Happy coach Gus Foyet
(Seoul=Yonhap News) Jeonbuk coach Gus Foyet, who confirmed his advance to the finals by winning the second match of the 2025 Hana Bank Korea Cup semifinals between Gangwon FC and Jeonbuk Hyundai at Gangneung High1 Arena in Gangwon Province on the 27th, is delighted. 2025.8.27 Ulsan HD in crisis will play its third 'Hyundai Debi' this season against Jeonbuk, which is doing well.
Ulsan will hold the 28th round of 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' at Munsu Football Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 30th. Currently, Ulsan, with nine wins, seven draws and 11 losses, is ranked eighth with 34 points. With 60 points (18 wins, 6 draws, 3 losses), Jeonbuk is in the lead. It is a sight to reach the top in four years since 2021, when it won five consecutive games. He is aiming for a 'double (two golds)' to advance to the final of the Korea Cup.
Ulsan has been in a swamp of two consecutive losses recently after one win since Shin Tae-yong took office. There is not much difference between the 10th-ranked Jeju SK (31 points) and 11th-ranked FC Anyang (30 points), which have to play the promotion playoff (PO), so they are busy going. Three points are absolutely necessary to shake off the pursuit of subordinated teams and close the gap with the top ranks.
Jeonbuk lost 1-3 away to the Pohang Steelers on the 24th, stopping its unbeaten streak in 22 games. Ulsan aims to catch this game and enter the A-match break in September in a good mood.
Ulsan's Ko Seung-beom and Eric both scored in the away game in Seoul last round. Left fullbacks Cho Hyun-taek and Kang Sang-woo each recorded one assist, but unfortunately lost 2-3. The problem is defense, which has allowed seven runs in the last two games. There is a need to improve concentration and refine it systematically.

Director Shin is the first to 'modernist Derby' The resource to note is Eric. Eric scored his 10th goal against Seoul, continuing his race to become the top scorer. Malkong, who complained of groin pain ahead of the match against Seoul, also joined the training and plans to break down the opponent's defense with a combination of Eric and 'Big & Small' in the match against Jeonbuk.
Ulsan has good memories against Jeonbuk on March 1st, five months ago. In the third round of the K League 1, which drew 26,317 people, the most at home this season, Boyanich connected Rubikson's pass to the winning goal to win 1-0. In the away game on May 31, Lee Chung-yong finished the ball handed by Um Won-sang, but lost 1-3 in a row.
It was tight with one win and one loss this season and one win, one draw and one loss last season. However, Ulsan has an advantage with 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 10 games, and 44 wins, 30 draws and 43 losses in the entire career.
The atmosphere is different, too. As if representing the interest of "Hyundai Derby", more than 20,000 tickets were sold in less than two hours of reservation.
