I missed the victory, but...Three-backs Successful + Young Blood Kim Dong-jin and Lee Chang-woo Rediscovered, Pohang's Income

Although he missed the victory, he certainly had income in the Pohang Steelers.

Pohang, led by head coach Park Tae-ha, drew 1-1 against Ulsan HD in the 12th round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 5th.

He missed the game. He had a golden opportunity right before the closing of the second half when the score was tying 1-1. Lee Tae-seok's cross hit Ulsan Rubik's hand. The referee declared a penalty kick after VAR. However, Juninho's left footed shot as kicker was blocked by Ulsan goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo, and hit the ground. Juninho's first goal for his move to Pohang also went up in smoke.

Coach Park, who lost the opportunity to secure three points on the road, lamented after the game, saying, "It was an opportunity given by heaven, but I can't be more disappointed."

It is not just regrettable. Pohang has introduced a three-back system, which it has not used often. It has changed its plan not to give Ulsan as much space as possible. Defender Han Hyun-seo, who was born in 2004, was absent due to concussion, but Cho Sung-wook, Jeon Min-kwang, and Aspro were the first three-back agents to face Ulsan.

Ulsan's right to provide as well as the side space was effectively controlled. Cho Sung-wook was injured during the tackle in the 40th minute of the first half, but veteran Shin Kwang-hoon replaced it. Shin Kwang-hoon also did his part. In the meantime, his side players Lee Tae-seok and Eo Jeong-won played more aggressively. With the three-back producing more-than-expected results, he will be able to operate as Plan B depending on the opponent team.

Midfielder Kim Dong-jin and defender Lee Chang-woo's "rediscovering" is another positive factor. Kim played in 18 games last season, his first year as a pro player. However, he did not have many chances to play in the second half of this season. He failed to find a place this season as he was pushed out of the competition again. It was his first start against Ulsan, which enabled him to actively engage in physical struggle with the opponent team. Kim's defense allowed Auberdan to more actively participate in the attack.

Lee Chang-woo is a rookie player who joined Pohang this year. He made his debut in the fifth round against Jeonbuk Hyundai (2-2 draw). It is his second appearance. He is a multiplayer who plays both a side defender and a central midfielder. In the match against Ulsan, he showed strong activity and a sharp cross as a midfielder. He also helped Auberdan score with a superb left-footed cross in the seventh minute of the first half. 먹튀검증

Coach Park also said, "I want to evaluate that the team has a better option. Kim Dong-jin and Lee Chang-woo showed all their skills, which helped the team."
