'The returning monster' Malkong scored multiple goals, but Ulsan HD couldn't laugh.

Ulsan drew 2-2 against Gangwon FC at Gangneung High1 Arena on the 27th, conceding a theater goal to Hong Chul in the second half of the extra time despite Malkong's multi-goal. Ulsan continued its winless march after the match against Gimcheon on May 24 for the second month. In the league, there are no wins in six games, including the Korea Cup and the Club World Cup, and 10 games. Gangwon changed its subdued mood after losing to Jeonbuk Hyundai in China. Gangwon coach Chung Kyung-ho had four undefeated matches against Ulsan in his manager's career, including when he was acting as Seongnam FC coach.

Kangwon put up an elite member. Kim Gun-hee was listed in the starting lineup for the first time. Two-top with Gabriel. Kim Dae-won, Seo Min-woo, Kim Dong-hyun and Mo Jae-hyun were in Heo Gi-jin. Seo Min-woo, who could not play against Jeonbuk due to a sudden high fever, returned to the starting list. The four-bag was set up by Song Joon-seok, Shin Min-ha, Kang Tu-ji, and Lee Yoo-hyun. Lee Yoo-hyun is also in his return match. Park Chung-hyo wore goalkeeper gloves. While Lee Sang-hun, Lee Ji-ho, Kim Kang-guk and Yoon Il-rok are starting from the bench, Kim Shin-jin, who was recruited at the end of the transfer market, was also included in the list.




Ulsan took out a 3-5-2 card. Even in Eric's one-top, 22-year-old volunteer Baek In-woo was at the bottom. Rubikshon and Kang Sang-woo stood on the left and right, and the midfield was set up by Boyanich, Lee Jin-hyun and Ko Seung-beom. The three-back was formed by Lee Jae-sik, Kim Young-kwon, and the signature officer. Cho Hyun-woo kept the goal unchanged. Malkong, who joined the summer transfer market, was on the stand-by as a joker, and Lee Chung-yong's Um Won-sang, Rakaba, and Trojac sat on the bench.

Gangwon coach Chung Kyung-ho, who met before the game, was wary of the horse. He said "I'm scared to death. I think I'm not fully fit yet, but it's good to rub and go in. When I was managing director, I dealt with Malkong, who was in Gyeongnam at the time, and I still remember being beaten. "I think the response method will vary depending on when he comes in and whether we are winning or losing."

Coach Chung is undefeated against Ulsan, including acting Seongnam FC Sizal. He said "Ulsan can't beat him now, but he's a team with power. He said let's do it confidently with faith as much as we do at home. If the brain structure changes positively, the orientation changes, and this can lead to results."




Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon said, `I have to make more body, but I'm in a hurry, so I'm making it while playing. He also says he wants to play as a starting player. I'm going to give it to the point that I feel like I'm overdoing it today." Coach Kim, who has not won recently, emphasized winning mentality.

He said "It's problematic that we can't win against the team we were winning. He said that there was no hope when he touched me because I was a strong team"Now is not the time to talk about playing numbers. Don't people who have eaten meat eat it. As the human composition has changed a lot, it is important to create a winning mentality while winning. Now that we've talked enough about the mental way, it's time to see the players' reactions and actions."
