The professional soccer K League 1 Gimcheon Sangmu has been mired in a swamp of no wins (five draws and one loss) for the first six consecutive games. Kimcheon coach Joo Seung-jin emphasized, "We need to continue to pursue the part we pursue."

Gimcheon lost 1-2 to Incheon United in the 6th round of Hana Bank K League 1 2026 away game at Incheon Football Stadium on the 5th. After losing consecutive goals to Mugosa in the first half, Ko Jae-hyun's comeback goal in the second half was scored, but he failed to balance it in the end. It is the first loss of the season following the opening five consecutive draws.

Coach Joo Seung-jin said at a press conference after the game, "It was a pity that we could not ride the flow without depressing the opponent's pressure in the first half," adding, "We tried to lay the groundwork for the pursuit by reorganizing it in the second half." Thanks to the players' good performance, I was able to recover the goal. We will make up for the shortcomings by looking back," he said.

Regarding the trend of no wins in six consecutive games, coach Joo said, "We need to make a small change and take a sense of stability," adding, "We need to continue to pursue the part we seek." I took a different system today, but it wasn't smooth. "I think you have to take a lot of the part you're pursuing to increase your probability (to win)," he said.

Next is Joo Seung-jin's question-and-answer session against Incheon.

- The general evaluation of the game is.

"I'm sorry for not being able to give victory to the fans who came to support the expedition. It was a pity that he couldn't get on the flow without putting pressure on the opponent in the first half. I think we need to look back on the losing scene. In a 0-2 situation, rushing can lead to a large number of runs, so let's set up a good foothold to chase. I asked him to do the parts he pursued. Thanks to the players' good performance, I was able to recover the goal. When it comes to what was lacking, I will look back and make up for it."

- The first and second half performances were different. The part I ordered at half-time.

"It was physically difficult when it came to putting pressure on the opponent. That led to a loss. If it went from 0-2 to 0-3, it seemed like there would be no foothold to chase. It was important to put the cross behind the opponent's camp when it crossed the opponent's side, and it also led to a goal. As much as we push ahead, the opponent also used up his physical strength as he targeted our back line. Failed to raise the energy level. It was insufficient in that regard."

- Incheon fans booed goalkeeper Baek Jong-beom. I think it must have been a lot of psychological pressure.

"In the end, it's something that the player has to overcome. At times like this, if the team members could pressure the opponent's pressure system, the fans' booing would have been quiet. I hope my colleagues will also be supportive."

- Why did he replace Ko Jae-hyun, who has a good flow, in the second half.

"Ko Jae-hyun was not bad either. However, it was a replacement to make more use of (former) Byeong-gwan's solo play."

- I think it will be inevitable to change in the flow of no wins for six consecutive games.

We need to make a small change and bring a sense of stability. I think we should continue to pursue the part we pursue. I took a different system, but it wasn't smooth. I think the probability will increase only when you take a lot of the part you're pursuing."
