Yoon Jung-hwan, head coach of Incheon United, said, "For the players, we are in last place, but we strongly talked about not paying too much attention to it, and let's do what we have been doing."

Coach Yoon Jung-hwan met with reporters ahead of the sixth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 home game against Gimcheon at Incheon Football Stadium on the 5th and said, "I said, "Let's do our best in each game rather than the special emphasis."

Incheon, the promotion team, remains at the bottom with one win, one draw and three losses (four points) in its opening five games. As other teams have played one more game, they can raise the ranking to fifth place if they win on the day, but they will remain at the bottom if they lose.

Coach Yoon said, "There are a lot of runs, but I didn't make a special adjustment, but I lost a point because there were a lot of misses in our area. That part keeps getting better and the players are recognizing it. We are continuing to revise that part," he said.

"Kim Chun has been a tricky team for a long time. He added, "It seems that the spirit of the military comes out as it is," adding, "I think it's a team that can't be easily seen because they're all capable players."

Regarding Gerson, who has been excluded from the selection for the last two consecutive games, coach Yoon Jung-hwan said, "I'm depressed because I haven't scored a goal because I have a lot of chances coming," but added, "I also understand well about my replacement in the second half." I'm continuing to tell you to be confident," he said.

Coach Yoon then said, "Lee Cheong-yong certainly has a very outstanding ability to read the game and solve the game. It's helping the team a lot, and I think the players have a lot to see and learn," he added.

On this day, Incheon will have Park Seung-ho and Mugosa as the front two-top players, while afternoon performances, Seo Jae-min, Lee Myung-joo and Lee Dong-ryul will stand in the midfield line. Lee Joo-yong, Juan Ibiza, Park Kyung-seop, Kim Myung-soon, and Kim Dong-heon will protect the defense line. It is the same starting lineup as FC Anyang, which won its first victory of the season.

Manager Yoon Jung-hwan said, "There is an emphasis on continuity, and I also thought about how to use the players. It won't end only in the first half, so I think I'll need the cards in the second half, he said. "I also maintained the starting lineup because I played well in the last game."

In response, manager Joo Seung-jin of Gimcheon said, "We prepared for the match against Incheon by playing the players who will recover and exercising mainly on the players who did not play in the game," adding, "He mentioned a lot about his scoring ability (4 goals in 5 games), and we agreed that we can only bring results if we improve that part ourselves."

"So I prepared a few things, including the build-up system and the part of creating scoring chances. "I'm going to move one player more aggressively in Toomey and take that part depending on the situation now," he said. "We have to wait and see what the outcome will be."

Coach Joo said, "The opposing team, Incheon, has definitely strengthened its organization in K League 2, so the concept of offense and defense seems to be clear," adding, "Lee Cheong-yong has a lot of experience and certainly creates chances." At that time, I think we should respond by raising the energy level, he added.

Regarding the result of all five games being tied since the opening, coach Joo Seung-jin said, "I don't force the players to do that, and the players will know that. In fact, there were not many points in the pre-season preparation process. That's why I expected it," he said.

Coach Joo said, "Instead, I said that the winning rate would increase only if I played a scoreless game, but that's what happened realistically. "I think it would be more likely to put another number of attacks, so I think we should carefully and gradually change the formation," he added.

In Gimcheon, Lee Kun-hee and Park Se-jin will play as two-top players, while Kim In-kyun, Park Tae-joon, Kim Lee-seok and Ko Jae-hyun will play as midfielders. Park Chul-woo, Lee Jung-taek, Kim Hyun-woo and Kim Tae-hwan will stand on the defense line. Baek Jong-beom wears goalkeeper gloves.
