Ulsan will play the 32nd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' against Daejeon Hana Citizen at 7:30 p.m. on the 27th at Daejeon World Cup Stadium. Ulsan, which has 16 wins, 7 draws, and 8 losses, is in the lead with 55 points. There are only two points difference from the second-place Gimcheon Sangmu (53 points). If there are mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, they should give up the lead again.
That's why I desperately need three points. Ulsan drew 0-0 away against Incheon United in the last round. The total number of shots was 12 to 5, the effective shot was 3 to 0, and the possession rate was 68 to 32, which was overwhelming, but it failed to shake the opponent's net. Ulsan had to be satisfied with one point, but it has not lost in four consecutive K-League games (3 wins and 1 draw).
Ulsan is struggling in a tight schedule leading to weekdays and weekends. Starting with the away match in Daejeon, they will have the second leg of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) League Stage in the 2024-2025 season against Yokohama Marinos at Yokohama International Stadium at 7 p.m. on October 2, and the final match of the 33rd round of the K League 1 against Gimcheon at Munsu Football Stadium at 3 p.m. on the 6th. The goal is to stage an all-out war and mark the A-match break in October as No. 1 in the league with three consecutive wins.
You have to get the first button right. For Ulsan, Daejeon is a tricky opponent. He has an overwhelming advantage with 33 wins, 19 draws, and 13 losses in all history, but lost 0-2 on the road on April 2. On May 25, Kim Min-woo, Rubik'sson (2 goals), and Joo Min-kyu scored consecutive goals at home and succeeded in turning the game around with a 4-1 victory.
Daejeon is currently in a fierce battle for the relegation zone in ninth place, which is expected to cause strong resistance. Ulsan is determined to use players in the best condition and make the team win with 'one team'.
Joo Min-kyu, who has eight goals and four assists in the K-League this season, is in desperate need of a scoring shot. Joo Min-gyu took the ground in place of Yago in the 32nd minute of the second half in an away match against Incheon in the 31st round. He made a fierce move at the opponent's gate, but his luck did not follow, as his shot went off the post by a short distance. He has been silent for more than two months since scoring against FC Seoul on July 13. If the resident regulation breaks out, Ulsan is expected to have three points in its hands.
After the match against Incheon, Joo Min-kyu said "I know my scoring pace is disappointing. Just looking back on my current play and doing my best. Thank you and sorry to the fans who are supporting us," vowing to turn the tables.
