Pohang coach Park Tae-ha said, `Just before the game, Juninho, Lee Dong-hee and Baek Sung-dong had muscle problems. I can't help it. Rather than paying attention to this, I think it will be a good opportunity for players who have trained hard.'
Coach Park said, `We know because we've experienced it, but there are things we have to overcome physically and psychologically, and there are things we can't overcome. I'm thinking of digging into this part today. We don't know if it's good or bad for us, but I think it will affect the response as the weather gets colder. In the first half, it will be a little tight, and in the second half, I intend to be aggressive with a physical advantage.'
