"Really?" Jeonbuk is not ready for a relegation war

'No way?' is slowly turning into reality. Jeonbuk Hyundai's crisis continues.
Jeonbuk lost 0-2 to Daejeon Hana Citizen in the 34th round held at its home ground on Sunday. The loss made my stomach even more bitter. Jeonbuk stayed at 37 points and moved down one notch from 10th to 11th. On the same day, Incheon United (32 points), the lowest ranking, lost to maintain the five-point level, but fears remain over direct demotion.
This is an unexpected trend. Jeonbuk has displayed a sharp upward trajectory with six wins and two draws in eight matches, including the Asian Champions League 2, while seeking to stabilize its defense. It successfully escaped the relegation zone in five months. The moment Jeonbuk said it would advance as expected, crisis struck again.
The final regular league match with Daegu FC was the beginning. Jeonbuk, which fell behind 0-2 and succeeded in turning the game around 3-2 to 4, gave up two goals in the added time, falling apart 3-4. Jeonbuk, which fell back to the relegation zone, lost its first match of the split round again, falling into a losing streak.
In fact, the match against Daejeon was a game that overwhelmed the opponent in terms of content. If the early opportunity had been taken advantage of, it would have been possible to win a big victory. However, the goal didn't hit in the end, and I had a bitter taste of defeat. The reality of Jeonbuk is too bad to comfort that the process was good.
"Final B is not a process but a result. We have to earn at least one point at any cost." Such a one point makes a huge difference at the end of this season. Suwon Samsung was demoted from multiple points last year, not even a point. At the most important moment, the team lost ground to its rival teams in the rankings.
In the end, the relegation war is a battle of momentum and concentration. The will to win and the fighting spirit to take another step determines victory or defeat. Just because you are superior in objective power, you cannot guarantee victory even if you play a good game. This weekend, it was pushed by the opponent, but Daejeon and Jeju United, which finally won three points, prove this.
Jeonbuk is not ready for this yet. The loss to Daejeon was not just because it did not score a goal. The place where the rat bites the cat to survive is the Final B. In order to survive in this hell, it should quickly switch to the "demoted fighting mode." Both Jeju Island and Suwon City, which were not able to do so, have been demoted. Jeonbuk is currently in the relegation zone. 메이저사이트
