong-hwan (52), the "2024 K-League 1 best coach." Yoon, who made remarkable achievements last year, will also take on a new challenge in the K-League 2.

Coach Yoon met with reporters in Ananti, South Gyeongsang Province, on the 6th and expressed his extraordinary determination for promotion in the 2025 season.

After the first training camp in Thailand, Incheon is conducting the second training camp in the South Sea. "The players are following along well. The results were not bad, so the atmosphere of the players was much higher," Yoon said. "I clearly communicated the game model I want to play to the team. The players liked that part. The atmosphere is hot as there are competitions to be key players."

Coach Yoon, who had the best performance in the club's history in Gangwon Province last year, will run toward the goal of "promotion" in Incheon in the second part. "The players have good basic skills," he said, "It is not Incheon's soccer that pursues counterattacks in the past three hundred forms. It has completely changed. There will be some changes in the form of attack, but I am confident that Mugosa is leading the team members well," but stressed, "In the end, there should be desperation."

Incheon has built a strong lineup of foreign players that is hard to see even in the K League 1 this season. Mugosa and Gersault, who were active players last season, are left, and even proven Barlow joined the team. "They are the best in terms of their name. I don't play soccer under their name, but they can give high expectations to me," Yoon said. "However, other than the three players, the remaining players are also desperate. There could be issues such as injury or poor condition. I will make good use of Korean players as well."

Yoon expressed caution about the K-League 2. "We have to face it first. It's my first time in the K-League as well as the players. I don't know how the opponent will turn out," Yoon said. "These days, they keep pressing forward without losing the second division. I think the level of K-League 2 teams has increased compared to the past."

Incheon, whose priority was to stay in the K-League 1 every year, will now set the goal of winning the K-League 2 championship. "Players have changed a lot. Players are really in the second division now," Yoon said. "They said they would go up somehow when we had individual interviews with players. Players are motivated. Even though the weather has gotten colder in the South Sea, they have increased their concentration."

"Players try to make the team feel 'alive' on the field," he said. "They don't try to control the mood of the team. They don't suppress the team. All they have to do is follow the internal rules well, but the team has performed them well, so the atmosphere is very free. They are noisy even in restaurants. This is proof that the team is in a good mood."

"He seemed so weak. I felt lethargic," Yoon said. "It's not true when I see him in person. Players are full of motivation. I wonder why he was demoted last year." 메이저사이트

When asked if there was one thing he needed to get promoted to the K-League 1, Yoon replied, "Desperate." "Since I was in the first division and came to the second division, I need to be more desperate to get back to the K-League 1 than to be a 'great team,'" Yoon said. "If I fail to make it at once, I may be stagnant in the second division. I will do my best this year."
