Pohang Steelers falter at the start of the season.

Pohang, led by head coach Park Tae-ha, was on a rollercoaster ride last season. The team won a dramatic victory to the extent that it was nicknamed "Taeha Drama" and competed for the top spot. However, it lost six consecutive games for the first time since the foundation of the team, and suffered poor performance in the final round to finish sixth in the league. It beat Ulsan HD at the Korea Cup to achieve its second consecutive win and the best finish.

However, the team has shown sluggish performance this season without much change. Pohang lost two AFC Champions League (ACLE) league matches and two league matches. Most of all, it has lost more points. It has 14 goals in all four games. It has never lost a single point. Notably, it gave up four goals to Kawasaki Frontale and five to Johor Darlle Takjim of Malaysia, which made it to its knees.

Pohang is the only team that lost two games in the league. The entire defense lineup is shaky. At the match against Gangwon Province, the team had a 1-0 lead, but conceded two goals at the end of the second half to kneel down.

Last season, Lee Dong-hee and Jeon Min-kwang played as the main defenders and showed better-than-expected performance. However, the team was shaken after Lee Dong-hee left the team due to a collarbone injury. Aspro and Choi Gyu-baek alternated as Jeon's partners, but they were not satisfied.

Again this season, Aspro was sent off due to accumulated warnings in the 42nd minute of the first half against Kawasaki, and has not been able to play since then. Lee Dong-hee said, "Perhaps due to a long hiatus, it is not as good as it was in the last season. As a result, mistakes that need not be made are repeated over and over again.

The same goes for the goalkeepers. Pohang has two players, Hwang and Yoon Pyeong-guk. Yoon gained free agent status last season but stayed at Pohang. Hwang was seen shaking rapidly after serving as the starting goalkeeper last season. I feel somewhat uneasy this season as well. Yoon also failed to prevent his team's complete defeat due to a series of mistakes in the match against Johor. 안전놀이터

Though hidden by defense, the team hardly seems to be able to break through even in offense. It had two goals at the match against Johor and one goal at the match against Gangwon. It has three goals in four matches. Even so, one goal is a set piece goal. In four matches, the team has only two field goals. Pohang will invite Daegu FC, which has won its opening two consecutive games, to its home ground on March 1. For now, it must win to escape from its fourth consecutive defeat in official matches. If it fails to do so, the team may fall into a deeper hole early in the season.
