Pohang Steelers coach Park Tae-ha remained vigilant ahead of Hana Bank's K League 1 Suwon FC on the 6th and the final round of the regular league.
The Pohang Steelers, who were loved by fans for turning the game upside down at the last minute of this season, experienced a crisis as they fell into a swamp of six consecutive league losses in the summer after winning. However, he won back-to-back league home games against Gangwon and home games against Incheon, and won 3-0 at home against Shanghai in the Asian Champions League, running for three consecutive wins. After escaping from hell, he succeeded in changing the atmosphere by confirming the stomach water.
However, coach Park rather settled down. In a meeting with reporters ahead of the home game against Suwon FC, which failed to win with one draw and one loss this season, "After we had difficulties, we turned the atmosphere around a little, but if the players were lazy and loose, it could be a problem." I emphasized that to the players ahead of today's game"At home, he is now 7 wins, 6 draws, and 3 losses, but those 6 draws and 3 losses had a lot to be desired. When I recalled that part once, the laxity affected the outcome of the game. "We had the luck of playing at home today, not away, but let's take this opportunity and keep the good flow going," he said, expressing the atmosphere.
Asked if the players were already alert to the situation of winning three consecutive games after suffering six consecutive losses, coach Park said, `We should never forget it. In a way, it was the first time at Pohang Steelers, and the players were also embarrassed when this situation happened while passing by without thinking. It's a good situation to turn that crisis into an opportunity, so I told him to think carefully and play today," he said repeatedly.
"I couldn't communicate with the fans again. I always feel sorry for myself. We are always responsible for the position of director. Fortunately, the fans are on the edge of this cliff and they must know each other's desperation because they have overcome the crisis." "I shouldn't forget that part enough, I shouldn't forget it, and I've learned a lot about next season or what's going on in the future."
"We are now in a challenging situation. Of course, there is a point difference from Ulsan, which is in first place, but we have another goal (ACL). To go to another goal, the biggest goal is to raise the ranking one step further."
Manager Kim Eun-joong's Suwon FC was also wary of operating the rotation with young players born in the 2000s. "In the K League, the list and name values mean nothing." "Whether you have a name or not, how you prepare on the field affects the outcome. You should always prepare for the game the same way. Tactics and strategies are not important."
"As I said earlier, the mental part is the most important on today's match day. The most important point that we can have today is that we should be wary of this laxity, laziness, complacency about the results of three consecutive wins.
