Ulsan HD, which has lost its pride, is running again. Ulsan, led by head coach Kim Pan-gon, will play the third round of the Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) league stage in the 2024-2025 season against Vissel Kobe (Japan) at Ulsan Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 23rd.
Ulsan entered the ACL stage as the K League 1 champion last year. However, his early performance is not very good. He lost 0-1 to Kawasaki Frontale (Japan) at home on the 18th of last month. In an away game against Yokohama Marinos (Japan) on the 2nd, he suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat. He bowed his head in a scoreless silence for two consecutive games.
His opponent is Vissel Kobe. Coincidentally, they will have a `mini-Korea-Japan' match against the Japanese team for the third consecutive time. Kobe is in second place in the J-League. He also recorded one win and one draw in ACLE.
Ulsan is determined to revive its happy memories four years ago. Ulsan met Vissel Kobe in the ACL semifinals on December 13, 2020, and won 2-1 after extra-time blood. At that time, Ulsan had 10 undefeated matches (9 wins and 1 draw) and reached the top of Asia for the first time in eight years since 2012.
Ulsan takes advantage of some rotations in a tight schedule. Yago will be the front-line striker. The midfield is coordinated by Jang Si-young, Ataru, and Giorgi Arabidze. Lee Kyu-sung and Jung Woo-young will play as a double volanche. Shim Sang-min's deathbed is handled by Hwang Seok-ho and Yoon Il-rok. Cho Hyun-woo protects the goal.
