It was regrettable for Gangwon FC coach Chung Kyung-ho. Gangwon tied 2-2 with Hong Chul's theater goal in the 24th round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against Ulsan HD at Gangneung High1 Arena on the 27th. Gangwon, which ended its unbeaten four games by losing the match against Jeonbuk Hyundai in China, changed the mood with a dramatic draw on the day. Coach Chung continued his unbeaten streak against Ulsan in his manager's career, including acting coach when he was at Seongnam FC.
Gangwon was taken away in the 29th minute of the first half by giving up the first goal to Malkung. He changed the atmosphere with a change in tactics in the second half. Kim Dae-won's equalizer in the fifth minute of the second half brought the game to square one. In the 37th minute of the second half, he allowed Malkung to score a goal and gave the lead again, but Hong Chul's fantastic free-kick theater goal in the extra time of the second half drew dramatically.
Coach Chung, who went to the press conference after the game, said "Thank you for creating a good atmosphere with a lot of fans. The game was what we wanted. In the first half, there was a difficulty with one hit by Malkong, but it was effective to make Park Ho-young wear a sweatshirt through replacement and put Hong Chul in. We came at our pace by leading the second half and scoring an equalizer, but it's a pity that the winning goal didn't come out. If we want to go higher, we need to finish more firmly and break down the opponent. It was not an easy situation, but it collapsed again with one horse. In fact, it was unfair if I lost, and it was unfair even if I drew. It was a game that should have won. Nevertheless, it is encouraging to score the last equalizer and play a game that will bring fans back with a theater goal. He had two draws and one loss against Daejeon, Jeonbuk and Ulsan, and did well. I will reorganize the team during the All-Star break and start the ranking fight with the thought that it is the last time."
Then "Today's game was completely led by scoring an equalizer in the second half. The role of making decisions is important. We need to make patterns in more detail."
In the second half, coach Chung played Park Ho-young as a talking markman. Coach Chung said, `Park Ho-young prepared for the horse game. Before that, I was aggressive, and this game I was sweatshirt. Teams like Jeonbuk and Ulsan have good physical foreign strikers, and I think Park Ho-young can respond." Then "I didn't know the horse would go in this fast. I think they were trying to stop the game from moving towards us. I waited because it was our flow while trying to respond, but I lost a point. He responded right away in the second half, but he erased the horse except for one scene."
Regarding the change in tactics in the second half, `Lee Yoo-hyun was turned to the center and aggressive, but Kim Dong-hyun suffered physical difficulties due to the full-time match against Jeonbuk in Daejeon. Song Joon-seok blocked Rubik's hands and these parts matched well."
Gangwon is undefeated after moving its home stadium to Gangneung. Coach Chung said, `Many fans come from Chuncheon, but Chuncheon has to travel two hours when preparing for the home game, and Gangneung can take advantage of its home advantage to prepare at the clubhouse. It is true that there is an advantage. I think there's a big part to prepare well."
As for Gabriel replacement "Gabriel could have thought from the outside that he could have seen, but he wanted to put in a more energetic player. It was also necessary to experiment on how the newly recruited Kim Shin-jin would play. Unfortunately for Gabriel, it was a positive choice when you look at which direction he was going to go.'
