Chung Jung-yong vows Jeonbuk will beat unbeaten Johor at home - Chosunbiz

Jeonbuk Hyundai will go all out at home.

Jeonbuk will face Johor Darul Ta'zim FC in the AFC Champions League Elite League phase 4 round held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 3rd. Johor, a prestigious club representing Malaysia, is unbeaten in 2 wins and 1 draw, including a 2-0 win over Pohang, and sits fourth. Jeonbuk (1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss) is down in 10th.

An official press conference was held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 2nd, a day before the showdown. Chung Jung-yong and Mota took the mic representing Jeonbuk.

Chung Jung-yong said, "The ACL match is important amid a tight league schedule. Tomorrow is a home match. We must bring the win and accumulate points. We will prepare well with our full strength tomorrow and show a good result."

What does going all out mean? Chung said, "Earlier, depending on the match situation, we assembled the maximum possible lineup. Now it is at home. There are certainly points we must take. We must win tomorrow. The opponent is a strong team built on intense pressing. We will prepare well and focus on securing as many points as possible," predicting the deployment of key members.

Johor, which beat Pohang 2-0, is by no means a team to be taken lightly. They have as many as 12 foreign players from Brazil and Spain.

Chung Jung-yong said, "The opponent has no losses in the data. They also take about 60% possession. They don't concede goals and are a strong team. Our team will strengthen defensive organization at home to neutralize what the opponent does well. When opportunities arise, we will create space and develop our attack. We will bring results with that. We are focused," pledging to win.
