[이데일리 스타in 이석무 기자] Ulsan Hyundai, returning from the AFC Champions League (ACL) schedule, will go away to Suwon Samsung.
Ulsan will play the 10th round of Hanawon Q K League 1 2022 once morest Suwon at the Suwon World Cup Stadium at 4:30 pm on Children’s Day on the 5th.
Ulsan, who is undefeated with 23 points from 7 wins, 2 draws, and 2 draws in 9 league games, will start hunting for 3 points once morest Suwon. Depending on the results of the match between Incheon United (18 points) and Suwon FC in 2nd place on the same day, Ulsan might further widen the gap in the lead. It’s an opportunity to hit the start of the season, so three points are absolutely necessary.
Ulsan played the ACL group stage in Malaysia from the 15th of last month. They struggled under various adverse conditions such as lawn problems, fickle weather, and home territoriality. However, they failed to advance to the round of 16 by staying in third place with 10 points from 3 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in 6 matches.
After the final match once morest Johor Darul Takjim, manager Hong Myung-bo said, “We had to overcome these situations to grow a little more, but we did not overcome them.
After completing their Asian stage tour, the Ulsan team arrived at Incheon International Airport on the 2nd. While resting, he made every effort to recover from fatigue. We also had time to communicate with the coaches and players to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the ACL and to shake off the disappointment.
Ulsan has an edge over Suwon with 35 wins, 26 draws and 27 losses. Last season, they faced each other four times, with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss.
Starting with this match once morest Suwon, Ulsan has 7 matches (6 league games, FA Cup round of 16) scheduled for May alone. He is determined to leave behind the regrets of the ACL and further solidify his position at the top of the K-League.
