Ulsan HD coach Kim Pan-gon, who is trying to win his first consecutive game, and Suwon FC coach Kim Eun-joong, who is trying to escape the losing streak, were also desperate.

Ulsan will play Suwon FC in the 27th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Munsu Football Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 18th. Ulsan is in third place with 13 wins, 6 draws and 7 losses and 45 points. The second-ranked Gimcheon Sangmu (46 points) and the fourth-ranked Pohang Steelers (44 points) both lost this round. At the same time, No. 1 Gangwon FC, which collides with Gwangju FC, has 47 points. Ulsan can regain the lead in the result.

Coach Kim Pan-gon made his first appearance in the match against Daegu FC on the 10th and started neatly with a 1-0 victory. He said "Today's game is worth everything. You have to go ahead and say you deserve to win"You have to increase your chances of winning as much as possible. You have to be more determined at a good time. Whether you eat or not depends on your passion and desire."

Coach Kim Pan-gon also changed the way he won ." The match against Daegu was well deserved to win. 1-0 was a humbling victory. Winning 3-0 and 4-0 will maximize what you have prepared and maximize the joy of fans. Still, I complimented the players for doing well," he added.

Coach Kim Pan-gon takes out a 4-1-4-1 card. With Joo Min-gyu on the one-top, Jang Si-young, Boyanichi, Lee Kyu-sung and Kim Min-joon are located at the second line. Won Doo-jae will stand as a defensive midfielder, and Kim Min-woo, Kim Young-kwon, Hwang Seok-ho and Yoon Il-rok will breathe in the four-back. Cho Hyun-woo protects the goal.

Manager Kim Pan-gon said, `We changed seven players compared to the last game. No matter who goes in, you have to play the soccer you want. If you don't entertain, it's not worth it."

Suwon FC suffered a lot of bleeding in the summer market. Lee Seung-woo and Kwon Kyung-won, the signs of the offense and defense, left. He is currently in a two-game losing streak. The ranking also dropped to sixth place (41 points).

Suwon FC head coach Kim Eun-joong will counter with a 4-2-3-1 system. Jung Seung-bae is the one-top, and Andersson and Kang Sang-yoon and Jung Seung-won are located right underneath. In the midfield, Lee Jae-won and Son Joon-ho play the role of a bridge between offense and defense. Park Chul-woo, Jackson, and Choi Kyu-baek will be lined up in the four-back, and Ahn Jun-su will wear goalie gloves.

Director Kim Eun-joong will do as he has done. There are also injuries and limited resources available. Players know it's an important game, too. You have to concentrate and play", he explained.

As for the faltering 6th round "It's most regrettable that we haven't reinforced it. It's something we can't solve. The bottom teams won yesterday, but it's a difference of desperation. We put everything into one game, one game. The players are doing their best. I said, "Let's do our best as we prepared today."
