Korean FA Cup: Incheon United vs Gimcheon Sangmu
Competition time: 2024-06-19 18:00 Wednesday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Incheon United have been in a slump recently, and the team is currently ranked seventh in the league with a record of four wins, eight draws and five losses. Because the team's defensive ability is indeed relatively limited, so Incheon United has not been able to achieve too good league results in recent seasons, and last season this team was only ranked sixth in the league, it can be said that Incheon United does not have the possibility of competing for the league title at all, considering that middle and lower teams like Incheon United tend to put more energy into the cup, and there are not too many national team players in the team, then the follow-up Incheon United is likely to show a strong desire to win in the FA Cup.
In the last five games, Incheon United has one win, three draws and one loss, with a poor record. In the last game, the team drew 2-2 away with Jeonbuk Hyundai and earned an embarrassing four-game winless record. Judging from the process of the game, although the overall strength of Jeonbuk Hyundai is stronger than Incheon United, and the main striker Moon Xuanmin is also very active in this game, only nine minutes after the opening to help Jeonbuk Hyundai break the deadlock on the field, and scored another goal in the second half to help the team expand the lead, but Incheon United is also a team with good offensive ability after all, and the players of Jeonbuk Hyundai were relaxed at the end of the game, and finally Incheon United relied on two wonderful goals from Kim Do-hyuk and Kim Sung-min, The big score on the field was tied.
Personally, the biggest problem of Incheon United at present is that the main players lack of defensive concentration, and it is often difficult to limit the opponent's offensive advancement speed in the middle of the game, and the forward players' awareness of assisting in defense is relatively weak, resulting in the midfield and backfield often under greater defensive pressure, and the 343 formation seems to have a lot of midfielders, but the players have not been able to form a defensive chain with each other, so it is naturally difficult to block the rapid attack of the opponent, but considering that Incheon United does not have much need for league points, It is only natural that the club's hierarchy will be aiming for the upcoming FA Cup, after all, Incheon United also successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the FA Cup last season, and it is clear that the team is still very hopeful of competing for the FA Cup title.
Gimcheon Sangwu's form has also declined recently, with a current record of eight wins, six draws and three losses, ranking fourth in the league. Gimcheon Sangmu's league ranking has also dropped due to the team's defeat to Gwangju FC in the last round of the league, but at this stage, there is actually only a two-point gap between the team and the league leader Ulsan Hyundai, which means that as long as the Gimcheon Sangmu players can quickly find their competitive form, then the team still has hope to compete for the league title. Moreover, Jinquan Shangwu is a team with more guaranteed defensive ability, with the blessing of the 433 formation, the team can not only exert huge defensive pressure on the opponent through strong offensive tactics, but also effectively alleviate its own defensive pressure, considering that Jinquan Shangwu will inevitably put more energy on the league level, then the team coach may adopt a player rotation strategy in the FA Cup, after all, the FA Cup and the league championship are still difficult to compare.
Match Analysis:
Incheon United and Gimcheon Sangmu have already met once in the league this season, when the away team drew 2-2 with Gimcheon Sangmu. In the last ten meetings, Incheon United has won four, drawn two and lost four, and is also equal with Gimcheon Sangmu. Although the overall strength of Incheon United is indeed not as good as Gimcheon Sangwu, but because Gimcheon Sangwu will inevitably put more energy on the league level, it is unlikely to pour too much physical energy into the FA Cup, and Incheon United does not have the possibility of competing for the league championship, Incheon United will become a more advantageous side under the advantages of the other, considering that Incheon United's offensive ability is still remarkable, I believe that Incheon United is very likely to rely on a stronger desire to win, and successfully grab a promotion place in Gimcheon Sangmu.
Korean Vocational Union: Daejeon Citizens VS Jeju United
Competition time: 2024-06-19 18:30 Wednesday
Analysis of the team's recent situation:
Daejeon Citizen's state has picked up recently, the previous two rounds of league teams have achieved a good record of one win and one draw, obviously the players have gradually found their competitive state, but because Daejeon Citizens failed to taste the taste of victory in six consecutive rounds of the league, so the current team is still at the bottom of the league with a record of three wins, six draws and eight losses, but considering that Daejeon Citizens and Jeonbuk Hyundai, which is in a sluggish state, is actually tied for the same point, and there is only a two-point difference from Daegu FC, As long as the main players of Daejeon Citizens can maintain a relatively stable competitive state, perhaps this team will soon get rid of the embarrassing situation of the league crane.
From the perspective of the tactical board, Daejeon Citizen's usual formation is a set of 343 formations, and only when playing against strong opponents, the team will take the initiative to adjust to the 352 formation to strengthen the midfield interception ability. However, Daejeon Citizen's three-guard system does have fatal weaknesses, first of all, the team's offensive ability is relatively average, so it is difficult to relieve defensive pressure through offensive suppression. Secondly, the individual ability of the three defenders is relatively limited, if the midfielder retreats too slowly, the one-on-one defense is unable to limit the opposing player to spread the fire to the hinterland of the penalty area, that is, the interception of the midfield is the foundation of this team, once the midfield is lost, then it is difficult for Daejeon citizens to achieve too good results in the game.
Jeju United's overall strength has been declining in recent seasons, and now the team is ranked eighth in the league with a record of six wins, two draws and nine losses. Although Jeju United is also an old powerhouse in the Korean professional league, due to the limited recruitment funds invested by the club in recent years, the competitiveness of Jeju United in the league is also declining, and Jeju United is a relatively slow team, often in the early stage of the league The main players need to find the state through a large number of games, considering that this season, the club's senior management will definitely not focus on the league championship level. Then it's a good idea to settle for the FA Cup title.
Match Analysis:
Daejeon Citizens and Jeju United have met twice in the league this season, and Daejeon Citizens have failed to take advantage of Jeju United after two games. In the last ten meetings, Daejeon Citizens have won four, drawn one and lost five, and they are also at a disadvantage. Although Daejeon Citizens are stronger than Jeju United on paper, in the face of Jeju United's defensive counterattack team, Daejeon Citizens' tactical play is obviously not able to achieve too good results, and because the team's defensive ability is quite limited, when Jeju United launches a rapid counterattack, it is difficult for Daejeon Citizens to form an effective defensive line.
