"I think it's more important to show what kind of team you want to make as a coach of Jeonbuk," said Chung Jung-yong, the new coach of Jeonbuk Hyundai, ahead of his first showdown with Daejeon Hana Citizen in the K-League Super Cup in 20 years and his debut as a head coach of Jeonbuk.

Coach Chung Jung-yong said through the Korea Professional Football Federation on the 19th, "It's definitely meaningful in that it's the first Super Cup in 20 years," but added, "But for us, I think it's a process of checking the direction we've been preparing for the new season rather than winning it." It is a game that can show what standards and principles Jeonbuk makes the team again.

Coach Chung, who took the helm of Jeonbuk ahead of this season, said, "It's more important to show what kind of team you want to make than to put a lot of meaning on the (coach's) debut," adding, "I hope the fans will move as a team, maintain their concentration, and be faithful to the basics rather than splendor." That's the starting point for Jeonbuk to build up in the future, he stressed.

"We are not at the stage to say that (the team) is done yet. However, it is positive that the players understand the direction and principles I ask for and are gradually moving into the game from training and practice games, he said. "I think the Super Cup is a game where we check our current position and set the standard for getting better as we play the season rather than the result."

As for Daejeon, the opponent of the Super Cup, he praised it as "a team that has already proven its color and competitiveness through last season." Coach Chung Jung-yong said, "He has good organizational power, and he has speed and destructive power in transition situations. "If we don't execute what we prepared properly in the game, it can be a difficult game," he said. "I think it's more important to keep our own standards than the opponent."

Coach Chung said, "Rather than putting a specific player ahead, I want to see how stable the new players perform their roles within the team. Jeonbuk has a structure in which the team takes precedence over individuals. In that sense, the most anticipated part is the way the new players are in harmony with the existing players," he explained.

Coach Chung Jung-yong said, "We would like to thank the fans for joining us at the beginning of the new season. Not everything will be perfect right now, but we will make a Jeonbuk-like team step by step with the players, he said. "I will try to make sure that the players do their best on the field and feel the hope that they can get better in the future."

The K-League Super Cup is an official competition hosted by the Federation ahead of the opening of the new season, and is a competition in which the K-League 1 winners and the Korea Cup winners compete for one game. It is the first time in 20 years that the Super Cup has been revived since the 2006 tournament. This year's Super Cup will be held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 21st, a week before the opening of K League 1. Jeonbuk, which achieved a double (two gold medals) in the K League 1 and the Korea Cup last season, and Daejeon, which recorded the highest record in the club's history as the runner-up in the K League 1 instead of the Korea Cup winner, will face off. The prize money is 200 million won.
