He took the lead with 60 points. Coach Hong Myung-bo, who held an official press conference after the match, said, “I’m happy to win in front of a large crowd. I felt sorry for the fans for not getting results in the last few games, but I won against a strong team. The players prepared well for a week. Today’s victory is a victory for fans and players,” he said with a smile. 토토
As head coach Hong Myung-bo emphasized, Ulsan players were mentally armed. None of the plays that are being made, as well as minor ball fights and war of nerves, have been pushed back. In particular, the players adapted well to the three-back. Rubik’s hand came down to the left defense and added strength. Head coach Hong Myung-bo said, “I didn’t use this tactic much, but it was good every time I operated it,” and added, “I don’t like to change it completely just because the tactics I used before were not good.” The minimum preparation period is needed, and the players’ consensus should be formed. Understanding tactics should be supported here. It was Plan B, which I had been preparing since the break of the All-Star Game. The players followed well. “I understood and carried it out well until the end,” he said, expressing satisfaction.
The replacement card was exquisitely fitted. Coach Hong Myung-bo put in Lee Chung-yong in the 25th minute of the second half. One minute later, Lee Chung-yong put on defenders and made a penetration pass to the front. After Um Won-sang broke through, he beat the goalkeeper and scored. Director Hong Myung-bo said, “Um Won-sang is not in perfect physical condition. I suffered a fatal injury after playing for the national team. I’m doing rehabilitation and trying to find a good condition. What I prepared came out as a good scene. “I hope our team will not feel too much pressure and will play in good condition in important games to be held in the future,” he said.
On this day, Ulsan had 30,756 people (9,814 spectators wearing uniforms 31,6%), the largest number of spectators this season. Fans cheered the players with enthusiastic shouts and applause throughout the game. When Ulsan’s victory was confirmed, they sang “Goodbye” together. In response, head coach Hong Myung-bo said, “The atmosphere is the best than any other team I have played for.” Both Ulsan fans and players spend 90 minutes enjoying this atmosphere. Ulsan fans are enjoying the best support and soccer in Korea. “I’m truly grateful to my fans,” he said, adding a thumbs up.
