Go Yeong-jun (21, Pohang Steelers) showed off his presence to the fullest in the ‘East Coast Derby’. He shook the net with his left and right feet, respectively, and exploded multiple goals.
Pohang drew 2-2 with Ulsan Hyundai held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 22nd at 4:30 pm in the ‘East Coast Derby’ in the 8th round of ‘Hanawon Q K League 1 2023’. The only undefeated team this season continued its momentum.
Director Kim Ki-dong slightly announced preparations for the East Coast Derby, saying, “Ulsan has well grasped the weaknesses that Ulsan has shown so far,” at a meeting with reporters before the match. When asked what kind of shortcoming he had, he gave a characteristic witty answer, saying, “Everyone has seen a lot of games, so don’t you know?”
When I asked manager Hong Myung-bo about preparing for the East Coast Derby, he said, “Pohang will aim for the space behind us,” but when I opened the lid, I got it right. Pohang added a sharp counter attack to its solid defense. It was to prevent Ulsan from doing well and aim for a shot.
Ulsan increased possession of the ball, but Pohang looked for an opportunity. The resource who took the period was Go Young-jun. In the 15th minute of the first half, Ulsan’s shaken one was scored. Jung Seung-hyun and Seol Young-woo stepped back and calmly pushed the ball with their left foot without missing the gap where the offside line was broken.
Afterwards, I used a defensive formation close to a five-back, but the counterattack was quite sharp. Ko Young-jun broke the empty space of Pohang, dug in, and shook it.
In the 9th minute of the second half, he received a pass from Zeca and solved it outside the box. In the Ulsan defense, Ko Young-Jun caught the ball and blocked the shooting path, but Ko Young-Jun did not hesitate to put it into the goal. The first goal was line-breaking, and the second goal shook Ulsan with individual skills.
Pohang’s existing line breaker was Kim Seung-dae, who started with the East Coast Derby. Koh Young-jun was as sharp as Kim Seung-dae in the past and had a lot of activity. He surpassed the U-22 resource and made a big success as one of Pohang’s next key players.
Pohang took the lead thanks to Ko Young-Jun’s great performance, but failed to bring home 3 points. While gaining momentum, he conceded a point to Bakko and had to be satisfied with one point. 먹튀검증
