Having lost self-esteem, Jeonbuk Hyundai recruited Gus Foye to rebuild its prestigious family. Foye is making efforts to elevate Jeonbuk through training sessions in hell. What kind of intention and direction is there.

Under Gus Foyet's rule, Jeonbuk Hyundai is currently training in Thailand through Hua Hin and Bangkok. Jeonbuk, which parted ways with Kim Doo-hyun, has chosen Foyet after a long period of consideration. Foyet, a Uruguayan, has played for Real Zaragoza, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, and since retirement, served as coach of Brighton in 2009. He has led Sunderland, Athens, and Real Betis, where he worked with Ki Sung-yueng and Ji Dong-won when he was a coach at Sunderland.

After coming to Shenhua, Shanghai, he experienced the Asian stage, and after taking charge of Bordeaux, he served as the Greek national team for two years from 2022. He has experience as a club manager and has built his career by leading European big league teams to Asian clubs.
After his separation from Greece, he was mentioned as a candidate for the Korean national team. He was known to be a finalist along with Hong Myung-bo and David Wagner, but lost to Hong. Coach Foye, who was visiting the new team again, was caught by Jeonbuk's radar network. There were other candidates for the coach from abroad, and Foye received the final choice from Jeonbuk.

Two of the biggest reasons why Foye chose Jeonbuk were its willingness to communicate and preparedness. "I talked to Foye about the situation in Jeonbuk and shared the direction of the team and current issues," Lee told Interfootball when Foye was appointed. Foye's philosophy is very important in terms of skills, strategies and tactics, but building personal trust with the players through communication was the basic. In that sense, the direction was right for us," he said.

Poet, who has to prove it as soon as he arrives, is preparing for the 2025 season by taking strong physical training and thorough management. When this reporter met him at his hotel in Bangkok, North Jeolla Province on Saturday, he looked modest and courteous. He shook hands with reporters one by one, and asked them to ask any questions, creating a comfortable atmosphere. When asked in earnest, they passionately answered questions to inform him about his life in North Jeolla Province. The interview lasted for one hour and seven minutes. Part 1 only summarized the answers he was giving as a coach of North Jeolla Province.

-What's the status of the training camp? Please evaluate the players.

First of all, it is changing and controlling overall. I think it is very different from what I did before. I try not to deviate from what I planned. The players are following well. I feel fantastic emotions. I trained enough for a few days to feel that the players were struggling. The following posture was satisfactory. I think it will be easier if I get to know the players and the club well and build understanding of each other.

-I've heard that the training intensity is at its peak. Please tell me why. And how to manage when players may be unhappy.

The goal is to normalize the team. That's why we train like this. Last year's performance was bad, and if there is one reason, we just have to fix it, but I thought it was several parts, so I felt that overall improvement was needed. So I'm watching the overall season by increasing the intensity of my training. Is this training just for the opening? No. I'm looking at it in the long run. I don't know how long it will take for the team to improve and develop, but I'm focusing my efforts on improving the most basic physical strength level. If you see any changes, you can say that we are improving.

The time required may be different because there is a level I want. What is certain is that we are working on a long-term report plan. The first and foremost is the level of physical strength, so we are increasing the intensity of our training. Still, there are no major injuries yet. There are no muscle injuries. So, personally, the players say it is too hard, but I don't know if the training intensity is that high (laughs).

-He has coached in many countries. How good are Korean players?

Overall, there are many talented players. When coaching at clubs in other countries, there must be a difference in the quality of strikers and defenders, but Jeonbuk does not see much difference in quality by position. It is also impressive that players are immersed in training or practice matches. Communication is going well. Players are trying to get to know each other, and the coach is also getting to know the players. I feel that interactive communication is good.

Beyond technical characteristics, I am trying to understand what kind of characteristics Korean players have as a whole. Overall, Korean players are so good that they don't have to say bad things.

-It is known that he really wanted to come to Jeonbuk. How did you feel after coming here?

I'm a person who focuses on what I'm doing today. There are many things to improve, but I can't do it all at once, so time seems to dry up. Before coming to Jeonbuk, I had a rough plan, but I didn't think about what I was going to do when a situation happened.

What I want to say is that the quality of this team's squad and the internal quality of the team are what I want. I am moving well as I want. The players' abilities are so better than what I saw on the video. They actually play better. There are some ambiguous parts, but after grasping the individuality of the player, I learned how to improve it. I am devising a clear plan after coming, not before coming. 메이저사이트

-Tell me about the player reinforcement. Which position do you lack?

We continue to talk with Michael Kim and discuss recruiting players. We continue to ask Director Michael Kim to recruit players. When recruiting, the focus is on whether we can immediately gain momentum. Song Bum-kun and Kim Young-bin have been recruited, but the players gained vitality. I think that if we immediately recruit players who have been mentally damaged will recover. Recruitment of players is necessary to resolve the negative atmosphere and instill a fresh flow. Outside the training site, we are talking with Director Michael Kim to recruit players. A lot of things are positive. We need to submit the ACLT list by next week, so we need to expedite the process. I will not say which position is lacking. If we speak, they will raise transfer fees and annual salary, so we will keep silent
