Jeonbuk Hyundai's momentum is unusual. The team has revived and the players have grown. The leader has rebuilt the team with practical tactics. Attention is now focusing on whether they can become the basis of the Korean national soccer team again.
Jeonbuk Hyundai defeated FC Anyang 2-0 in the 14th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Monday, continuing its 12-game unbeaten streak (eight wins and four draws). By scoring 28 points, the team has sparked competition to lead the league. It is truly a "return to fame."
There was also a special guest at the stadium. Coach Hong Myung-bo visited Jeonju and started on-site inspection to select the A team. Jeonbuk showed off what "winning soccer" is.
Jeon Jin-woo is by far the most powerful name on the national team's radar. He scored multiple goals on the day to become the lone top scorer (10 goals) in the league, boasting fast speed, explosive penetration and finishing ability. Some soccer communities posted comments such as "He looks like Lamine Yamal" and "He looks like Del Piero" on their posts.
In an interview after the match, Jeon answered calmly about joining the national team, saying, "I don't care. All I can do is do well in the stadium." Jeon Jin-woo is a flanker. It is true that the national team has strong position competitors such as Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, Bae Jun-ho, Yang Min-hyuk, Lee Kang-in and Um Ji-sung. However, this does not mean that there is no possibility at all.
Kang Sang-yoon and Park Jin-seop stood out in the midfield. Kang, who is highly active, played a role as a counterbalancing force in the game, taking care of mischievous tasks at the waist connecting offense and defense. Park Jin-seop led Jeonbuk to a sense of stability in the defense transition by recording six interceptions, four blockings, and eight ball acquisitions.
Their performance was based on manager Gus Foye's philosophy. Foye struggled due to unstable defense in the early days of the season, but transformed Jeonbuk into a team that minimizes lost points through teamwork based on transitions. Jeonbuk has lost half (22 goals → 11 goals) compared to the same period last year.
According to the "Bepro Match Data Report," Jeonbuk acquired 58 balls on the day, a 75.7% forward pass success rate, and an 88.9% success rate in the box. As figures show, Jeonbuk had a high level of structural completion leading to defense, conversion, and finishing. Goalkeeper Song Bum-keun contributed to the clean sheet by blocking all seven effective shots on the day.
The Korean national soccer team is currently atop its group with four wins and four draws (16 points overall) in Group B, the third round of the Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. However, the team should not let down its guard as Jordan (13 points) and Iraq (12 points), ranking third, have been chasing each other. The away match against Iraq and the home match against Kuwait in June will be a watershed moment that must be overcome in order to confirm its advance to the finals. 토토사이트
