Pohang Steelers Kim Seung-dae (32) conducted an unusually long interview.
Kim Seung-dae scored the winning goal in the home game against Suwon Samsung in the 9th round of the ‘Hanawon Q K League 1 2023’ held at Pohang Steel Yard on the 26th, leading the team to a 1-0 victory. With this, Pohang took 2nd place with 5 wins and 4 draws in 9 matches and continued their undefeated streak.
Kim Seung-dae shook the net with a half-volley shot without missing Suwon goalkeeper Yang Hyeong-mo’s mistake in the 4th minute of the first half. Coincidentally, the day was similar to Suwon, where coach Kim Ki-dong won his first victory after taking office at Pohang four years ago. Only the date was pushed back by a day, and in the 9th round, the opponent was Suwon and the weather was similar even in the rain. Even coach Kim said, “That’s why he put Seung-dae as the starting pitcher.”
Kim Seung-dae entered the press conference after the game and said, “I prepared with the mindset of winning at home. I am happy that I was able to keep my promise with the director. I tried to reproduce it as much as possible, but it came true and it is creepy.” What was different from then was the ceremony. Kim Seung-dae held a ceremony by putting his ball inside his uniform without running to the bench. Because her second birth is imminent. She is due to give birth in June. Kim Seung-dae said, “As a year-old, the second comes out. In his first, he scored a goal and failed to celebrate. This time, he promised to hold a ceremony for his wife, and he did it after thinking about it. He was sorry for the first, but wanted to leave (the ceremony) for the second,” he said.
After having a family, Kim Seung-dae also changed. Director Kim also explained that he had a lot of responsibility. Moreover, Kim Seung-dae is the captain of Pohang this season. Kim Seung-dae said, “I didn’t know the word ‘father’ at first, but it automatically gave me a sense of responsibility. If you look at your wife and daughter, yes. It’s more of a responsibility than a burden. It made me feel a lot more comfortable,” he admitted.
Kim Seung-dae says that he hears the most curses from director Kim. Kim Seung-dae said, “Actually, I don’t know why people are criticizing me, but I think it’s because I’m a captain. Everyone around me comforts me,” he laughed, “Even if the goalkeeper makes a mistake, I get cursed at. When the director calls, prepare and go. I think it’s a word to comfort me. The water level is high. I’m always listening and looking at (Kim) Junho” with a smile. 토토사이트
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the founding of Pohang. Moreover, 2013, exactly 10 years ago, was also the year Pohang achieved a double. At that time, Kim Seung-dae was a rookie. He said, “In fact, I didn’t think that he would be so undefeated and in the top ranks even in his first match. It’s our 50th anniversary this year, and we’ve created an atmosphere where we have to do something. It’s like paying a job every 10 years. I don’t know if the energy of 2013 is coming. I don’t think that kind of energy is helping us. I wonder if it will be more meaningful if I work. If you believe in your energy, wouldn’t it give you courage?” he said confidently.
still undefeated There are only two games left to go undefeated in the first round robin. Our next opponent is Incheon United. Incheon has Shin Jin-ho, who served as captain until last season. Kim Seung-dae said, “I think each other is playing for each other. It would be disappointing if we couldn’t go on a two-game undefeated streak. If we are going to do something, we talk about doing something big. If we don’t lose to the 1st round robin, they won’t see us easily from the 2nd round,” he said. You have to show who made the right choice and who is right. I have respect and respect, but I wonder if other players will also decide to live or die. (To the players) I will tell them to run until they get into the ambulance.”
