Pohang defeated Ulsan HD 3-1 to take the throne after an extended struggle in the 2024 Hana Bank Korea Cup final at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 30th. In the second half of extra time, Wandelson did not give up the ball going out and saved it to lead to a scoring chance. Just before the end of the game, Kang Hyun-je even scored a theater goal.
Pohang ranked sixth in the regular league, but in the Korea Cup, it defended the pride of the defending champion and won its second consecutive tournament. At the same time, Pohang won the throne six times in the Korea Cup (including the former FA Cup). He beat five-time champions Suwon Samsung and Jeonbuk Hyundai to win the title of the most winning team alone.
◇Answer with director Park Tae-ha.
-How do you feel and how you feel about winning.
▶Before I tell you the general review, so many fans came to cheer for us to win in this cold weather. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. As you know, I started this season in a real hurry. In the beginning, it went through a good process to see that the players followed their sweat, effort, and luck in their own way. Since then, there has been a bad atmosphere and consequences. He also did his best until the end thanks to the support of the fans, the sweat and efforts of the players.
In the first half, I felt again that Ulsan was the best team in the league. It's true that the team has been burdened with bad results these days. The ACLE rotation during the week saved the physical strength to play more than the opponent. Tactically and strategically, he was ahead of his opponent. The midfield fight was very difficult in the first half. It was effective to change the location of the midfield movement with Wandelson in the second half. And thank you Kim In-sung for scoring an important goal at a really important, critical time and finishing it really well. I want to say thank you.
-He seems to be good at catching Ulsan at an important moment.
▶There was no time to think about historical records. When I came out afterwards, the result was like that. I played with the intention of focusing only on winning.
-There were difficult times in the summer, including six consecutive losses.
▶It means a lot. All the good memories in the first half disappeared after coming to the finals. It was a bad match against Ulsan in the final and in the league. I thought I had to make up for it again. I can really laugh at the end even though it was a difficult start all year long and thank you to all the fans. I personally feel good to be in a situation where I can be applauded.
-I said I would play soccer.
▶I remember saying that at the beginning. I think it's about 60% now. It's the same now. It has improved a lot for me to evaluate. I can't say it's perfect. Our team has overcome various difficult situations, including injured players, despite the fact that players can collapse after enough summer. If the players do not follow and do not become one, this result will not come out. Kim In-sung played a good role as a senior Shin Kwang-hoon. He played a central role in leading the team. Thanks to this, I got a good result until the end.

▶All the players played really hard. Regardless of the difference between the 11 players who entered first and the players who entered later, it seems that they were really desperate and doing their best on the field.
-He also won the title as a player (1996), and again as a coach.
▶At that time, the team actually belonged, but I had a dark history. The final was held on the plane in the situation of getting off the national team and returning during the 1996 Asian Cup. I didn't play the game. I can't remember. I am incomparably delighted.
-There is no third consecutive Korean Cup title yet.
▶I think it would be good to prepare well for next year and continue such records. I will do my best and perform better next year than this year in the league.
-Looking back, the most difficult moment was.
The preparation period for ▶ was short. New team players, new players, played in a team called Pohang, but it was hard to create a short time. I prepared for a month and a half and two months and went into the ACL. At first, to be honest, it was true that when I started, I thought I should eat less goals when I played Jeonbuk. It's worth a try coming in with the lid on I proceeded with this thought. Winning the match against Daegu has given the players confidence since then. To tell you those parts, it's dizzying what it would have been like without experienced senior players. From the beginning, I felt that it was a very important factor. After the summer, the injury also overlapped. Afterwards, he gave strength by cheering, not criticizing the supporters. That power was a big driving force overcoming six consecutive losses. Afterwards, the team was difficult, but I still want to evaluate it positively. You've done such a great job up to the championship. '
I would like to take this opportunity to thank the boss for helping me with both sides of the water. I also headed the technical committee, but I think the Pohang front desk is the most organized system. Thank you to Pohang employees..

-I have a strand, but it's hard to tell you. I ask for your understanding. And what I really want to say is that I need to think about the entry. Why are there 18 people. There is also a 25-member league. There are many injuries at the end of the year and there is a large electricity leakage. It's very hard to set up 18 people. I hope the Korea Cup will also consider introducing a 22-year-old system. The coach must have a wider range of choices to play a high-quality game. There is a need for improvement.
▶It overturned the underdog evaluation before the season.
-Regardless of everything else, it's to the players. It's not a theoretical story. Would I be the director forever. It's my reward and what I have to do to make the players happy and to work out and play again. I work with the hope that there will be many days when fans can enjoy it and all members can enjoy it. I want to say thank you to the players for their hard work and hard work
