[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = Manager Hong Myung-bo, who took office as the new manager of Ulsan Hyundai, wanted more stories to be made in the K League through himself.
Ulsan held a press conference for inauguration of director Hong Myung-bo at 1:30 pm on the 7th. This press conference received a questionnaire from reporters in advance due to Corona 19, and was conducted as a non-face-to-face streaming broadcast.
Director Hong said, “This is the first time I greet Ulsan and K-League fans this year. It is a pity that I could not meet fans online due to the Corona 19 crisis. I am looking forward to it. I will try to help Ulsan with my experience and know-how.”
Hong Myung-bo, who became the first K-League coach since starting his career as a leader in 2005, is looking forward to seeing what kind of story he will show in Ulsan.
On the 4th, Ki Sung-yong, who shared the success story with coach Hong Myung-bo at the London Olympics, said, “I was amazed when I heard that (Director Hong Myung-bo) is going. It is a pleasure to meet you again and I am the director I personally respect. But in the world of competition, you have to do your best. Ulsan is a good team and I hope you can lead them well.”
Director Hong had the same heart as Ki Sung-yong. When asked about the confrontation with Ki Sung-yong, he said, “It is a welcome thing for star players who have been loved by many to return to the K-League. It can be said that Sung-Yong Ki and Cheong-Yong Lee, who have good skills, made a decision for Korean football. Ki Sung-yong couldn’t play a lot due to an injury last year, but this year, I will prepare well and look forward to good performance. Since there is Lee Cheong-yong in Ulsan, I hope that the’Ssangyong Match’ will become more topical to fans in the confrontation with Seoul.”

Ki Sung-yong, Park Ju-young, and Kim Bo-kyung are also from Hong Myung-bo’s children. This is Hong Myung-bo, who will also meet with manager Kim Nam-il and Seongnam, who lived together in the 2002 World Cup. However, director Hong said, “The glory of the past is the past. At that time, I often meet and talk about precious memories with the players. However, starting as a director, he made a pledge not to be bound by the past by himself. I will bury memories in my heart and focus on new ways of success and what needs to be achieved in the future. “The greatest gift is to focus on each role and to be trusted by everyone,” he said. He said he would focus on his role as Ulsan manager.
In addition, coach Hong Myung-bo has been active in Ulsan’s rival Pohang Steel Atoms (now Pohang Steelers) since 1992, and is a legend who played 156 games in Pohang alone. But now, as Ulsan manager, he is in a position to win against Pohang. Regarding this, “When I was a player, I was determined to win the Ulsan game. Now, we are in a position to beat Pohang in the East Coast Derby. I live with respect to Pohang and fans, but 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 attention through me and help the league’s success.”
