K League 1 defending champion Ulsan HD has expressed its strong will to do well in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite (ACLE) and FIFA Club World Cup with four consecutive league losses.
Coach Kim Pan-gon said through the club on the 27th, "The first goal of this season is to win the league for four consecutive times," adding, "We will thoroughly prepare to show good performance in the ACLE, which was sluggish last season, and to give joy to fans at the FIFA Club World Cup."
Ulsan, which is currently conducting winter training in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, has performed well in warm-up matches with European clubs and continues to be smooth.
It defeated FC Lapid Bucharest (Romania) 2-1, Lokomotiv Moscow (Russia) 1–0, Dynamo Samarkand (Uzvekistan) 2–1, and drew 1-1 with MSK Zilina (Slovak).
Coach Kim Pan-gon said, "We are preparing well physically with almost no injuries," adding, "I think you can look forward to it a lot this season."
Veteran defender Kim Young-kwon, who will wear the captain's armband this season, also expressed his ambition, saying, "We are preparing to win the K-League, the Cup, and pass the Club World Cup qualifiers." In particular, he added, "I am looking forward to this season as the players who have been with me in the K-League and the national team joined." 메이저사이트
Ulsan has been working hard to strengthen its offense in the transfer window this winter. Following the acquisition of Venezuelan national winger Matthias Lacava, it has strengthened its capabilities by recruiting proven Korean players such as Lee Hee-kyun, Heo Yul, and Kang Sang-woo.
Soccer fans are paying keen attention to whether Ulsan, which has added new power, will be able to achieve four consecutive wins for the first time in K-League history and achieve meaningful results on the Asian stage.
