In an official interview before the match, manager Hong said, “Seoul and us are in the same position. In the previous game, Seoul consumed a lot of energy in the Super Match.” He added, “I think about the speed of recovery, I sent out new players, some players who were physically fit.”
League leaders Ulsan (36 points) lost to Jeonbuk 1-3 at home on the 19th. Hyundai needed a win in the derby, but Kunimoto, Jeonbuk, fell to their knees.
Manager Hong said, “I keep holding the ball and then the attack is cut off, so I conceded,” and “I shared that part with the players.” “Today’s match must end with zero goals,” he said, emphasizing victory.
Ulsan haven’t lost against Seoul since October 2017. Ulsan, which is undefeated in 13 matches (10 wins and 3 draws) in their opponent’s record, challenges Seoul to change the atmosphere.
