Coach Hong Myung-bo laughed at the 2002 World Cup legend.
[골닷컴, 탄천종합운동장] Reporter Kim Hyung-joong = The attention of football fans was drawn to the confrontation between Seongnam FC coach Kim Nam-il and Ulsan Hyundai coach Hong Myung-bo, a key member of the 2002 World Cup that brought joy to the whole people. The result of the resourceful confrontation was the victory of Hong Myung-bo.
Ulsan won 1-0 thanks to Lee Dong-jun’s goal in the HanawonQ K League 1 round 7 away game against Seongnam held at the Tancheon Sports Complex on the afternoon of the 3rd. Ulsan won the game after 4 games, and Lee Dong-jun scored his 3rd goal.

Before the start of the game, coaches both praised each other. Director Hong Myung-bo talked about his juniors, saying, “Last season, I experienced a lot of experience and it seems to be improving.” Director Kim Nam-il said, “I contacted you for a moment and said hello yesterday,” and then said, “Ulsan is really terrifying,” and poked his tongue out at the opponent’s strong squad.
From the starting lineup, the two managers made a difference. Seongnam put Richard in the position of the holding midfielder. Although it is a center bag, I had the experience of standing here in Ulsan. Ulsan played goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo and both full-backs Kim Tae-hwan and Hong-cheol among the nine players who have been to the national team.
At the beginning of the game, coach Kim Nam-il’s defensive football entered the game. In addition to the three-backs of Ma Sang-hoon, Ahn Young-gyu, and Lee Chang-yong, the left and right midfielders Lee Si-young and Seo Joo-min also focused on the defense and built a solid defensive wall of five. The Ulsan attacking team couldn’t properly attack the opponent’s defense and created no chance.
Director Hong Myung-bo took special measures in 22 minutes in the first half. Excluding Kang Yun-gu and Kim Min-jun, under the age of 22, Barco and Lee Dong-jun were added. Director Hong Myung-bo’s judgment was correct. In the 28th minute of the first half, Yun Bitgaram’s right foot crossed and Lee Dong-jun held the head to cut the goal. It was a little disappointing to select the location of the center back Ma Sang-hoon of Seongnam, who had been in good shape recently.

With the start of the second half, coach Nam-il Kim changed three players. Choe Ji-mook, Iskanderov, and Bush were added, except for Servo Min, Ma Sang-hoon, and Park Yong-ji. Richard went down to the center-back position where Ma Sang-hoon played. Bush created a chance at the forefront with the tall Mulich. However, he was disappointed in his decision and failed to score.
Eventually the match ended with the victory of 1-0 away team Ulsan, and Seongnam was defeated for the first time at home this season. The first confrontation between 2002 World Cup legend coach Hong Myung-bo and Kim Nam-il ended with Hong’s victory.
