Gwangju FC coach Lee Jung-hyo gave stinging advice to Jeonbuk Hyundai coach Gus Foyet.
The Professional Football Federation held the "2024-25 ACL Participation K-League Media Day" at the Football Center on the 5th ahead of the resumption of the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) and AFC Champions League 2 (ACL2) in the 2024-2025 season.
Ulsan HD, Pohang Steelers, Gwangju, and Jeonbuk, who are active in the ACL stage in the 2024-2025 season, participated in the media day. Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon and Kim Young-kwon, Pohang coach Park Tae-ha and Jeon Min-kwang, Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo and Lee Min-ki, and Jeonbuk coach Foye and Park Jin-seop attended.
With the 2025 season just around the corner, coaches are showing their utmost respect. Kim Pan-gon promised that Ulsan would win its fourth consecutive league title, while Park Tae-ha aimed to win Pohang's third straight Korea Cup title. Lee Jung-hyo made a commitment to enter the middle ranks, and Foyet mentioned rebuilding a prestigious family.
Afterwards, they were given Q&A sessions with reporters. Three coaches were asked to "know what kind of league the K-League is to coach Foye," and Foye was asked "what he can show in the K-League."
"I have only half a season, so it's hard to say that," coach Kim Pan-gon said. "I welcome Foye completely. A world-class maestro is here. If he shows good form, it will be an example for us and a pleasure for our fans. I hope he can show advanced and dynamic soccer that we expect."
Coach Park Tae-ha said, "Congratulations on your entry into the K-League. I told you it was difficult, but it's really difficult. I also had difficulties when I took the helm of Pohang for the first time last year. Jeonbuk has made many changes. It was a situation where you were in a high position and then crashed. You have to contribute a lot to save the pride of a prestigious family. Good luck."
Coach Lee Jung-hyo offered sincere advice. "If I were to give a tip to coach Foye, I would like to tell him that if he beats FC Seoul, Ulsan, Pohang, Jeju United, and Daejeon Hana Citizen, he is close to winning the title. When playing against these teams, I hope he will do his best to prepare for 200 percent of the match," Lee said.
"Thank you for welcoming me," Foye said after receiving welcome and advice from the three coaches. "I came to the K-League to learn Korean soccer. The sooner I know the characteristics of a player or league, the more helpful it will be. We are talking about creating an environment in which clubs and players can display the best performance." 스포츠토토
"As a result, if Jeonbuk has more national team players and produces good results while playing good soccer, that will be a way to help Korean soccer. He is the only foreign coach in the K League 1. I know soccer needs to be played under pressure. I will do my best under this pressure."
