Least League Run + 58 Conversion Successful... Jeonbuk's Rebound Secret in Numbers

More important than offense is defense and conversion. Jeonbuk Hyundai proved once again the potential of the league's least lost team.
Jeonbuk Hyundai won 2-0 at home against FC Anyang in the 14th round of the K League 1 held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on Wednesday. With the victory, Jeonbuk had 28 points (8 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses), tying with Daejeon Hana Citizen, but ranked second with multiple points inferiority.
Given the score, the focus can be on Jeon Jin-woo's multi-goal performance. However, Jeonbuk's victory on the day was attributed to its unique teamwork shown in defense and transition. The record of the team's unbeaten record in the last 11 games and the minimum number of goals lost (11 goals lost) in the league was not just a result of luck.
Jeonbuk recorded a total of 42 clearings, 21 blockings, and 10 interceptions on the day. The figure is nearly twice that of FC Anyang (21 clearings, 14 blockings, and five interceptions).
Notably, Hong took the center stage of Jeonbuk's defense by scoring 14 clearings and three interceptions. Kim Young-bin also displayed flawless defense by winning six contests in the air, nine clearings, and one intercept.
Midfielder Park Jin-seop was also a key pillar of the defensive transition. He recorded six interceptions, four blockings, and eight ball acquisitions in the game, and faithfully played a role in blocking the opponent's offensive development early in the defensive transition process.
Coach Gus Foyet and his players repeatedly emphasized the transition, or "transition," before and after the game. "Coach Park emphasized the importance of transition when dealing with a team like Anyang. The key was to quickly take the transition from defense to offense to defense," Park Jin-seop said in an interview after the game.
Such tactics can also be confirmed by data. According to the "Bepro Match Data Report," Jeonbuk recorded a total of 58 pitches in the match, which is less than Anyang (78), but the frequency of threat conversion through forward passes was much more efficient.
Jeonbuk's success rate of forward passes was 75.7%, and in particular, the success rate of passes from outside the box to the box reached 88.9%. Kim Jin-gyu played a key role in deploying the finishing attack with a 100% success rate of long-distance passes (2/2) and Kim Tae-hwan also 50% (1/2).
Jeonbuk's game management is a structure that responds quickly to transition situations based on a solid defensive line. On this day, the defense success rate was 13/27 (48.1%) in aerial ball competition and 9/18 (50%) in ground competition, many of which were blocking near the box. 스포츠토토
Goalkeeper Song Bum-keun blocked all seven effective shots and posted a 100 percent save rate. The numbers "catching in the fourth inning and "punching in the third inning" demonstrate that Jeonbuk's defense strategy is not limited to the line of defenders, but is functioning organically until the last minute.
