[골닷컴, 춘천] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = Gangwon FC and Pohang Steelers will face off in the 14th round of Hana One League QK 1 2023 held at Chuncheon Songam Sports Town at 4:30pm on the 21st. Currently, Gangwon is in 11th place (2 wins, 4 draws, 7 losses, 10 points), while Pohang is in 4th place (6 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses, 23 points).
Gangwon is not in a good mood as it has fallen into a quagmire of three consecutive defeats recently. In particular, he suffers from an empty ball to the extent that he has not scored a single goal in three games. In the end, the disgruntled fans called Choi and held a meeting and were driven into crisis. Therefore, through the victory on this day, I have a strong will to rebound.
Head coach Choi Yong-soo (49) said before the game, “I want the players to show what they can do and show confidence. To change it for sure, I hope we can score a goal today .”
Lee Jeong-hyeop (31) finally came back from injury and was included in the roster. Coach Choi said, “I think it will take a little longer for my condition to improve. Since I’ve been away for a long time, I still lack the sense of the game. I plan to play for approx. 20 minutes.” After returning last year, the atmosphere has changed a lot. I also work well with (Kim) Daewon and (Yang) Hyeonjun.”
Coach Choi had time to communicate with fans after the last match against Suwon Samsung (0-2 loss). About this, he said, “The fans are always happier than we are when we win. We have to show it on the pitch as much as we have received from the fans. Even if we lose, we must not give up.” point out

On the other hand, Pohang is now aiming to continue the trend while regaining the atmosphere that was broken. In time, Gangwon is the opponent. In the last 10 games, they have 6 wins (3 draws and 1 loss), so they have an edge in their opponents. In a positive situation in many ways, we will challenge for our 7th win this season with 2 wins in a row.
Coach Kim Ki-dong (51) said, “I didn’t win in three games, but I was relieved when I won against Daejeon Hana Citizen. I prepared for a week comfortably.” “The key will be how good we are shows our play,” he said, promising victory.
Pohang can rise to second place with a win on this day. Coach Kim said, “I didn’t tell the players because there could be pressure. But they probably know.” “He showed strong tenacity for victory.
He said, “It’s because Jeonbuk couldn’t win. Originally, it’s normal for there to be a gap (between the top and middle ranks) to some extent if you’ve come this far. He added, “You have to run solo Ulsan being someone to tackle them, but since Jeonbuk have good players, I think they will continue to come up to check them. They will definitely come up.”
Kim Jun-ho (20) starts for the first time this season. Coach Kim said, “I was thinking about it a lot. Actually, until yesterday’s training, I was going to send (Lee) Seung-mo. But it’s the FA Cup on Wednesday,” he said. “I had to start the rotation, so I’ll let him play today. We plan the distribution in such a way that Seung-mo takes part,” he explained.
