Coach Kim Ki-dong said at an official press conference held on the 3rd a day before the 2023-2024 ACL Group J second match against Wuhan (7 p.m. on the 4th, Pohang Steel Yard)
“We got off to a good start in the first match away to Hanoi.”
This is the first game in I think we have a good chance of winning if we play as prepared.
“I will give it my all,” he emphasized.
Pohang got off to a good start with a 4-2 win in the first group match against Hanoi FC in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 20th of last month, and will host Wuhan at home for the second match.
Malken, the 2018 K League 1 MVP, and national team defender Jisoo Park are playing in Wuhan, but they are not expected to play in the Pohang match due to injury.
Coach Kim said, “Malkeng and Park Ji-soo, who played in the K League, are expected to be absent due to injuries.
Wuhan appears to be a team that uses the offside trap well and is good at counterattacking.
To win, we need to penetrate the dense space of Wuhan's defense well.” And looked ahead.
Regarding the change of the ACL to the Churn system, he said, “What I am worried about due to the change to the Churn system is that if we pass the group stage, we will have to reorganize the players after December.
I am worried that the players may change.”
Coach Kim also said about Wandelsson's injury, “We lost an important player at a critical time.”
He added, “Many players have left the team this season, but other players are filling the void well.
Wandelsohn's vacancy is filled by other players.”
“I believe it will deliver,” he said.
In particular, he emphasized, “It's been a long time since an Champions League game was held at home.
I hope many fans will come and support us,” and added, “We will present victory for the fans.”
Zeka, who achieved a hat-trick of assists in the match against Hanoi, also attended the press conference and said, “I am preparing to win.
Of course I want to score, but I am not interested in personal records,” and emphasized, “It is important for the team to win through my play.”
