“The loss was caused by the sudden collapse after the first loss.”
The Pohang Steelers, led by head coach Park Tae-ha, lost 1-4 in the first round against Shanghai Shenhua (China), the 2024-2025 Asian Football Confederation Champions League Elite (ACLE) league stage, at Shanghai Stadium in Shanghai, China on the 17th (Korea time).
Pohang knocked on Shanghai Shenhua throughout the first half. However, luck did not come with it. It hit the post twice and failed to take advantage of the opportunity it had visited. Fortunately, Giorgi scored the first goal eight minutes into the second half to take the lead. However, that was it. 먹튀검증
Andre Luiz scored an equalizer in the 19th minute of the second half, and Mallet scored an upset goal in the 26th minute. Kim In-sung’s handball foul allowed a penalty kick in the 37th minute of the second half, widening the gap. Two minutes later, he even gave up the net to Gao Tian. He gave up a whopping four goals in 20 minutes, collapsing the defense line.
“At the beginning of the game, we suppressed Sun Hwa’s attack by pressing forward as we had prepared. I think he dominated the game until his first loss. Since then, he had empirical and systematic problems, and I think the loss was due to the sudden collapse after the first loss,” Park said after the game.
Pohang gave young players opportunities through some rotations, but failed to get the results in the end. “I think some of the players were very nervous because they had no experience. As a result, I got cramps early in the day, and it resulted in the collapse of the organization,” coach Park said.
