Jeonbuk Hyundai is in the final phase of its winter training camp in Thailand. Jeonbuk will board a flight to Korea on the night of March 2 and arrive at Incheon International Airport the next day. However, it will board the plane again a week later. The team will play the first round of the round of 16 of the 2024-2025 Asian Champions League 2 (ALC2) against Port FC that will take place at BG Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on February 12.

Jeonbuk, which departed for Hua Hin, Thailand on June 2, is moving to Bangkok on June 23 for its second tour. The tour focuses on practice games and enhances performance in the actual games.

Considering the match against Port FC, it is safe for them to stay for another week and then return home after playing the first round of the round of 16. Spending about a month in Thailand, they have completely adjusted to the local climate and environment. In the meantime, returning to a cold country after a week and going back to Bangkok could be a negative factor in terms of condition management.

Jeonbuk also agonized over this issue. However, it decided to go back to Thailand after returning to Korea. "We had some schedule issues ahead of the opening of the K League 1," a Jeonbuk FC source said. "More than anything, we thought that the team's long stay in Thailand could negatively affect the team's mood and performance." In terms of adaptation to the situation in Thailand, staying in Thailand may seem good, but the schedule that lasts for more than a month following the off-season training could accelerate the fatigue of individual players.

Jeonbuk has confirmed its recruitment of defender Kim Young-bin and goalie Song Bum-keun through the winter transfer window. Efforts are also underway smoothly to clean up its squads and strengthen its foreign players. After returning from Thailand, the team focuses on putting together all the pieces of the puzzle. 메이저사이트

Attention is focusing on what kind of soccer the new coach Gus Foyet will perform. Previously, he displayed solid colors on the European stage. Most teams chose 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation using four backs. He targeted opposing teams by ball possession and build-up, and when it came to defense, he maintained proper shape from his side rather than forward pressure before hitting the opponent team with counterattacks. Attention is growing on whether he will maintain and develop this shape at Jeonbuk, which has firm team color called "Dakgong," or transplant a new style of soccer based on his own philosophy to Jeonbuk.
