[Cincinnati (USA) = Sports Chosun Reporter Kim Sung-won] Ulsan HD's two goals at the FIFA Club World Cup were jointly scored by the domestic team.

Um Won-sang and Lee Jin-hyun scored one goal and one assist side by side. The power gap between foreign players was large. Still, Rubik'sson did his bit. He was the only foreign player to play the entire game full time.

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). Ulsan, which lost 0-1 to South Africa's Mamelodi Sundaus in the first game, knelt 2-4 to Brazil's prestigious Pluminensi in the second game. He was dragged 0-1 and succeeded in turning the tables, but failed to withstand the last. It was even more regrettable that the tournament ended with all three losses.




Rubikshon was in charge of right wing-back in the first half and two-top in the second half against Dortmund. After the game, he said "It was a very difficult game. Dortmund was very aggressive, but Cho Hyun-woo blocked a lot of goals"Cho Hyun-woo always shows such great defense, whether it's ACL or league. He showed great performance today as well. Cho Hyun-woo is in the K League but is a member of the national team. a good quality player."

The number of shots in the first half was 0-20. Ulsan did not 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. Cho Hyun-woo stopped the crushing defeat with his whole body. Cho Hyun-soo's number of saves was 8 out of 9 effective shots.

Rubik'sson seems to have a lot of regrets about the first game, playing three games. I think we did a good job with big champions like Pluminensi and Dortmund. Especially in the case of Pluminensee, he said, "I played very tight as a team to the point where I was ahead of him in the first half."




And "We were able to play this big tournament because of what we've done as a team. Of course, I lost this tournament, but I think the team itself has learned to move forward even stronger on its own. Many young players were also recruited through this winter transfer market, and they must have learned a lot through this tournament. I think we need to continue to work hard to participate in this competition again," he stressed.

Ulsan's 「2 Hearts」 Ko Seung-beom started in the first and second games, but took the field as a substitute at half-time in the third game. He acted as a lubricant for the midfield with his tireless physical strength.

Ko Seung-beom competed against a world-class player. As a team, I think I prepared well, but I lacked a lot of individuals. I think it will be motivating. We have a lot of games left in the future, but I think we need to grow further to motivate ourselves."

When asked 'the part that felt the biggest gap'", speed, strength, and physical parts were large. Richie is so long and fast. That becomes a variable. I had a hard time..." he confessed. Of course, there were some positives. He said "We did it defiantly. There was something that worked out of that. If we take that and supplement what needs to be supplemented, I think we will go in a good direction."

Regarding Cho Hyun-woo's great performance, Ko Seung-beom said, `Hyun-woo always makes good saves. But it's not a good thing as a team. The goalkeeper's brilliant game gave him many chances to shoot. Shouldn't we help the team more with things like this. I think we have more opportunities because Hyun-woo does more than his part. I think it would be nice to make more use of it as a team."

He continued "Activity is important, but there is a difference in more efficient areas. It's a personal part, and I think I should do it while thinking about efficiency. There is an answer that all the opposing teams can win even if they don't play a lot. You have to look for something like that," he added.
