I didn't even know where the college was."

Jung Jae-hee scored her third goal in the league and the final goal of the game in the sixth round of the Hana Bank K League 1 match against Daejeon Hana Citizen at 4:30 p.m. on the 7th at Daejeon World Cup Stadium. Driven by Jung Jae-hee's dramatic score, Pohang regained the lead with a 2-1 victory in the away match against Daejeon, beating Gimcheon Sangmu and Ulsan HD.

Speaking to reporters at the mixed zone after the match, Jeong Jae-hee said, "I am playing hard until the end. I think I am lucky." When asked to score the most dramatic score this season, he replied, "The most dramatic was against Gwangju. The match against Gwangju was very meaningful in that he scored a goal in his return match after injury."

Amid continued theater goals, Pohang fans' expectations soar when the ball goes to Jung Jae-hee at the end of the second half. "I'm happy that I can score a goal, but I don't think I have that sense. I delivered the ball to (Kim) Ryun-sung again today, and I thought Ryu would cross right away, so I penetrated quickly," Jung said. "The ball came to me just in time. I think I smell a bit of a goal. Honestly, I didn't know where the goal was when I was shooting. But I saw it going in."

Having failed to play many games due to a major injury last season, Chung got off to a good start by improving her physical condition in the early stages. However, she said she is not in the best condition yet as she is not fully fit. "I am not in a bad condition. I just don't think I am in the best condition. I have to take care of myself constantly and be careful for the time being," Chung said.

Jung Jae-hee, who has continued to score from the beginning of the season, is now tied for fifth in scoring with three goals in the league. Jung has never scored in double digits in the league since joining the professional league. He scored eight goals for FC Anyang in the 2017 season, and seven goals in the 2022 season, his first season in Pohang, are career-high in the K League 1. Expectations for a career-high season are growing day by day, showing a sense of goal this season.

"I don't want to think about double digit scoring. My hamstring condition is not 100 percent. Every time I enter a game, I reflect on something. I play with the hope that I will do well without getting injured. I will play with that thought for a while because the result was good," he said.

In Pohang, where Kim Ki-dong left after last season, Park Tae-ha took the helm. Amid the big changes, Pohang's early moves are drawing a lot of attention. Coach Park Tae-ha, who took charge of Pohang, quickly reorganized the team and maintained Pohang's existing strength. It rose to the highest place in the ranking table with 13 points (4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss) in the first five games of the season.

Regarding Pohang's ranking, Jung Jae-hee said, "Honestly, we didn't think it would work this well either. As I see the soccer we prepared working on the field, I am gaining confidence. I have a strong belief that it will work out (in the future)."

When asked about the difference between Kim Ki-dong and Park Tae-ha, he said, "I think the styles are very different. It's a bit ambiguous to put it into words. Coach Kim Ki-dong exercised more than others," adding, "Coach Park Tae-ha is kind. However, he speaks strongly on the field." Regarding his role under the two coaches, he said, "Now he has wide open sides, but under Kim Ki-dong, he came inside and took organic movements. They are similar but slightly different. Still, I think there is a framework for Pohang soccer."

Coincidentally, Pohang's next opponent will be Kim Ki-dong's FC Seoul. Jung Jae-hee said, "We're going to play soccer that we're good at. I hope we don't lose. I'm a former coach, but I have to win because my team is No. 1. I hope that we and Seoul will play fun soccer together," aiming for three points against Kim Ki-dong.
