Leading Ulsan HD and second-ranked Gangwon FC will play the third round of the final round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024' at Ulsan Stadium at 7:30 p.m. on the 1st. Ulsan has 65 points and Gangwon has 61 points. The difference between the two teams is four points.
If Ulsan wins, the gap will be widened to seven points, confirming the championship for the third consecutive year, symbolizing the 'sports dynasty' regardless of the results of the remaining two games. On the other hand, if Gangwon laughs, the difference in points will be reduced to one point. The competition between the two teams for the championship continues until the end. If Gangwon wins a miracle, it will build the first gold tower in K League 1 history as a provincial team.
There was a sense of tension. Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon said, `We prepared well. There is no reason to bear the burden on your own. He said, "I'm in a very good condition, and I'll make a habit of winning at home as I usually do." He said, "Let's focus a little more than usual, fight hard, and be decisive." They are experienced players. I won the championship twice. Everyone has experience with the national team and overseas."
As for the outcome "I try hard to score 15 minutes before the first half. I don't like to take the game behind me. We have to make a habit of winning in the first half."
It is raining autumn in Ulsan. Director Kim said, `It will be a little bit of a variable. We need to prepare for technical problems. When I watched the last two games in Gangwon, it created a situation where they waited solidly in the middle block and beat them. Gangwon has an advantage in that area. In line with this situation, we talked about plans that make Gangwon difficult and rehearsed. I hope it works well."
Ulsan has a nightmare at Ulsan Sports Complex in 2019. In the final match of the K League 1, he lost to the Pohang Steelers 1-4 in a match that could be tied, presenting the trophy to rival Jeonbuk Hyundai in front of him. This is why it was labeled 'second place for many years'. Coincidentally, it rained that day, too.
Director Kim said, `It's a story I don't know very well. If you think about that, you're putting your luggage on your own. You don't have to think about it"It is historically a different member, a different team, a new member, a new team. Today is a new day, a new game, and tomorrow is a new history. The wrong thing went by yesterday. Today, I will fight to create a new history.'
Gangwon coach Yoon Jung-hwan said, "Ulsan, which is good for provocations, is a dark past. He said "Ulsan has pain here. I wonder if that nightmare will come back. I have such expectations," he said with a meaningful smile.
And "I told the players to trust each other and do well as we prepared." I talked to the players so that they could feel comfortable"Ulsan is that good, so I think he can try to win three consecutive games. Gangwon has done a great job just by coming this far. But today's game is 50-50. Football is unknown. You have to try it."
The stadium was changed due to the maintenance of the ground at Munsu Football Stadium, which is home. Director Yoon said, `There is no big burden. I think Ulsan will be less focused than us because there are things that they did in Munsu"And yet there are variables on rainy days. Which team responds to the variables. There could also be injuries. We have to prepare for various situations."
`High Winger' Yang Min-hyuk has scored three goals and one assist in the last five games, drawing a steep upward curve. Coach Yoon said, `I'm born with something when it comes to physicality. No matter how much you stand by, you don't feed them. At first, he seemed nervous, but he grew physically as he played. He's getting stronger by weight trading and reinforcement training If you're not born with it, it doesn't happen. I can't believe I'm a high school senior. I am often surprised, too," he added.
