Pohang is set to play the fourth game of the ACL2 group stage in the 2025-2026 season against Tampa Bay Rovers at 7 p.m. on the 6th.
Pohang, which started the group stage with two consecutive wins, lost 0-1 in the 1st minute of the first half due to a disappointing loss in the away game of Tampa Bay, recording its first ACL2 loss this season. This home game is even more important because it is possible to seek the lead in the group again only by beating the leading competitor, Tampinis.
Pohang coach Park Tae-ha strengthened his will to win in a pre-press conference on the 5th. Coach Park said, `Tomorrow is a game that requires three points. We lost the last away game, and we learned from that game and strategically prepared for three points tomorrow. First of all, the goal is to win, and I think it's time to score multiple points as well."
Pohang also had a lot of regrets in the previous match against Tampa Bay. After allowing a run at an early point, he failed to penetrate the opponent's goal despite repeated attacks. Coach Park said, `The most regrettable thing is the goal. When the opponent was getting down, he needed to score. Looking at the data that day, it was recorded that I crossed very much overall. The failure to score despite many cross opportunities was seen as a lack of desperation from the strikers. I think that should be stronger than the last game."
As for the opposing team's vigilance, "Tomorrow, we are expected to play the game in which we have the lead, so the most vigilant part is that when we have the lead, we should be wary of the parts of the opponent's counterattack."

Kim Dong-jin also emphasized the need to perform well tactically in the scoring area. He said "As the coach said earlier, the score didn't go off even though we had a lot of aggressive scenes. It seems that the first thing to do is to make sure that the tactical preparations for scoring appear well in the game. When I went in, I tried to play the role I had to play in my position and the tactical role well."
As for his opponent, Tampinis "Overall, there were many scenes of him going out of the counter while defending. Considering those parts and the characteristics of the fast-paced players of the offense, I think we should allow a defender or defensive midfielder to check the opponent's striker in advance when we are attacking" he evaluated.
