(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Bae Jin-nam =’Asian Champion’ Head coach Hong Myung-bo (52), who leads Ulsan Hyundai and takes part in the 2020 International Football Federation (FIFA) Club World Cup, announced that he will confront world-class clubs with a good look of Korean football.

Ulsan, who competed in the Club World Cup as the champions of the Asian Football Federation (AFC) Champions League last year, at 11 p.m. (KST) on the 4th, at the Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar (CONCACAF) Champions League championship team T Gres UANL (Mexico) is the first match of the tournament.

Coach Hong said at an online press conference held on the afternoon of the 3rd ahead of the Tigres game, “I came here and adjusted my condition for about 4 days,” he said. “I expect players to come to a big tournament and make a good scene in their football life. “It’s over. I hope the players show their best performance.”

He said he had enough knowledge of the power of Tigres, the strongest player in North and Central America during the season.

Coach Hong said, “Tigres is a team with excellent individual ability,” and “I don’t know how far we can stop the opponent’s attack, but we prepared well in our own way.”

According to Transfermark, which deals with the news of the transfer, the market value of the Ulsan team is 18.08 million euros (about 25.6 billion won).

The total market value of the Tigres team is 59.4 million euros (70.7 billion won), more than three times that of Ulsan.

Director Hong does not care.

He emphasized, “The ransom is the standard value of a player. It is a reality that good players receive a high ransom price,” he said. “But a high ransom doesn’t necessarily mean winning a soccer game.”

Soccer is a team sport, and there are various variables such as the condition of the day.” “We respect Tigres enough, but we are a team representing Asia, and among them, since we are a team representing Korea, we will show a good look of Korean soccer. I look forward to it.”

Goalkeeper Jo Hyun-woo, who participated in the press conference on this day, said, “The ransom is not very important.” “Soccer is played by 11 people and 11 people. Ulsan prepared well for Ulsan-like performance. There will be good results.”

Coach Hong said, “Because we don’t have many opportunities to participate in the Club World Cup, we hope that our players will have a really fun and happy match.” “Winning and losing is important as we play at a good stadium where the 2022 Qatar World Cup will be held, but we will take the most I will throw it away and make the game enjoyable.

In addition, “(Club World Cup participation) was not achieved by me, but Ulsan and the former manager (Director Kim Do-hoon), so I am sorry for the achievements,” he said “personally, it is a great honor to be able to play with world-class clubs.”

With the confidence of winning the AFC Champions League in December of last year, coach Hong cited Ulsan’s strength to compete in this tournament within a month.
