It was the determination of Pohang Steelers coach Park Tae-ha. Pohang lost 0-2 to Daejeon Hana Citizen in the 34th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on the 26th, giving up Lee Myung-jae's consecutive goals. Pohang, which had 51 points, had a seven-point gap with third-place Daejeon Hana Citizen.
Coach Park, who went to the press conference after the game, said "I'm sorry that I lost as a result. I wanted to avenge my last home game but it didn't go my way. The result was 2-0 and the loss scene was disappointing, but the overall content was not bad except for being pushed by the opponent's pressure in the beginning." Then "Original games always struggle with opposition forward pressure. There is a difference between who entered the player, but he aimed for the gap in midfield as prepared. There was a mistake in the process, so the attack work was regrettable, but the content became okay after finding stability.'
It was certainly a game in which Lee Ho-jae and Auberdan, who were absent due to cumulative warnings, felt the void. Coach Park said, `It's hard to say that there's no impact. Players who are most likely to score and will balance in the midfield are missing. It affected the outcome. Given the performance of Kim Dong-jin and Juninho, I think they will be of great help to the offense."
Coach Park expressed his intention not to give up the fight for second place until the end. He said "There's a difference in points, but I'm aiming for second place. We have to do our best to the end."
