Jeju SK, which needs to rebound, Pohang Steelers, which needs to maintain its upward trend. The coaches of the two teams made no secret of wind and vigilance.

Jeju and Pohang will play the ninth round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025" at the Jeju World Cup Stadium on the 20th.

It is a showdown between Jeju, which has only won one game (two draws and four losses) in the last seven league games, and Pohang, which is undefeated with four wins and two draws in six league games, and two teams showing conflicting atmospheres.




Jeju is struggling early in the season. On March 30, he seemed to succeed in changing the atmosphere by winning 1-0 against Suwon FC, but the atmosphere subsided again by finishing the previous three official matches with one draw and two losses. The frustrating attack was hampered by only three goals in the last seven official games. The thing to look forward to is home performance. He has shown that he brings the atmosphere at home (2 wins and 2 losses) rather than away games (2 draws and 2 losses) this season. Once again, a turnaround was desperate at home against Pohang.

In a situation where the offense's rebound is urgent, head coach Kim Hak-beom took out a three-top leading to Kim Joon-ha, Yuri Jonathan, and Yoo In-su. Coach Kim, who met with reporters before the game, said "The players in front should score."Well"We have a small number of runs. Seven goals in eight games, less than one goal per game. Now you have to put it in to balance it. It's not that I can't play. He said, "I'm good at playing, but I'm sorry for the last minute's lack of concentration."

About Lee Chang-min's physical condition is about 60-70%. I don't know well during training because the flow is fast now and the running distance increases, but when I enter the stadium, I can't keep up. As the game gets a little bit worse, it becomes overloaded, so other teams have recently started to have a lot of hamstring injuries as well."




Jeju is showing good performance even in difficult situations this season, with rookie Kim Jun-ha, born in 2005, taking the lead. Director Kim said, `I don't order anything separately,' adding, `I'm busy doing my own thing, too. I'm trying to give enough time in one game. He rarely took it out in the middle of the first half. About 45 minutes. In the meantime, the players are also growing."

Pohang, which faces Jeju, is looking for an opportunity to continue its upward trend. He has lost two consecutive games since the opening, erasing the atmosphere that had been defeated. He went on a six-game unbeaten streak. In the previous four games, they caught Gwangju (3-2 wins), Ulsan (1-0 wins), and Anyang (1-0 wins) and took three wins to gain momentum. As the defensive concentration rebounded, the performance also gained stability. During his unbeaten run, he only allowed six runs. The attackers are also showing explosive power. Starting with Lee Ho-jae, the main striker with four goals, Cho Sang-hyuk, Juningyo, Jorge, and Kang Hyun-je showed their power in the front, and tied for fifth in the team's score (10 goals).

Pohang coach Park Tae-ha also remained vigilant against Jeju. Coach Park said, `I don't think the atmosphere and the game have anything to do with each other. Rather, it's harder for us. It's not a good situation for us because teams with a bad atmosphere are going to take care of it with special mental strength. I was wary of it and prepared to overcome it."




Pohang, which has been undefeated in six games, cannot forget the performance of young players in the rebound in performance. Cho Sang-hyuk, Kang Min-joon, Han Hyun-seo, and Lee Chang-woo showed outstanding performance by filling positions with injury gaps. "It's not easy for young players to get a chance at first. I've been selected and a few games since the first game, but I'm always emphasizing what I have to do with my nervousness. It is often the first time to come to the first team and perform to some extent, and go down below those expectations. But the players who are playing now are doing well, so I think it's my role to help them continue to go without losing their initial commitment."

Pohang had as many as three goals canceled in the last game, but Lee Ho-jae, who scored and was very active, will take the lead. Coach Park said "The score was canceled, but I have a positive thought that scoring three goals itself is very good in terms of condition and location. He said, "I'm feeling it myself."

Pohang is as strong a candidate as the starting list. Jo Sang-hyuk, Kang Hyun-je, and Giorgi, who have recently gained momentum, are waiting as cards for a turnaround on the replacement list. Coach Park said, `It's a strategic part. Will you attack your opponent by putting it in first or after taking away your opponent's energy. The order cannot be said to be the correct answer. But now, I decided on the order because I thought this list would be a burden to the opponent" he said.
