Shin Tae-yong, who appeared as a firefighter in Ulsan HD, will be on the stage for the third time.

However, it is a close struggle. Ulsan will play FC Seoul in the 27th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 24th. Both teams collapsed disastrously in the last round with a 'shock defeat'.

Seoul was heavily defeated by Gimcheon Sangmu 2-6, and Ulsan was completely defeated by Suwon FC, which is in the lower ranks, 2-4 on the 16th. Coach Shin won 1-0 against SK in Jeju on the 9th, his debut match, and reported three points in 18 K-League games. It was a hope that was regained in 77 days. But joy stopped in one game. He was caught in the yoke of his first defeat.




Ulsan is ranked 8th (34 points). Seoul is ranked fifth with 37 points. After seven more rounds, K League 1 will be divided into Final A in 1st to 6th place and Final B in 7th to 12th place. The sixth place is the Maginot Line, which should not be further removed.

It is both a crisis and an opportunity. If Ulsan beats Seoul, it can be ranked fifth in terms of multiple points. Director Shin said "It's not easy. All the players are tired, and there are a lot of minor injuries. I don't think we can change until the A-match period in September."

Monster' Malkon was ruled out of the entry for the day due to injury. Director Shin said, `I lost weight and body fat. There is damage to the groin after taking two months off and continuing to play. I trained, but I don't have to be controlled by one game. I took a break for one game and asked him to trust me to do well in the next match against Jeonbuk.




And you can win, you can lose. I don't like to lose and impress. He emphasized, "Don't bow your head, but what passed is said to have passed." As for Seoul, "I'm busy on my way, but I'm sure there will be some difficulties because I lost against Gimcheon." I didn't know because my team was in a hurry, but I thought it would be difficult due to injuries and warning disciplinary actions by Exgis players. Seoul is also a temporary measure. "I'm sorry to coach Kim Ki-dong, but I think I'll be able to play well if I make it well."

Coach Shin takes out a 4-3-3 card. With Heo Yul at the peak, Yoon Jae-seok and Eric are placed on the left and right. Ko Seung-beom, Kim Min-hyuk and Lee Jin-hyun line up in midfield. Cho Hyun-taek, Kim Young-kwon, Seo Myeong-gwan, and Rubik'sson will play the role of four backs. Cho Hyun-woo protects the goal.

Coach Shin said, `The K-League should have a strong physical fight. Boyanich is a European player, but he kicks the ball pretty. But the physical fight is weak. I excluded him from the starting lineup in that regard," he added.
