Pohang Steelers coach Park Tae-ha, who won two consecutive games against his rival Ulsan HD, said he still failed to erase the painful scars of his winless victory early in the season.

Pohang won 1-0 with Lee Ho-jae's winning goal in the sixth round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" face-off against Ulsan HD at Pohang Steelyard on the 29th.

Pohang, which won the game thanks to Lee Ho-jae's goal, overcame its slump in the early days of the season to win its second straight game. Pohang has gained three points to rank fifth with eight points (two wins, two draws and two losses). Ulsan, on the other hand, failed to win points and lost the second place to FC Seoul (11 points), which beat Daegu earlier, falling to the third place (3 wins, one draw and two losses, 10 points).

Coach Park said at a press conference after the game, "Before I make a speech, I would like to first convey my condolences to those who were affected by the big fire in northern Gyeongbuk Province."

In his speech, he said, "I felt sorry for the fans because the results were not good at home. I hope today's game will be a comfort to win. The last match against Gwangju, today's home game, showed the desperation of the players to win until the end of the game, and it was a game where Pohang felt that it could take a step further."

Despite his second consecutive win, Park did not erase his memory of six wins in the first half of the season. "I still don't know. I was hurt a lot not only in league games but also in AFC Champions League in the beginning. I still feel bad because I didn't win and I still have some left. As I said, I hope that through today's game, I will be able to move forward with confidence and prepare for the next game."

Auverdan was also the starting point for his goal by playing in the midfield. "Auverdan is the center player of the team. I will do my best in every game. Today's game helped me a lot in offense, especially in defense, and I want to thank him for his hard work," Park said with a big smile.

Lee Tae-seok, who returned to the national team, was substituted on the day. "He showed signs of improvement even before he returned to the national team," coach Park said. "He showed improvement through two matches in the national team, and Eo Jung-won was especially good in the last match, and Tae-seok had physical problems after the match. With Eo Jung-won on the left side, I think he will have more worries in the future."

"I watched both (national team) games," coach Park said. "(Lee Tae-seok) did better against Jordan. "This experience in the national team will help us more," he said.

Pohang had young players come in and played an active role in difficult times. Cho Sang-hyuk, Han Hyun-seo, and Kang Min-joon also played on the day, scoring no runs against Ulsan.

"We 토토사이트 are shining a bright light. If there were no injured people, it would not have been easy to take them out and use them," Park said. "Credit to the injured people who enabled us to take them out and use them. It's hard to jump to a conclusion, but I want to say that there are more players who can really help the team and look forward to the future, not be satisfied, and hopefully grow further."

Regarding the generational change, he said, "It seems to be a natural process. I think it will help the team by synergy effect through competition when the injured return."

Finally, head coach Park said, "I started so bad at the beginning before the game that I can't compare it to the pain, but I'm undefeated in the game and getting better, and I think these parts will help me a lot in the future as well as the players."
