"2019 Survival" Again?... Incheon with "Dark Cloud on the River" hanging over it.

Incheon United, which was called the "survival king" when it dramatically remained in the K League 1 five years ago, is on the verge of relegation again this year.

However, the dark cloud of this season's relegation crisis is darker and darker than five years ago.

Reporter Lee Dae-gun's report.

Five years ago, the moment Incheon confirmed the difficulty of staying in the K League 1.

Both coaches and players enjoy the joy of winning the league.

Incheon's success in staying was possible because of manager Yoo Sang-chul, who even revealed his cancer battle before the game.

[Yoo Sang-cheol / Then Incheon United coach (last November 2019): I hope we don't forget this moment and stay together for next year. Thank you. (You can do it, Yoo Sang-chul! You can do it!)]

Incheon is more difficult this year.

At the bottom of the table, we're playing a 37-round home game against Daejeon this weekend, and the number of cases for survival is complicated.

First of all, it is realistic to escape from the last place and then avoid relegation in the final round of the 38th round and play the promotion playoff.

The rest is a near-miracle scenario.

Incheon, which is in the biggest crisis of relegation since its foundation, will also lean on Mugosa's toes.

He is leading the scoring with 15 goals this season, but the problem is that there are no players to support him from behind.

Jeonbuk, which holds the title of the most wins in the K League, is also on the verge of relegation.

It is the position of the "traditional powerhouse" in the K-League to win both of the remaining two games and watch the results of other teams.
