(Sports Chosun Kim Dae -sik) Gus, Jeonbuk Hyundai director, is now dreaming of winning the league by enjoying a career in Korea.
On December 12 (Korea time), Poe appeared in the Gibi Sports of England, talking about the career in Chelsea, the view of Chelsea, and the challenges in Jeonbuk and Korea.
Poe is the first Premier League (EPL) director in the K -League history. At first, there were a lot of doubt. After leading the European Big League team, Sunderland and Real Betis, their careers continued to go down. It was not successful in China’s Shanghai Sunhwa, and the Greek national team did not achieve impressive results.
Po -old, who was also the final candidate for the national team’s headquarters, but did not reach his relationship, took the hands of Jeonbuk, which spent the worst season in the history of the club last season. Expectations and concerns for the EPL coexistence coexisted, but Po -old made Jeonbuk the strongest team in the half season.
Jeonbuk, which faced a relegation crisis with 10th place last season, is getting closer to the championship with the overwhelming first place this season. There are still a lot of league left, but it is said that it has already been tilted by the championship of Jeonbuk. Currently, in the 25th round, Jeonbuk has widened the gap with the second place by 15 points. As the team is getting more solid in the middle of the season, it is proved that Jeonbuk’s decision was correct. Recently, Jeonbuk has been racing without knowing the defeat by running 21 games undefeated.
Po -old seems to have liked the challenge in Korea. When asked about the experience in Korea and Jeonbuk, he opened his mouth saying, “It’s really different.” Others came positively to the old director.
He said, “There are a lot of good things. For example, security. It’s amazing. The security is huge. There’s nothing wrong with it. There’s no problem. It’s the most important for people from Europe for a while or from South America,” he said.
A European big club star and a big league map experienced, Po -old, would not have been easy to understand the K -League and Korean culture at first. “As the time stayed here, I now understand this league very well. It was not easy at first.”
“It took time to understand everything, such as their way of thinking, economic speed, tactics, struggles, referees, etc., but when I found a team, I felt perfect.” I often say that the director completed the team’s best 11, “he said.
“I’m a little old, so I was the same as a player, and I was the same as my manager. When the team is doing well, I’m not a style of ‘Wednesday and Saturday, so let’s take three or four people to rest,’ ‘so I don’t do it. So I keep playing with almost the same team. He also talked about his player starter style. In fact, Jeonbuk is moving forward without a big change in the best Eleven, but other clubs are not able to stop it.
Lastly, Po -old said, “If it’s the only big change, the goal was not the ‘league championship’ at the beginning of the season, but now it’s a big change in all ways. It’s a big change in every way. I’ve been doing this very well. I hope this will continue.”
