Coach Hong Myung-bo, Won the First Game

Coach Hong Myung-bo, Who Won the First Game of the Season, said, “I did More than I Prepared”



Regarding Seol Young-woo of 'Table Tennis Gate', "Unconfirmed details... will show the high moral character of the national team."

“It wasn’t a perfect situation, but the players did more than we prepared for.”

Ulsan HD, led by coach Hong Myung-bo, was defeated by Min-gyu Joo in the first leg of the round of 16 of the 2023-2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League held at Munsu Football Stadium in Ulsan on the 15th.

Seol Young-woo's key goal added to the multiple goals resulted in a 3-0 win over Kohu.

While the ACL is being played on a spring system starting from this tournament, based on the domestic professional soccer schedule, today's game is Ulsan's first official game of the year.

Built-in center back Jeong Seung-hyun transferred to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) league, and veteran center back Kim Young-kwon was unable to start today due to the aftermath of participation in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup.

In addition, there were many players who wore the new Ulsan uniform, such as Hwang Seok-ho, Ko Seung-beom, and Kim Min-woo.

Coach Hong Myung-bo gave credit to the players, saying, "It wasn't a perfect situation, but the players did more than we could prepare for.

There were some players I worked with for the first time today, and I think they prepared well overall."

He continued, “We played with three backs to create stability in the beginning, but after about 15 minutes, it felt like we were in a rhythm.

We scored in the first half, so we were able to win easily.”

On this day, attention was focused on right defender Seol Young-woo.

He expressed his intention to advance to Europe ahead of this season, but ended up staying in Ulsan.

He also participated in the Asian Cup with Kim Young-kwon as a member of the national team, and his name is currently being mentioned in the 'Table Tennis Gate' that is shaking up the soccer world.

Coach Hong said, "I don't have anything to say because it hasn't been confirmed yet (whether he is involved), but since I am now a national team player, I think I have to go with higher ethics and thoughts than before."

He said, "Seol Young-woo is still a young player, and this is his first time playing for the national team.

If he lives like he does now in Ulsan, I think he will do well as a national team player."

Seol Young-woo complained of great pain in his right shoulder after falling in extra time in the second half of the day, which made Coach Hong worry.

Fortunately, it was a chronic shoulder strain and not a serious injury.

Coach Hong said, "Seol Young-woo has a chronic shoulder problem.

At some point, he needs to have surgery to solve the problem, but he missed the timing (this season)."
