In a single match, we need a player who performs so-called “mad” activities.
Ulsan HD and Pohang Steelers will play the final match of the Korea Cup at 3 p.m. on Tuesday at Seoul World Cup Stadium. It is a one-off match. Ulsan, which has achieved its third consecutive K League 1 title, is aiming for a double (two gold medals). Pohang, which ranks sixth in the league, aims to qualify for the AFC Champions League (ALC) 2nd by winning its second consecutive Korea Cup title.
Ulsan’s key player is Lee Chung-yong (36). He has the most experience in major stages in Ulsan, which is full of resources for the national team. He is a “spiritual support.” He is trusted not only by Hong Myung-bo but also by Kim Pan-gon, the newly appointed coach. He is not just providing assistance mentally.
Lee Chung-yong helped Joo Min-kyu score the final goal in the match against Gangwon FC (2-1 win), which confirmed its third consecutive league victory on the 1st. He also helps Park Chu-young score in the match against Suwon FC (4-2 win), playing his part in the ground even at an old age. Ulsan expects Lee Chung-yong’s seasoned skills in this final as well. At the Media Day held on the 21st, Kim Min-woo said, “(Lee) Cheong-yong seems to be the likely (MVP) candidate. He maintains excellent performance and has a lot of experience in big stages,” adding, “I trust him.
Pohang will have high expectations on Hong Yoon-sang (22), the K-League 1 Young Player Award nominee. He returned to the K-League after playing in Germany last summer. He scored two goals in 11 matches in his first year, but he has been a key member this season. He has six goals and two assists in 33 matches in the league.
In the FA Cup final against Jeonbuk Hyundai last year, Hong Yoon-sang was substituted in the second half and scored the decisive goal with a fantastic curving shot. However, he missed the MVP of the tournament because it was not the final goal. Hong is greedy to win this Cora Cup MVP. He has a strong will. 온라인바카라
In an away match in Yokohama (Japan), the fifth leg of the AFC Champions League phase of the Asian Football Confederation (ACLE) league, Pohang has effectively deployed Team B as its flagship player. Hong Yun-sang, who has accumulated physical stamina, is also determined to put everything into it.
