Pohang will play FC Seoul in the 33rd round of the 'Hana One Q K League 1 2025" at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 18th. Pohang, ranked fourth, is three points ahead of Seoul, ranked fifth.
Ki Seo-yong will play as the mainstay of Pohang's midfield along with Auberdan in the Ki Sung-yueng Derby. Lee Ho-jae and Jorge were placed in front. Hong Yun-sang and Lee Chang-woo are on the left and right wings. The defense was composed of Shin Kwang-hoon, Jeon Min-kwang, Park Seung-wook, and Eo Jung-won. Hwang In-jae protects the goal.
Coach Park Tae-ha signed a three-year contract ahead of the game against Seoul. "In fact, stories came and went for a month or two ago. I also had something to worry about at that point. I thought it would be meaningless to renew the contract without achieving any goals, so I said it would be good to talk about it again after the top split decision is made. That's how it went," he said, explaining the renewal process.
The issue of Ki Sung-yueng Derby is hot. It is the first time Ki Sung-yueng plays at the Seoul World Cup Stadium without wearing a Seoul uniform in a K-League game. Ki Sung-yueng, Seoul, Pohang and head coach Kim Ki-dong have a young story intertwined.
Coach Park Tae-ha said he considered Ki Sung-yueng if Pohang won a penalty. "I considered it yesterday, but I don't know. I went in and told the players to judge on their own. Lee Ho-jae's competition for the top scorer was on fire. There are six games left, including today, and I don't know if I'll make a concession because it's a good opportunity for Lee Ho-jae to stay in his life. It's true that we talked to each other."
Coach Park Tae-ha believed that Ki Sung-yueng would be good at out-of-game issues. "He's an experienced player, so I'm afraid if I say it for no reason, I'll feel more pressure (I didn't say it). I only talked about tactical things that I usually do. "Normally, there is no reason to replace Ki Sung-yueng if it goes as we prepared tactically."
Coach Park Tae-ha carefully expressed his desire to play with Ki for a longer time. Ki Sung-yueng left Seoul and joined Pohang on loan, but has to decide his future after the season as his contract with Seoul expires at the end of this season.
Coach Park Tae-ha said, `It was impressive for us that we were worried that it would harm the Pohang team and players even after the transfer. I've seen a lot of people approach young players, tell them experiences, and tell them stories that can cheer them up. be helping the team a lotKi Sung-yueng is giving good energy off the field as well."
Then " (re-contracting) I don't think I can tell you right now. It's not that I didn't talk about it, but I haven't come to a conclusion yet. There are players' thoughts, and public opinion cannot be ignored. Ki Sung-yueng makes the decision in a comprehensive way. I am thinking positively. I want you to do more because you think you can do it enough.'
