For the first time since its foundation, I don't think about the players of Daegu's Rebellion Park Chang-hyun, Lee Shim-jeon, or the diagnosis.

Daegu FC coach Park Chang-hyun, who has written the history of his first two consecutive wins since its foundation, expressed his confidence. Daegu won 3-1 at home against Suwon FC in the second round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at Daegu iM Bank PARK on the 22nd. Cesinha, who led the upset drama of the opening game, and Ramas, who returned home, showed brilliant chemistry on the same day. Ramas pushed a penalty kick obtained by Cesinha in the 18th minute of the first half, and Chung Jae-sang's powerful shot was deflected in the 7th minute of the second half, which was recorded as Suwon's own goal, and Cao sealed it with a header goal following Ramas' corner kick in the 24th minute of the second half. In the extra time of the second half, he lost a point to Suwon Andersson and missed a clean sheet in front of his eyes, but Daegu's wave offensive and agile organization at the beginning of the season were impressive. He shot 20 shots, nine of them effective shots, and three of them hit the net.
He came from behind to win 2-1 against Gangwon FC in the opening game on the 16th, recording his first win in nine years since winning the opening game of the K League 2 in 2016, and with two consecutive wins, he ranked first in the league with his first consecutive opening win. In the opening two games, Cesinha scored one goal and one assist, and Ramas scored two goals and one assist in two consecutive games.

As for the leading duo of `Sejingya-Ramas" who have won two games in a row, he continues to lead the team wellAfter praising "I hope the season ends today. It's a short time, but first place." "There are many remaining seasons, but I hope we continue to commit ourselves and continue to achieve good results. Not only Cesinha and Ramas, but all the players, including Kaio, Park Jin-hyung, Jung Woo-jae and Ko Jae-hyun, are working hard together. I think it's because I have a goal."
Ahead of the Pohang away game 'Pohang Legend', coach Park mentioned the players' confidence and winning mentality. "Pohang has recently lost three consecutive games and has a bad atmosphere. Anyway, I'm the enemy now, so I have to win, and I'll definitely win." "Now the players are just like me 'Electronic mind' I don't think I'll lose to anyone," he added. Below is the full text of Daegu coach Park Chang-hyun's press conference.
-How do you feel about the game
▶I feel good because I won. I played a good game, but what I'm sad about is the last loss scene. Our players worked hard until the end. He also won his first consecutive game after winning his first opening game since 2016. It is thanks to our 12,000 fans who came to see us even in the cold weather.
-Suwon strikers got caught in Daegu's defensive offside trap a lot, so did they prepare it separately.
▶Baekpo is based on straight defense. If it is drilled, it is an excuse for a big loss, but if it is caught well, it can induce offside. The defenders communicated smoothly. I think that's what happened naturally during winter training.
-Cesinha-Ramas' breathing is really good. What are your expectations for the future.
▶Sejingya and Ramas continue to lead the team well. I hope a season ends today. It's a short time, but there are many seasons left after winning first place, but I hope we continue to commit ourselves and continue to achieve good results. Not only Cesinha and Ramas, but all players, including Kaio, Park Jin-yang, Jung Woo-jae and Ko Jae-hyun, are working hard. I think it's because I have a goal.
-At the beginning of the season, there were many predictions of Daegu's lower ranks and relegation zones, but they won two consecutive games in the beginning.
▶I had a hard time last winter. I think it's growing pains. The players had a clear sense of purpose. To heal the pain of last winter, I took another step and sacrificed myself and practiced winter training in a good atmosphere.
-Jeong Jae-sang's altruistic play stood out. I didn't do the attack point, but I played the role of a voice hero.
▶ Jae-sang was better than the last game today. Cesinha blew away Jae-sang's help today and he'll probably ask for reparations (laughs). It's today's voice hero. A good chance came because he sacrificed himself in front of him. Young players played hard in the front. Cesinha and Ramas stand out thanks to the hard work of these players, Ko Jae-hyun, and Han Jong-moo.
-If you can evaluate Go Jae Hyun's performance in the beginning of the season
▶I didn't say it myself, but he seems to be playing comfortably. Last year, he had such pride in his position that he felt bad unless he was a best member. This year, he is playing comfortably with the intention of sacrificing for the team ahead of his enlistment on April 7. When you go out on the playground, you can see him comfortable. I can see the energy of positivity.
-The next game is Pohang's first away game. Pohang is a team that has a special relationship with the coach.
▶I won last summer when I was in trouble. The atmosphere is similar to that time. Pohang has lost three consecutive games and has a bad atmosphere. Anyway, I'm the enemy now, so I have to win and I'll definitely win. Now, the players are just like me. I don't think I'll lose no matter who I meet.
-It's the first win in the opening game since its foundation and the first two consecutive wins in history. Do you have a personal record of being greedy.
▶There is no such thing as a desire for a record. Every game is precious. Think and prepare like a tournament every game. You don't have to look far. If you play well in each game, the results are accumulated. Our squad is not good, we just do our best looking ahead to every game.
-Young players are at the forefront, skillful and experienced foreign players are at the center in the midfield, changing from three-back to four-back, and the balance is good even though there are many changes. How did you get used to it in such a short time.
▶I trained in Chiang Mai, Thailand for a month. For two weeks, I divided the back four into left and right as a partial tactic, and integrated them for two weeks. I only did organization training for 15 days. Then two weeks later, I even grafted to the offensive line. Through the second division and practice games, the scenes of goals scored and not eaten were supplemented, and the scenes of losing points helped. In a practice game against Bucheon, there was a game that collapsed with the first run as a back pass, so he never allowed the back pass and demanded an aggressive pass. If it is cut from the back, it becomes dangerous right away. I'm always taking this part seriously.
-It's not easy to switch from three-back to four-back in a short period of time, so what's the most focused player or position?
▶ Based on the opening two games, I'm surprised that the players are playing better than I thought. Kaio is used to defending three-back sweatshirts. While playing back fours, he has improved his passing ability toward midfielders and strikers. Park Jin-young is not last year's Jin-young either. These players are growing in the competition. Kim Jin-hyuk also improved his soccer skills before his injury. They are making a lot of efforts to adapt to the back four. Thanks to this, he is No. 1 in the beginning of the season despite playing two games.
