Ulsan lost 0-1 to FC Seoul in the 22nd round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 20th. Ulsan, which lost all three games in the FIFA Club World Cup and failed to advance to the semifinals in the Korea Cup, is winless (2 draws and 2 losses) in four consecutive games in K League 1. It remained at 30 points and fell from sixth to seventh.
Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon said "We didn't get a good result. I've never lost in this long, but I feel sorry for the fans. The players are doing their best. The coaching staff is also trying their best to overcome the crisis. If you wait a little longer, I will overcome the difficulties and make sure to show good performances" he said.
Malkon was substituted in the 32nd minute of the second half. It is his first K-League appearance in 2,444 days since November 10, 2018. Malkong scored 22 goals (three assists) at Gyeongnam FC in K League 2 in 2017, winning both the top scorer and MVP (best player award). Gyeongnam won the K League 2 with Malkong at the forefront and was promoted to the first division.
The first part was also his solo performance. Malkung scored 26 goals (5 assists) in 2018, winning the top scorer and MVP at the same time. South Gyeongsang Province caused a great rebellion in the second place in the regular league in its first year of promotion. Malkong is the only player who won the MVP and the top scorer for two consecutive years in the K League's first and second divisions.
Malkung's powerful physical fight caught the eye. However, it seemed that time was needed. Coach Kim also had a gap after playing at the end of April. I thought it would take a lot of time, so I brought him to run and build his body"You shouldn't think of the horse that was seven years ago. His body has matured, too. I lost weight after the start of training. I had an interview and he was very determined. Even during training, I come out faster than others to train. I know the team is difficult."
Coach Kim expected those parts after the game when Malkung came in. I'm expecting to get better and more threatening as time goes by.'
And "There are many technical and tactical parts, but I have to shake them off psychologically. The players will overcome it. He has a lot of experience and skills. I believe in the players. He will still show his strong performance. There is a contraction, but it must be overcome. It's going to be well over the top.'
