Ulsan HD ended the FIFA Club World Cup in 2025 with all three losses. Ulsan lost 0-1 in the final Group F match against German powerhouse Borussia Dortmund at TQL Stadium in Cincinnati, Ohio on the 26th (Korea time).
It was rather fortunate that he lost by one goal thanks to Cho Hyun-woo, the goalkeeper of 'Number 1'. The number of shots in the first half was 0-20. Ulsan didn't score a single shot in the first half. The total number of shots in the game was 3 to 28, and the number of effective shots was absolutely inferior to 3 to 9.
Ulsan, which lost 0-1 to South Africa's Mamelodi Sundaus in the first game, was dragged 0-1 in the second game against Brazil's prestigious Pluminensei and succeeded in turning the tables, but failed to withstand the last. I fell to my knees two to four.
In the match against Dortmund, Um Won-sang was absent due to a left shoulder injury, and the attack also strengthened? 獰駭? Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon said, `I think I apologize as the manager for the failure to score points in this Club World Cup"And yet we should be proud that our club can come out here." It's a privilege. Don't be too disappointed, and I hope it will be an opportunity for the whole to see the future and grow."

-How do you feel about this competition.
▶I would like to apologize as a coach for not being able to score points in this Club World Cup. Thank you to the player who did his best in the last three games. I'm also grateful to the fans for their early support. As I participated in this competition, I wondered how much power difference there would be with the world. It was confirmed that there was still a gap. I think it was a good learning in preparing for such a big competition not only in terms of technology but also in the power enhancement part. He also strengthened his new tactics through a short period of camp. A new player came in, too. As a team, it will help us to pursue it in the future. We should be proud that our club can come out here. It's a privilege. Don't be too disappointed, and I hope the whole thing will be an opportunity to see the future and grow.
-Compared to the game plan prepared, there was nothing wrong with the first half.
▶In fact, I think it was physically more difficult than we thought. I didn't do it at the opportunity to put more pressure on it. I think it was a matter of stamina. That should be improved. It is positive that he showed a little good performance in the second half. I hope it will be an opportunity to learn more through this.
-If the K-League is to have more international competitiveness.
▶There are still many differences. When I came to the United States, I think I am far behind in infrastructure. And the tempo of the game also needs a little better tempo in the league. We also have to play under more pressure. Externally, to compete better in such a big competition, high-quality foreign players must come in and help the team. That way, we can strengthen the league. Quality needs to be developed as a whole.
-When I go back to Korea, I have a schedule immediately such as the Korea Cup.
▶What I'm worried about in the future has become a physically difficult situation as I play one game every four days in the heat during the Club World Cup. The key is how quickly and how much you recover after going back. I expect difficulties to come. We will do our best to help the players recover quickly, but we have to recover mentally as well as physically quickly on our own. We need to bring good results in the upcoming schedule, so we need to focus on recovery. I will take time to endure the difficulties.
