[Charlott (USA) = Sports Chosun Reporter Kim Sung-won] I'm half excited and half excited. D-Day is on the horizon. Kim Pan-gon, manager of Ulsan HD, said, "It is currently 80 percent." The picture is that he will fill 20% more to play in the first game.
On the 13th (Korea time), head coach Kim conducted an intensive training session at Atrium Health Performance Park, a base camp in Charlotte, the United States. In an interview at Renaissance Charlotte South Park on the 14th, he said, `The game model has not changed significantly. One more defender (three-back) went in, used those strengths to review the game model, and played a practice game once. It wasn't bad. Today, I modified what came out of the game. I'll take this plan and check it out through my own game" he said.
Ulsan was in Group F along with Fluminensee (Brazil), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), and Mamelody Sundowns (South Africa) at the FIFA Club World Cup. Game 1 will be held at Inter & Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida, at 7 a.m. on the 18th. The opponent is Marmelody.
Coach João Nono Fonseca, who is assisting head coach Kim, flew to Africa to check Mamelodi's power. He "I analyzed it and it was better than I expected. He's a Portuguese coach, but he's tactically good. The players are definitely fast and powerful. I heard that the team's organization is also good. Instead, he said that technology seems to be a little better and was reported to be worth trying in his own view"You can't say I'm tied in the first game, can you. Jangsu should say that he will go to the round of 16 even if his neck runs away" he said.
Ulsan is considered the weakest among the 32 teams participating in the Club World Cup. Director Kim said, `We have to accept that. It should be evaluated with a cool head. But just because you're 32nd doesn't mean you're 32nd. The last place in the K-League sometimes takes the top spot. We must do our best by maximizing our capabilities. I gave the players a message that `you guys can go to the round of 16.'," he stressed.
He continued "I think the variable will be physical strength. I'm a little worried. Orlando is hot and humid, too. But I don't think we have a big advantage. The average age of the opposing team is also in their early 20s. It's a day game, but we have to overcome it well"When I first talked to Ulsan, I personally was motivated by playing in the Club World Cup and ACLE (Asian Champions League Elite). As I played the league, I thought it was more of a crisis than an opportunity' smiled faintly.
It's a war of some kind. The total prize money for the Club World Cup (1 billion dollars, about 1.36 trillion won). The participation fee is a differential payment. In Europe, the participation fee was set from $12.81 million (about 17.4 billion won) to $38.19 million (about 51.9 billion won) depending on the club ranking. South America will receive $15.21 million (about 20.7 billion won), while Asia, North, Central America, and Africa will receive $9.55 million (about 13 billion won). Oceania will receive a minimum of $3.58 million (about 4.9 billion won). In addition, $2 million (about 2.7 billion won) will be given to the team if they win the group stage, and $1 million (about 1.35 billion won) will be given to the team if they win the draw.
Manager Kim said, `Even the players are aware of it. I think the club also motivated me. I don't think I'll overcome it and win just because the prize money is motivation. Even African players can't touch it, so I think it'll be motivating" he warned.
Ulsan's goal is to advance to the round of 16. Coach Kim said he aims for one win and two draws during the Club World Cup trophy tour in Korea in March. He thinks one win and two draws are a miracle. However, the goal cannot be set to be eliminated from the qualifying round. It's not such a disadvantage. It's in the middle of the season. "I don't think it's bad physically, but I think it's good in terms of performance. "We're a good opportunity. You can compete against a great team. It's motivation for the players. If you get a result after competing, it's the best."
And the Club World Cup is an opportunity that no one else has. There is no guarantee that the K-League will also play in four years. You have to be responsible. We should leave a good result. I used to be exciting, but I feel more and more responsible and burdened."
Lee Kang-in's Paris Saint-Germain (France), who achieved his first Treble since its foundation, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid (Spain), Manchester City, Chelsea (Isa England), and Kim Min-jae's Bayern Munich (Germany), Inter Milan, and Juventus (Italy) will challenge for the championship.
Coach Kim said, `I can also see the players I expect personally. You can see the willingness to do well and give it a try. When I said, 'Do you want to try the defense training?', he said he'd try it. I can see the motivation. The players are trying to make their values known"So far, it seems that all markets and fans are still skeptical. But I personally think this competition is attractive. Pick the best club in the world. Like the World Cup, I think it will improve in the future. FIFA is not just a ten-game tournament."
Finally, he tries to play the game in a stable manner. Tactically, it is clearly organized. Eric says he's good at it, but there are 26 Eric in Fluminense. After repeating, correcting for the rest of the year, we can go 100% if we clear the set piece on the eve of the match."
