(Ulsan = Yonhap News) Reporter Jinnam Bae = Manager Hong Myung-bo, who took the lead of Ulsan Hyundai in professional football, met with the champions of the Asian Football Federation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) for the first time and threw three messages of’responsibility, attitude and happiness .
Coach Hong started preparing for the new season in earnest at the clubhouse in Ulsan on the 11th with a meeting with the entire squad including last year’s ACL champions.
At the end of last year, coach Hong, who took over from former coach Kim Do-hoon, who ended his four-year companionship with Ulsan, took office at the Ulsan command tower on the 7th, held an inauguration press conference online and started official work in Ulsan by leading the first training.
However, the players who participated in the ACL last year and won the tournament in Ulsan after 8 years were on a break for a week after completing self-isolation for two weeks after returning home.
So, the meeting between Hong and the members of the ACL was the first time.
Athletes who were unable to participate in the training this afternoon because they were rehabilitation due to injuries such as Lee Cheong-yong, Go Myung-jin, Hong-cheol, and Lee Dong-gyeong were also present.
