"It's going to be a fun game." - Han Chan-hee said, "Just focus on this game."
Coach Park Tae-ha and Han Chan-hee shared their feelings ahead of the away match in Shanghai Shenhua.
Pohang Steelers will face Shanghai Shenhua in the first leg of the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) league stage of the 2024-25 season at Shanghai Stadium in Shanghai, China, at 9 p.m. on the 17th .
Pohang has been fiercely competing in the K-League. It was in the top spot at the beginning of the season, but recently fell into a slump and dropped to the mid-range. It is currently in sixth place, but we cannot rest assured. Pohang has 44 points and seventh-ranked Gwangju FC is closely trailing with 40 points. Meanwhile, Pohang now has to play ACLE at the same time.
Ahead of the game, head coach Park Tae-ha said, "Tomorrow is the first game of ACLE, and it will not be easy to play against Shanghai Shenhua, which has a history and tradition in the Super League, but I will do my best to get good results."
Pohang played an away game in Gwangju on the 13th and is preparing for an away game in Shanghai. Han Chan-hee said, "It is a tight schedule to play ACLE while playing the league, but I will focus on the Shanghai Shenhua match, which was given right in front of me, without paying attention to the previous game or the latter game."
Park Tae-ha took the helm of Pohang this season. Before coming to Pohang, he played soccer in China while serving as a coach. Park took the helm of Yanbian Fuder in 2015 and led the team until 2018.
Coach Park Tae-ha said, "I remember that Shanghai Shenhua is a very good team. It's a team that always maintains the lead, and I've watched the game all season, and they're a good team as I thought. We'll also try to produce good results tomorrow, and I think it'll be a fun game."
