Coach Hong Myung-bo's Humility After Winning Two Consecutive K-League 1 Games... “The Main Character is not me, But the Player”
“A season with a lot of bad news… We won without collapsing.”
“The players who won K-League 1 for the second time in a row are not me!”
Coach Hong Myung-bo (54), who led professional soccer team Ulsan Hyundai's '2nd consecutive K-League 1 win' and '4th championship star hunt', gave the credit for confirming the Hana One Q K-League 1 2023 championship to the players. 카지노사이트원
Ulsan, led by Coach Hong, won 2-0 in the home game between Daegu FC and Hana One Q K League 1 2023 Final A Round 35 held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 29th, led by relay goals from Min-hyuk Kim and Si-young Jang.
With the win that day, Ulsan (70 points) widened the point gap with second-place Pohang Steelers (60 points) to 10, confirming the championship regardless of the results of the remaining three games.
Ulsan, last year's champion, achieved its first K-League title since its founding for the second time in a row and won its fourth title in total.
Coach Hong, who held a press conference after the game, said, “Winning is always good,” and added, “The main character today is the player, not the coach.
“There were a lot of difficult situations this season, but I'm glad it ended with a happy ending,” he said with a bright smile.
Next is a Q&A with coach Hong Myung-bo.
- Ulsan achieved two consecutive wins in the K-League for the first time since its founding. How do you feel?
The main characters of today's victory are not me, but the players.
There were difficult and difficult times while leading the team as a coach, but I am personally most happy that it ended in a happy ending by winning the championship title.
Although he could not rule out the possibility that it would not be the last game for the championship, he told the players, 'Let's have a week to focus.'
The players followed suit well.
There was a lot of hard work in the second half of the season, but we were able to win.
- Is there a difference in the feeling of winning last season and winning this season?
Winning is always good.
Last year, we had one goal: to win for the first time in 17 years.
I had a great sense of responsibility and won without much difficulty.
However, this year, although the start was good, the final process was not good.
If we had collapsed at the last minute, our old self would have appeared, but we did not collapse and won faster than ever.
There were a lot of issues on and off the field this year, but it was a year where I learned a lot about life.
- What are the key points of this season?
To be honest, the situation at the end of the season was so bad that it could be said that there was no turning point.
After 33 rounds, when the 5-game split bracket came out, I looked at my opponent and thought I would finish it within the first 2 games.
Being able to recover physically and mentally by winning the ACL match against Johor (Malaysia) on the 24th helped us win the championship.
- Both substitutes scored goals today.
Honestly, scoring a goal in that situation is not easy.
After finishing the first half, I was confident that I would be able to score in the second half.
I trusted the players' decision-making ability, and it was luck that a new player scored.
- You said you would shorten the '10-year cycle'.
Personally, my leadership career is honestly not important. 사설토토
My interest is in helping the people who work with me grow happily.
I am most happy that we won today on our home ground.
I am always grateful to my fans.
