(Ulsan = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yong-tae = Ulsan Hyundai coach Hong Myung-bo is talking to the players before team training at the Gangdong Football Stadium in Buk-gu, Ulsan on the afternoon of the 11th. 2021.1.11 [email protected]

(Ulsan = Yonhap News) Reporter Bae Jin-nam = Director Hong Myung-bo, who returned to the field in about three and a half years after transforming into an administrator, became difficult to operate 100% of the power on the stage where he officially debuted as the Ulsan Hyundai Command Tower of professional football.
Coach Hong said, “Lee Chung-yong, Hong-cheol, Go Myung-jin, and Dong-kyung Lee are likely to join the Club World Cup after a meeting with the team at the Ulsan Club House.”
Ulsan won the Asian Football Federation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) last year and competed in the International Football Federation (FIFA) Club World Cup held in Qatar starting February 1 as an Asian champion.
This club’s World Cup is the stage to announce the return of coach Hong, who worked as an administrator for three years after resigning from the command tower of Lucheng in Hangzhou, China in May 2017, and was elected as the managing director of the Korean Football Association later that year. It is also the first official competition held as the Ulsan Command Tower.
However, Ulsan, which finished last year more fiercely than any other year and the latest than any other team, has absolutely insufficient time to prepare for the new season. There are also many injured.
Lee Cheong-yong, Hong Chul, and Lee Dong-gyeong have injured the knee, and Myung-jin Go is rehabilitation due to an ankle injury.

Coach Hong explained, “Our players have to prepare for the season, but they are in bad condition right now,” and “Lee Chung-yong, Hong-cheol, and Go Myung-jin are players who need rehabilitation for at least a month.”
Lee Cheong-yong said, “I hurt my right knee last year, and I took the season difficult,” he said. “I thought that this year is still the time for us to rest. I decided to focus on preparing for the upcoming K-League rather than the Club World Cup.”
It is also unclear whether foreign players Dave Bulltoos (Netherlands) and Jason Davidson (Australia) who remain in Ulsan participate in the Club World Cup.
After completing the ACL and returning to their home country, the two are planning to join the Ulsan team in Qatar as the tournament is imminent.
However, coach Hong said, “I gave you a training manual, but it is difficult to predict how much your performance will be.” “As a result, I think the Club World Cup will have to be played with the players here and the new players.”
Coach Hong said, “Ulsan’s power to go to the Club World Cup is only 50%.”
Director Hong decided to look away.
He said, “My greed is my first tournament, so I want to take out good players, but I abandoned that greed. I told him to focus on the season,” he said. “I can’t sacrifice players for my greed.”
