If Ulsan Hyundai adds ‘only one win’, it will decorate a page in the history of the K-League.
On the 16th at 4:30 pm at the Daejeon World Cup Stadium, Ulsan will go on an expedition against Daejeon Hana Citizen, who are in fourth place, and Hana One Q K League 1 2023 Round 7.
This season, Ulsan is driving a blue wave in the K-League. Starting with the 2-1 come-from-behind victory against Jeonbuk Hyundai on February 25, Gangwon FC (1-0), FC Seoul (2-1), Suwon FC (3-0), Jeju United (3-1), Suwon Samsung (2 to 1) in a row, and is running at the sole lead with 6 consecutive wins.
Already, Ulsan wrote ‘club history’ 바카라사이트with 4 consecutive wins after the first opening against Suwon FC on the 19th of last month. Now, he has put out a challenge to break the 20-year-old record in the K-League. If they win this Daejeon expedition, they will rise to the top of the ‘7 consecutive wins’, the most since the opening. It stands shoulder to shoulder with Suwon (1998) and Seongnam (2003). Afterwards, if they catch East Coast rival Pohang Steelers (4:30 p.m. on the 22nd) at home, they will make a mark in the history of the K-League.
The atmosphere is top notch. Ulsan scored a total of 13 goals in 6 games and conceded only 4 runs. Daejeon currently ranks first with 14 goals, but Ulsan is determined to show better firepower as the defending champion in this match.
You don’t know when and where it will explode, and the even score distribution is one of Ulsan’s strengths. Sweden’s ‘Oxygen Tank’ Rubiksson is recording the most offensive points with 4 goals and 1 assist. On the 8th, in front of Suwon, he showed a high level of concentration and scored 2 goals. All four shots were linked to effective shooting, and he continued to shake the opponent with his unique amount of activity and linked play. It was also selected as the best 11 in the 6th round selected by the Korea Professional Football Federation.
Joo Min-gyu, who is in charge of the front line, scored 3 goals and 1 assist, Won-sang Um, ‘Um Sala’, scored 2 goals and 2 assists, and defender Seol Young-woo, who is active on the left and right sides with perfect scores, scored 1 goal and 1 assist. raised Lee Chung-yong (1 goal), Jeong Seung-hyun (1 goal), Kang Yoon-gu (1 goal), Park Yong-woo (1 assist), and Kim Min-hyuk (1 assist) added to the offensive point matrix.
The defense is the best in the league. In particular, the performance of Jo Hyun-woo, the national team’s goalkeeper, is dazzling. In the match against Suwon, he blocked 7 out of 8 effective shots, including the opponent’s penalty kick, and gave 3 points. Coach Hong Myung-bo kept the last line firmly enough to give the victory credit.
Ulsan will face Daejeon in the K League 1 for the first time in eight years since the away game on October 4, 2015 (0-0 draw). They have the upper hand with 32 wins, 17 draws and 11 losses.
Captain Jeong Seung-hyun, who played the ground 8 years ago, expressed his determination to play, saying, “I will show you what kind of team is the K-League winning team against Daejeon, which we will meet again in 8 years.”
Ulsan plans to come back with 3 points with the same mindset and attitude, not being vigilant as coach Hong Myung-bo always emphasizes. The opponent has been promoted this season and is causing a sensation with 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, but the goal is to prove that it is just a stream of water in front of the strong blue waves of Ulsan.
