Hong Myung-bo, officially inaugurated as Ulsan Hyundai’s 11th coach, said, “I will show you a hot and dynamic offensive football. “I have to answer to the K-League championship task.”
Ulsan Hyundai held an online inauguration press conference of new director Hong Myung-bo through its official YouTube channel. At this meeting, coach Hong revealed his thoughts on the reasons for returning to the leader, controversy behind the K-League in 2014, Ulsan’s goal and direction for the 2021 season, and the composition of the squad.
Director Hong said, “I’ve been working in the field of coaching and administration so far, but the K-League was always in my mind. After the end of his office as a managing director of the Football Association, Ulsan gave us a good suggestion. I want to compete with leaders my age. I was pulled back by the pure passion of the leader,” he said.
Ulsan will start the season with the FIFA Club World Cup in February, starting with the convocation of the athletes on this day and conducting training in Korea next week.

Coach Hong said, “Currently, the formation of the squad is in progress. Athletes who participated in the ACL not long ago need a break mentally and physically, he pledged, “I have absolutely insufficient time to prepare for the season, but I will do my best as I represent Korea and Asia.”
Ulsan won the last season’s last ACL championship and gained some beauty. However, they were pushed back to Jeonbuk for two consecutive years and remained second in the K-League.
In response, Director Hong said, “From the outside, Ulsan also gathered a great squad. I don’t think I’m going back to that process just because I won second place. However, Jeonbuk has made such a composition before Ulsan. “I want to give high marks for competing with Jeollabuk-do as Ulsan prepared for two years,” he said. “But it is a big limitation that we did not win an important hurdle. I felt that my confidence and goals were less than that of Jeonbuk. In the future, it is a part to be made with the players.”
It also revealed plans for Ulsan’s goals, plans, and directions for the 2021 season.
Director Hong said, “I think that if the individual and the team are considerate of each other, we will be able to produce results. At the same time as Ulsan coach, he was given the task of winning. It’s a very simple and clear goal.” “I know the thirst that Ulsan fans haven’t won for 15 years since 2005. You have to answer that. Winning is important, but creating a solid foundation for winning is another goal.”
He also said, “The national team had no choice but to run a stable and defensive operation to meet a strong team. The club team has a time to prepare differently from the national team and to talk to the players. “I think we can show a hot enough offensive football.”
He also mentioned the teams that will compete in the league, such as Jeonbuk Hyundai and Pohang Steelers.
Coach Hong said, “In order for Ulsan to win the K-League, Jeonbuk must overcome. Ulsan missed the championship because they could not win the confrontation with Jeonbuk. The match against Jeonbuk is a 6-point match. I will always be determined not to be defeated by the competing team.”
As for playing the East Coast derby with Pohang, where he was a player, he said, “When I was a player, I was determined to win the Ulsan away game. Now, as a coach in the East Coast derby, we are in a position to beat Pohang. I will focus on my mission as a director to present victory to Ulsan fans.” “It is an East Coast Derby that has not received much attention from the general public. I hope that the East Coast Derby will receive a lot of interest through me and help the league in success.”
Regarding the remarks of the B-class players while leaving the 2014 World Cup coaching position in Brazil, “At the time, there was no reason or room to belittle the K-League. I know that K-League fans were hurt by my remarks. I take this opportunity to convey my apologies.” “K-League is the league I have been playing for the longest time in my professional life. In the future, as Ulsan coach, I will show you what kind of feelings I have for the K-League.” Reporter Jeong Se-hong [email protected]
