Seol Young-woo, ‘League 2nd consecutive loss

Seol Young-woo is not satisfied with ‘this level’.

Ulsan Hyundai drew 2-2 with Kawasaki Frontale in the 6th match of Group I of the 2023-24 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) group stage held at Munsu World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 12th. With the draw that day, Ulsan advanced to the round of 16 with 10 points.

It didn't start well. After kickoff, Ulsan went on the offensive, actively utilizing Rubikson and Eom Won-sang on the flanks and Martin Adam in the center. However, the score belonged to Kawasaki, who counterattacked calmly. Following Tono's first goal in the 17th minute of the first half, Tatsuki scored a key goal in the 31st minute.

Consecutive goals conceded at home. Ulsan was shaken but stood up again. In the 44th minute of the first half, Lee Chung-yong's free kick was followed by Eom Won-sang's cross and Martin Adam headed into the net. A quick and sensible free kick while the opposing player was protesting paid off. In addition, it was Martin Adam's chasing goal that provided the starting point for the chase as the first half ended scoreless.

After entering the second half, we quickly achieved balance. The attack continued after a corner kick in the 6th minute of the second half. Kim Young-kwon was tripped by an opposing defender and a penalty kick (PK) was declared. Martin Adam, who took the kicker, pushed a low shot into the left corner, completing the equalizer and multiple goals.

Ulsan, who started to turn things around, pulled the reins by replacing Rubikson, Kim Min-hyuk, and Kim Seong-jun with Ataru, Joo Min-gyu, and Bako. Kawasaki, now in balance, also responded with the introduction of Miyashiro, Kazuya, Yamane, and Ozeki Ienaga. However, there were no goals remaining and the game ended in a 2-2 draw. With the draw that day, Ulsan advanced to the 10-point mark and secured a ticket to the round of 16.

After the game ended, I met Seol Young-woo in the mixed zone. This year, they enjoyed a lot of happiness, including 2 consecutive wins in the K-League, K-League Best Eleven, gold medal at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, and ACL round of 16. Seol Young-woo, who has now established himself as the best player not only in Ulsan but also in the league, expressed his thoughts on finishing the season.
