Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun, who led Daegu FC's dramatic stay in the first division, promised 'dynamic soccer and better ranking'.

Coach Park Chang-hyun won the second round of the 'Hana Bank K League 2024" promotion playoff (PO) against Chungnam Asan (division 2) at DGB Daegu Bank Park in Daegu at 2 p.m. on the 1st, succeeding in a dramatic stay with a combined score of 6-5 in the 1st and 2nd rounds. I want to dedicate my victory to the fans who filled the stands and the players who worked hard. Daegu survived and promised next year. I will prepare well for winter training so that I can get into a better position next year"How do you feel about staying?"

As in the case of Suwon FC and Gangwon FC in the 2023 season, Daegu survived in the first part through the promotion PO. Director Park said, `We thought about that, too. Suwon FC lost to Busan in the first game and won the second game at home. Gangwon and Suwon have made rapid developments this year after receiving POs for promotion. We can do it too. I will prepare to follow the two teams as role models."




Coach Park, who defined Daegu's 2024 season after going through the promotion PO as 'Failure', said "I hope that the team will be evaluated as being 'Daegu is really good" by organizing various difficulties well."," he stressed.

Coach Park, who took the helm of Daegu in place of Choi Won-kwon, who retired in April due to poor performance, said "I came in the beginning and attacked him aggressively, but I didn't get a good result. As a result, I had no choice but to follow the old Daegu (football) again"I don't want to play soccer that relies on counterattack, but I want to play soccer that releases attacks by owning a ball in midfielder. Three-backs can also be avoided to increase the number of midfielders. I'm not saying I'm going to throw away the three-back, but I have to take the three-back and the four-back. These days, there's a modified three-back. I'll prepare well during the winter and play dynamic soccer"The plan for the new season has been revealed.

Daegu came close to coach Park's goal of finishing the game within 90 minutes with five minutes of extra time in the first half and Edgar's consecutive goals in the 38th minute of the second half in the second round of the promotion PO. However, in the 7th minute of extra time in the second half, Edgar's handball foul allowed Juninho to score a 'theater comeback goal' to lead the game to extra time. In the 12th minute of extra time in the second half and the 30th minute of extra time due to the direct exit of Chungnam Asan striker Jose, Daegu again widened the gap with Lee Chan-dong's 'Wonder Goal' in the third minute of extra time to win the final score 3-1.

Asked about the dependence of `Sedga' (Sesingya + Edgar), Park said, `I've said that even during the season, but Cesinha Edgar is also getting older. As a result, the pace of recovery becomes slower. We need to build an organization so that domestic players can play their own soccer. Is Sedga doing it today?However, I don't think there will be any improvement if I rely on only two players. I want to work with a team like Gangwon, Gwangju, and Pohang."

Asked whether Sedga will be included in next year's plan, he said: "They are iconic players in our team. Commit to the team. I think it's natural to be together."

In response, Cesinha responded "Nothing has been decided yet on the contract. This is something that needs to be discussed with the club. I don't think I can elaborate.'




As for the question of 'excessive dependence' there has been a shortfall in the past few years. It's so hard to get older. In 2025, he replaced the answer by saying, "If we plan coolly and clearly and make up for the shortcomings, we will win the Korea Cup again and perform well in the league."

Cesinha, who did not fully recover from a rib injury sustained at the end of the season, scored a combined three goals in two playoff games to lead the team to stay. He `had a lot of will to do something"It was too difficult for the team, but personally, he achieved his 60-60 goal this year, and he also scored a lot of goals and assists. My daughter gave birth, too. I liked that part"I looked back.

As for what fans refer to as the building of the statue of Cesinha "I have devoted myself to the team so far. If you support me, I think I can build a statue," he said with a smile.
