“Another theater goal,” Pohang Ha Chang-rae said, “Unfortunately, it’s the same as the last game, so I’m amazed and proud.”
Pohang drew 2-2 in an away match against FC Seoul in the 25th round of the Hana One Q K League 1 2023 at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 4th.
When Pohang was trailing 1-2, Ha Chang-rae scored a dramatic header equalizer in the extra time of the second half.
With Ha Chang-rae’s shot, Pohang (45 points) in second place maintained a seven-point gap with Seoul (38 points) in third place. The two teams have drawn in all three matches this year.
“I haven’t beaten Seoul for a few games, but it’s positive that I haven’t lost,” Ha Chang-rae said at a press conference after the match. “I will definitely win and repay my fans with the results in the future.”
Following the match against Seoul (1-1 draw) at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on June 11, Ha Chang-rae became the main character of the so-called “theater goal.”
At that time, he led a 1-1 draw with a header in the 45th minute of the second half when he was being dragged 0-1, and on the same day, he also scored a goal with his head in the extra time of the second half.
Ha Chang-rae said, “Unfortunately, I kicked the captain as (Kim) Seung-dae went out, and it was the same time that I scored a goal at the end of the game,” adding, “At that moment, the last game passed by.” I’m amazed and proud,” he said with a smile.
Ha Chang-rae was also regrettable in terms of play, as he was sent off twice directly this season. However, Pohang coach Kim Ki-dong continued his faith and got the results by starting Ha Chang-rae.
“It was my first time being sent off directly twice after coming to the pro,” he said adding, “I went to the director’s room and communicated about showing a bad side.” The coach must have been worried about starting the game, but I’m very grateful that he believed in it. “It was good to be able to repay the faith as a result,” he said. 토토
Pohang’s center back Ha Chang-rae, who is running in second place, also expressed his unique pride of “Pohang,” which does not collapse easily.
He said, “I’m not trying to live a social life, but the coach’s soccer style is clear,” adding, “After this year, some players will be able to go out and come in, but Pohang’s unique color will not change.”
