'Joong-gyu Derby'Joong-gyu starts from the bench.

Joo Min-kyu visited his home team for the first time after moving the nest from Ulsan HD to Daejeon Hana Citizen. Ulsan will play Daejeon at 7:30 p.m. on the 1st at Munsu Football Stadium in the early 18th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025'. The match was scheduled to be held on June 15 in accordance with Ulsan's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup.

Daejeon manager Hwang Sun-hong decided to save the residents' rules. Regarding the exclusion of Joo Min-gyu from the starting line-up ahead of the game, he said, `A striker should make use of his flow and sense of goal. I considered various things with my opponent" he said.




Joo Min-kyu scored five goals in five games before the A-match break in March. He was called up to the Hong Myung-bo team and was listed as a replacement member for the Ulsan match following the Gwangju FC match held three days ago. It is Hwang's consideration to remove the burden.

The two teams have already met once this season. They collided at Daejeon World Cup Stadium on February 23. Ulsan reported its first win of the season by overpowering Daejeon 2-0 with consecutive goals by Yoon Jae-seok and Heo Yul. It was Daejeon's only defeat this season.

Coach Hwang said, `The last match against Ulsan was a tactical loss. Wing forward is isolated. It's not easy when the flow goes over. We will approach it differently today."




Currently, Daejeon is the number one place. There are 13 points (4 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss). Ulsan, which is trying to win its fourth consecutive K League 1 title, remains in fourth place (10 points, 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 losses). If Daejeon wins, we can take a step ahead. If Ulsan wins, the points will be the same.

Ulsan lost 0-1 against the Pohang Steelers three days ago, ending its last four consecutive games (3 wins and 1 draw). Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon said, `We need to change the atmosphere. There are too many pass misses and kick mistakes. It is respectful that Daejeon is the first place. However, let's do what we do well to the players, and let's not let the opponent breathe. The players will do well."

Eric, who was ambitiously recruited, will be on the one-top for the first time. Director Kim said, `One-top is also good. Since the next game is in Seoul, it is burdensome to take out all the two-top. It's time to find a combination" "He said that the match was behind 1-1 in the last game. That's the aspect of putting Gutec in. We have to win the game unconditionally."




Coach Kim brings up the 4-2-3-1 system. With Eric in the one-top position, Lee Hee-kyun, Rakaba and Yoon Jae-seok are in the second line. Lee Jin-hyun and Ko Seung-beom are defensive midfielders and play a role as a bridge between offense and defense. Park Min-seo, Lee Jae-ik, Seo Myung-kwan, and Yoon Jong-kyu are lined up in the four-back, and Cho Hyun-woo protects the goal.

Hwang counters with a 3-4-3 card. Kim Hyun-wook, Gutech, and Yoon Do-young are in the three-top, while Shin Sang-eun, Kim Joon-beom, Lim Deok-geun and Kang Yoon-sung are in the midfield. Park Kyu-hyun, Anton, and Im Jong-eun will be in charge of the three-back, while Lee Chang-geun will wear the goalkeeper's gloves.
