Finally, I didn't care about the criticism of the first goal, I believed it would be a goal one day



"I didn't care about the voice of criticism, I believed the goal would explode someday."

It was Giorgi's smile. The Pohang Steelers, where Giorgi finally exploded, succeeded in winning consecutive games. Pohang came from behind to win 3-1 in the 16th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against Daejeon Hana Citizen at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 27th with Giorgi's 1 goal-1 help-1 start and strong performance. Pohang, which has won two consecutive games, jumped to fourth place with 25 points, beating Gimcheon Sangmu (24 points).

Pohang, which gave Joo Min-kyu the first goal in the 13th minute of the first half, turned the game around with Giorgi's one-man show. Giorgi served as a starting point in Lee Ho-jae's equalizer scene in the 32nd minute of the first half, followed by a powerful right-footed shot in the 36th minute to create an upset goal and his first goal of the season. In the 26th minute of the second half, he even helped Kim In-sung score a net goal. Giorgi had a cramp in his leg and had his best performance until he was replaced in the 33rd minute of the second half.




Speaking at the post-match press conference, Jorge said, `I'm happy to take the three points that were my goal in the away game. Thank you to the team members who played hard and the fans who came all the way to support us.

Giorgi had a lot of trouble. Some fans were ridiculed beyond criticism. Jorge said "This goal was important to me. It was a goal that could bring confidence for my wife who helped me hard and for more games. I didn't care about every word except the people I was with. I didn't care about anything positive or negative. If you pay attention to this, the game will be affected. I think the effort to fill the gaps with my colleagues helped. I think we can grow further in the future." Then "I was able to perform well because I had confidence and people who trusted me. It was possible because the director believed it."

When there was no goal in 15 games, I believed this moment would come one day while playing. I thought I would play with confidence. All that remains is to continue his good performance because this moment has come."




As for the scoring scene, "The moment I was hit by the foot, I hit it so well." "I thought that if I didn't miss the goal, it would be a goal."

Giorgi recently moved from the front line to the left side. He "It's helping a lot. You can play with confidence when you play on the original wing. I am confident in the one-on-one situation that came out at this time. It's helping."
