Ki Sung-yong's rib bone microfracture OUT → It's a shame that it's not at an important time. Director Park Tae-ha is looking forward to good news today



"It's a shame that we're not at the critical moment."

Pohang and Anyang are set for the 26th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Anyang Stadium on the 15th.

Pohang has taken the opportunity to rise. Pohang lost three consecutive games and won Daegu and Gwangju and succeeded in winning consecutive games. Winning the previous two games without losing points is a good thing for Pohang, where defense was a concern. However, Ki Sung-yueng's departure is painful. Ki Sung-yueng has contributed to his reputation in the midfield since joining Pohang. Ki Sung-yueng suffered a microfracture of his ribs in the match against Gwangju and is inevitable to be absent for the time being. Fortunately, the gap in the midfield is expected to be minimized due to Kim Dong-jin, who has been ruled out due to the suspension, and Kim Jong-woo, who returned from injury.




Coach Park Tae-ha, who met with reporters before the game, first said of Ki Sung-yueng's injury "It's not a big injury right now. I don't think it'll take long because it's an ambiguous injury, but it's a pity that we're not at an important time and at a time when we need to be."

As for the opponent Anyang "Anyang is not an easy team. Jeonbuk was also scolded. We lost the game, but we're not easy opponents, and we don't guarantee victory just because we're on a two-game winning streak. I'm going to focus on winning because it's an important part."

Recently, Pohang is a team that has seen the diversity of tactical changes. Players are also aware of this. Coach Park seems to be sensitive to players showing up during the game, saying, `It's always given away.' When I asked him to do this at the beginning, wouldn't he be able to make all the changes. I hope you don't think sensitively because it's a tactical change to beat the opponent rather than a big change."




Recently, Pohang's Hong Yoon-sang has gained momentum with three goals in four games. However, Hong Yun-sang passed the Sangmu, making it difficult to finish the season in Pohang. Coach Park said "It's good to be a player if he's good, but there can be a slump at any time. Hong Yoon-sang also seems to have done so in the first half. I don't think it's too late because I have a performance that I'm looking forward to again."

"It may be a shame if it's in the form now, but some players are preparing." We have to continue to see whether we will do well or not until that time,' he added.

In Pohang, the performance of front-line Lee Ho-jae is inevitably important. His performance is already at its peak with 10 league goals this season, but he has been silent in recent games. Coach Park said, "(As a team, if (Lee) Ho-jae scores a lot of goals, it will be directly related to the result, so it would be good if he does well." I've been a little sluggish for a few games now, but I hope you do a little better. He is aware of this, and he is preparing well for his own mind control to score. We expect good news today."
