The Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium is hot.

Coach Hong Myung-bo was appointed as the head coach of the Korean national soccer A team. It is the first comeback in 10 years since the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. On the other hand, there is not much time left to say goodbye to Ulsan, which presented the 2022 and 2023 championships.

Coach Hong will lead the 22nd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' against Gwangju FC at 7:30 p.m. on the 10th at Munsu Football Stadium. Unlike outside a noisy stadium, the ground is calm.



Coach Hong told the squad on the 8th that he became the coach of the A national team. It is said that there was no big agitation as the players predicted. Hong delivered a message to the players, saying, `Let's do our best until the end.' Coach Hong is in a position to fulfill his duties until the point of leaving.

Ulsan has no time to shake. I haven't won the last two games. After losing 1-2 to the East Coast rival Pohang Steelers, they tied 1-1 with Suwon FC, which had won nine consecutive games.



It is ranked second (39 points) after Gimcheon Sangmu (40 points), who played one more game. Gimcheon lost to Suwon FC 2-3 the day before. If Ulsan wins against Gwangju, it can regain the lead.

However, although Gwangju ranks eighth with 25 points, it is not an easy match for Ulsan. Gwangju has won three consecutive games against Ulsan. Gwangju also won the first meeting of the season on May 15 with a 2-1 victory. Gwangju, which has two wins and three losses in the last five games, is also busy.



Coach Hong takes out a 4-2-3-1 card. Kim Min-woo, Kim Min-hyuk, and Kang Yoon-gu are located at the second line, with Joo Min-kyu at the one-top. Lee Kyu-sung and Boyanich will breathe in defensive midfielders, while Lee Myung-jae, Kim Ki-hee and Im Jong-eun will line up in four backs. Cho Hyun-woo protects the goal.

On the 9th, Ulsan announced the recruitment of national midfielder Jung Woo-young and Yago, who played in Gangwon Province. Jung Woo-young was included in the entry as a replacement member, while Yago was excluded from the list because the registration process was not completed.

Gwangju coach Lee Jung-hyo signaled a change. Gabriel Lee Kun-hee, Choi Kyung-rok, Moon Min-seo, Jung Ho-yeon, Ahn Hyuk-joo, Doo Hyun-suk, Ahn Young-gyu, Heo Yul, Lee Sang-ki, and Kim Kyung-min set up the best 11.
