Jeju United head coach Sergiu Costa has firmly stated that the team's recent unbeaten run is irrelevant to their current objectives. Costa emphasized that dwelling on past successes is unproductive and likened it to living in a museum.

"6G unbeaten? Living in the past is like living in a museum," Costa declared in a pre-match interview. He stressed that the team's focus is entirely on the present and future, with an emphasis on incremental progress. "We will not look at the standings and will move forward one step at a time."

Jeju United is preparing to face Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in a K League 1 match. Currently, Jeju sits in seventh place in the league table with 28 points from 7 wins, 7 draws, and 3 losses. Jeonbuk, on the other hand, is in third place with 34 points, having secured 9 wins, 7 draws, and 5 losses.

Costa's comments signal a determined mindset for his team, urging them to maintain their focus and work ethic regardless of past achievements. The coach's philosophy appears to be centered on continuous improvement and a match-by-match approach to the season.
