Pohang and Gwangju are set to play in the 25th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Pohang Steelyard on the 10th.
Pohang shook off the pain of its previous three consecutive losses through a 1-0 victory over Daegu. In particular, the fact that he won the clean sheet is encouraging. The defense, which allowed as many as 12 runs during its three consecutive losses, was reorganized again and showed a stable performance against Daegu. Along with 'Dapak Jinx', he also smiled, erasing the memory of no victory since 2019 in Daegu's away game. The results of the Gwangju match are important because we have to continue the momentum. However, coach Park Tae-ha's concerns grew due to a power vacuum. Lee Tae-seok, who has been Pohang's main resource since last summer, moved to Vienna, Austria. We should look forward to the performance of other resources such as Eo Jeong-won and Kang Min-joon.
Pohang coach Park Tae-ha met with reporters before the game and said, `We conducted training focusing on new players joining, strengthening organizational power, how to lose points, and stabilizing defense.'
Pohang also chose the combination of Auberdan and Ki Sung-yueng in the midfield against Gwangju, just like the match against Daegu. Coach Park made a positive result. In terms of the overall game, he showed good performance" he said.
Coach Park rather expressed caution about Gwangju ace Asani being excluded from the list. He said "No matter who comes in, we don't know what's going to happen. We have to do as we prepare. Regardless of whether a particular player plays or not, we have to focus on the game. It's weird to have this issue. I think the players may also have psychological complacency and weakness in preparing for those things."

Pohang's spearhead against Gwangju is also Lee Ho-jae. Park is also eyeing Lee Ho-jae's growth. Coach Park said, `My scoring ability has improved. In the process of shooting and making, the movements that bother the opponent and the things you try when the opportunity comes have improved. I wish I could focus a little more. I don't think we need to develop further. He's not complacent, but I hope he'll do his best" expressed both praise and desire.
Pohang is also out of power. Lee Tae-seok moved to Vienna, Austria after the match against Daegu just before. Coach Park's choice to fill the spot is Eo Jung-won. Eo Jung-won has been contributing to the team since last season by playing various positions as Park's persona. Because of Tae-seok, Jung-won lived a wandering life. Tae-seok is less utilized than Jeong-won in other seats. He is a specialized player on the left. Eo Jung-won is also the left's favorite player. I think it's a position where you can maximize your skills on the left foot" he evaluated.
One of Park's concerns is the appointment of a center back. Along with the players' return to injury, the number of options in the center back is increasing. There is also Han Hyun, who was active early this season along with Lee Dong-hee, Jeon Min-kwang, and Park Seung-wook. In particular, coach Park played a huge role in Han Hyun-seo when the players left. However, the limitation is the lack of experience. More and more, the opponent penetrated his weaknesses, and the number of mistakes increased. Now we need to grow with that. I think I can show good performance not only at center back but also on the left. I'm also considering the two positions", he explained.
