Ulsan HD, which is seeking its fourth consecutive win in the K-League, is getting faster. It will play 16 K-League matches "alone" in April. This is the schedule created by the FIFA Club World Cup.
Ulsan will play for Asia at the Club World Cup, which will kick off in the U.S. on June 16 (Korean time). It is a massive "party of stars" with a total prize money of 1 billion U.S. dollars. Ulsan has advanced the 18th to 19th rounds against Daejeon on June 15 and FC Anyang on June 18 to April. The match against Daejeon will be held on June 1 and the match against Anyang on June 23. The 20th round against Suwon FC on June 22 and the 21st round against Daegu FC on June 28 will be postponed to July.
Ulsan is forced to play six games during the month of April, but its footsteps are light. K-League 1 is a stage that cannot be given up. It lost 0-1 to Anyang in the opening match on June 16, falling as a victim of an unexpected incident, but immediately rebounded. Ulsan, which is riding the wind of three consecutive wins, is ranking second with nine points. It has the same score as the first-runner Daejeon Hana Citizen. The team only had mixed scores in terms of multiple points. Daejeon has six points and Ulsan has five points.
Ulsan coach Kim Pan-gon plans to secure the maximum number of points in the regular league through the Club World Cup. "We will play well in the K-League and prepare well so that we can do our best in the Club World Cup," he said. Players' eyes have also changed on the scale of the Club World Cup. Eventually, we need to build a stronger team through the K-League. "We will play well in the K-League first, and we will play well in the local league to have a good game," Kim said.
Heo Yul, who has emerged as Ulsan's main gun by scoring three goals in four matches, also said, "Club World Cup is a bit far away. I will focus more on the league as I have time left," but added, "It is clearly different because it is a world stage. The Club World Cup is as motivating as it represents the K-League and Korea. I will prepare with excitement."
Ulsan is currently boasting the most stable team performance in the K League 1. It is the unrivaled record of having a clean sheet (no goals lost) in three consecutive games. Don't be complacent, but if you maintain your current momentum, there will be no major obstacles. "There are no comfortable games," Kim said. "I don't feel comfortable, but I'm not nervous at all."
There is another reason why Kim is "all-in" on points at the beginning of this season. Ulsan failed to advance to the round of 16 teams at the AFC Champions League Elite (ACLE) in the 2024-2025 season. The honor of the "K-League Champions" has been damaged. The league stage for next season will start in the second half of the year. To focus on ACLE, it should display a winning streak in K-League 1 first. 카지노사이트
Ulsan plans to depart for the U.S. on June 6. At the Club World Cup, the team joined Fluminensee (Brazil), Borussia Dortmund (Germany), and Mamelody Sundowns (South Africa) in Group F. Ulsan will have showdowns with the Sundowns on June 18, Fluminensee on June 22, and Dortmund on June 26. Ulsan's first goal is to advance to the round of 16. The first round is a watershed because it considers the Sundowns as a sacrifice for one win.
