Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo, “The process was okay, but the result was disappointing.
Ulsan Hyundai coach Hong Myung-bo expressed deep disappointment in the draw against Daejeon Hana Citizen.
Ulsan gave up the first goal in the first minute in the 30th round of the Hana One Q K League 1 2023 against Daejeon held at Munsu Soccer Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 16th, but balanced the score with Joo Min-gyu’s penalty kick goal in the 29th minute of the first half. Afterwards, they launched a fierce attack, and Joo Min-gyu took the penalty kick taken by Lee Chung-yong in extra time in the second half, but was unable to hit the net, resulting in a 1-1 draw. They maintained the lead with 62 points, but have gone winless (2 draws, 1 loss) in the last 3 games.토토사이트
Coach Hong Myung-bo, who attended the official press conference after the game, said, “The players who came out today played their roles well. He has adapted well to his new role. “The overall preparation process was okay, but the results were a little disappointing.”
Ulsan, facing the aftermath of being selected to the national team A, attempted something new by drastically changing its lineup. Kim Seong-jun in midfield and Kim Ji-hyun in the front line took the field for the first time in a long time.
Coach Hong Myung-bo said, “Both players do their best every time they train. Self-management is good. “I think he will always do well whenever he gets the chance,” he said. “It’s been a while since Kim Seong-jun joined the team, and he was good at controlling offense and defense from the center. There was a physical strain in the second half. “Ji-Hyun Kim lacked detail, but I liked his movements and the way he destroyed his opponent,” he praised.
The second-place Pohang Steelers are closely following with a 6-point gap. Fans’ anxiety is rising due to past pain.
In response, Coach Hong Myung-bo said, “We are having difficulties because we were not able to score points in the second half. If we had had an overwhelming game like last season, the decision could have been made now. We don’t think it’s up to that level. There are still other games left and a head-to-head match (Pohang). He revealed that he was aware to some extent that it would have an impact at this time.
