Jeonbuk Hyundai's ace player in the early 2025 season is Jeon Jin-woo (26). In his second season with Jeonbuk, Jeon boasts hot toes, snatching three goals in seven league games.
Jeon Jin-woo scored the winning goal in the 7th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2025 away game between "leading" Daejeon Hana Citizen and Hana Bank at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 5th, leading the team to a 2-0 victory.
Jeon Jin-woo, who started as right wing forward, shook the net with a calm right-footed chip shot at the second minute of the second half when the score was 0-0, and a one-on-one chance that he took Kang Sang-yoon's forward pass during a counterattack. Jeonbuk, riding the mood, achieved its second consecutive win thanks to Jeon Byeong-gwan's net goal at the 45th minute of the second half. It was its first consecutive league win since Gus Foyet took the helm in December last year.
Jeonbuk is in a situation that has slightly deviated from the "loss consciousness" that Foyet mentioned ahead of the match against FC Anyang on June 30. Jeon Jin-woo, who led the team to victory against Daejeon, said through a relay, "Three points in this match were too important for us. I wanted to win because I thought that if I win this time, it can be an opportunity to advance to a higher position."
Under Foyet, Jeon Jin-woo performs the most brilliantly. This year is likely to be the most brilliant season in his career. Jeon Jin-woo, who made his professional debut with Suwon Samsung in 2018, scored six goals and three assists in 25 K League 1 games in the 2022 season. He still has 31 more games to play this season, achieving half of his record at that time.
When he joined Jeonbuk in July last year, there were concerns. Jeonbuk had a stance of recruiting top league players mainly because Jeon Jin-woo's performance so far fell short of the standard. However, he seemed to shine when he scored the finishing goal in the first round of the K-League 2 Seoul E-Land and the first round of the promotion and playoff last year. Under Foye's leadership, Jeon seems to have established himself as the core player by banking on his strengths such as targeting the opponent team's half space and decisive ability when counterattacking.
"I'm going to see how I can target half-space while watching the English Premier League (EPL) games, and then I'm going to try it both at the stadium and at the training ground," Jeon said with a big smile.
Having made a good start in the 2025 season, Jeon has also gained confidence. "The most important thing is for our team to win, and if we score a goal or assist every game, 토토사이트 I think our team will be close to three points," he said. These days, I go into (the stadium) with the intention that I will set aside one offensive point in every game," he said.
In order for Jeonbuk to regain its status as a "famous" representative in the K-League, it must continue its momentum. "I feel great to have won two consecutive games. Jeonbuk will become stronger in the future," Jeon said with confidence.
