Ulsan HD coach Hong Myung-bo promised to send off national team fullback Seol Young-woo, who was recently rumored to be moving to Europe, with a round of applause after he finishes this season.
According to the Ulsan club on the 14th, Coach Hong will look into Seol Young-woo's future ahead of the match against Banfore Kofu (Japan) in the first leg of the 2023-24 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) round of 16 to be held at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on the 15th. talked about it
Coach Hong said, “First of all, there is no change in my opinion,” and “When Seol Young-woo returned to the team, we discussed each other’s thoughts well. We understand each other well. Seol Young-woo is an important player in Ulsan and a player who has grown and benefited from Ulsan.”
He added, “We will work together to create a situation where Seol Young-woo can finish the next year well with the team, receive applause from everyone, including fans, and challenge himself to greater heights.”
Seol Young-woo played as a key player for Klinsmann in the recently concluded AFC Asian Cup. Seol Young-woo, a fullback, played all matches from the group stage to the semifinals against Jordan, regardless of whether he was left or right.
In particular, Seol Young-woo attracted interest by receiving offers from European teams. It is known that he sent an active love call from the Serbian club where Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) plays.
Seol Young-woo, who won a gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, is relatively free to enter Europe through military service benefits.
South Korea's Seol Young-woo breaks through in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup semifinal match between Jordan and Korea held at Al Rayyan Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Qatar on the 6th (local time).
Seol Young-woo himself also publicly expressed his will to go to Europe and expressed his desire to take on a new challenge. However, Ulsan announced the principle of no transfer because they do not have the resources to replace Seol Young-woo right now.
Meanwhile, Coach Hong, who is entering the 2024 season through the Gohu match, said, “Some players were called up to the national team, and it was not a situation where everything could be trained or prepared perfectly,” but added, “It will be an important game because it is the beginning of the year.” I strengthened my will to win.
In addition to Seol Young-woo, Ulsan's key players including Kim Young-kwon and Cho Hyun-woo were absent for over a month to participate in the Asian Cup. Coach Hong said, “After the league and cup competitions ended in December last year, the players were called up to the national team without rest,” and added, “We will check their condition and physical condition to decide whether or not they will participate.”
He then expressed satisfaction, saying, “The attitude of the players who returned from the national team in training and preparing for the game is very good.” 섯다
