Ulsan lost 1-3 in the final of the '2024 Hana Bank Korea Cup' held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 30th after extra-time bloodshed against the Pohang Steelers.
Ulsan led the game with Joo Min-kyu's first goal in the first half.
However, from the second half, the flow was taken away by exposing the decline in physical strength. After allowing an equalizer, he was dragged to extra time. In the second half of extra time, he was beaten by two goals and swallowed his disappointment.
Ulsan tried to win the trophy until the Korea Cup after winning its third consecutive K League 1 title, but bowed its head at the last minute. Ulsan won the unwelcome title of the most in this category with only four runner-ups at the Korea Cup (including the former FA Cup).
◇Answer and answer questions with director Kim Pan-gon.
-a general review of the game.
▶First, I apologize to Ulsan fans who came all the way to Seoul and cheered for me because I couldn't bring the results. Our players started well, but there were many accidents in the second half and they responded incorrectly. There were some last lost points, but I think the players tried hard. I will make up for the disappointment next year.
-How do you plan to prepare for the next season.
▶The domestic competition is over, but another ACLE match is left a few days later. I'll do that until the end and then I'll organize it. After five months of experience, I've figured out a lot of things. Next season, we will plan as soon as the match against Shanghai is over.
-I'm sorry for my injuries
▶I think I have an injury to my ribs. I hope it's not a big injury. I'll check as soon as I go down to Ulsan. Since then, some players have dislocated their shoulders, and something unthinkable has happened in the process of making two replacements within 15 minutes of the second half. The players who went in did a good job of coping. The last loss scene or the third goal was because we took the risk (we couldn't help it). It's a shame, but I'll take good care of it.

▶I think the game was good. I think I should have scored more, but if I do all that well, I think I will be a better team. The season is coming to an end, and ACLE lost the game with a very high share of possession. When he controlled and dominated the game, he allowed a lot in counterattacks. I'll analyze it more and supplement it.
-Eventually, there will be a story of aging.
▶I'll clean up after the Shanghai game.
-To the fans
▶It was a blue wave at the Korea Cup today. I received a lot of great support. We really think that we played well with the sufficient support of Ulsan fans and we are so sorry. I know the importance of the East Coast Derby. You must have been disappointed that you wanted to win, but you didn't get the result like that, but based on this, I will try to make sure to hold the cup in next year's competition.
