Following the 2026 FIFA North America World Cup break, Yoon Jeong-hwan, manager of Incheon United, which has fallen into a two-game losing streak in the second half of the season, said, "The players worked very hard. I think my shortcomings created these difficulties."

Manager Yoon Jeong-hwan stated at a press conference immediately after the 0-1 loss to FC Anyang in the Hana Bank K League 1 2026 Round 17 home match held on the 12th at Incheon Football Stadium, "It was our first home game of the second half. It is regrettable that we could not secure a result despite many fans attending."

Earlier, in their first away match of the second half against FC Seoul, Incheon lost 0-1. With today's defeat, they have now fallen into a two-game losing streak. This marks their second consecutive loss of the season after opening with two losses at the start.

Manager Yoon said, "We conceded an early goal (in the fourth minute of the first half), making it a difficult match. Although I thought we were playing well afterward, it was a day far from scoring goals. Many balls went directly toward the goalkeeper inside the goal area. We should have created more threatening situations, but some plays were too simple."

Manager Yoon Jeong-hwan added, "There were issues with conceding goals from set pieces, and I think we need to correct this again. The players worked very hard, in my opinion. Perhaps we need to come up with ideas and make adjustments. There will be more matches ahead, so we will continue to make corrections."

He continued, "I believe we need to create more breakthroughs and combination plays. Those aspects were immature. The same applies to finishing. It seems there is still much to do. Personally, I think it would be better if the players could play with a bit more confidence," he emphasized.

Regarding Kim Young-hwan, who made his debut for Incheon after joining the club and also played his K League 1 debut match amid Lee Myung-ju's poor physical condition, Yoon said, "It was his first game, but I think he performed well. It was his debut in the top division, so he may have been nervous, but I believe he will improve even more going forward."
