Reporter Kim Dong-chan = In the K-League 1 regular league, which opens on the 25th, the ‘public enemy’ was also the ‘defending champion’ Ulsan Hyundai.
At the Hana 1Q K League 2023 Opening Media Day event held at The-K Hotel, Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 20th, players from 12 K-League 1 clubs were asked, “If you could win all 3 matches against one team, which team would you like to do?” came out
The team that received the most votes here was last season’s winner, Ulsan.
First of all, Jeonbuk Hyundai Hong Jeong-ho, who is counted as the ‘2nd round’ with Ulsan this season, pointed to Ulsan as a ‘winner’, saying, “If we win 3 times against Ulsan, we can win.”
In addition, Gangwon FC Lim Chang-woo, who lost 4 matches against Ulsan last season, said, “Many coaches and players answer Ulsan to this question, and I think I will get bored if I answer that way, but I can’t help it.” I will do it,” he said.

Ulsan and Pohang Steelers’ rivalry in the ‘East Coast Derby’ Kim Seung-dae, the ‘line breaker’, also picked Ulsan.
Kim Seung-dae replied, “If you tell me which team the fans want the most, I will win 3 unconditionally against that team.”
When the fans who attended the Media Day event shouted ‘Ulsan’, Kim Seung-dae said, “I have always prepared well because I play the East Coast Derby against Ulsan,” and promised, “I will show an unconditional advantage in the East Coast Derby this season.”
Choi Yeongjun of Jeju United also wanted to beat Ulsan.
He explained the reason, “Ulsan is last year’s champion, and I was also in Jeonbuk (Ulsan’s rival).”
Jeong Seung-hyeon of Ulsan evaluated Jeonbuk, who is also expected to compete for the league championship, as the opponent he must beat.
Jeong Seung-hyun said, “If we win all three head-to-head matches, we get 9 points.”
‘Super Match’ rivals FC Seoul and Suwon Samsung pointed to each other.
Seoul Ilyuchenko said, “I will beat Suwon all three times,” and Suwon Lee Ki-je also promised, “Since many fans come to the Super Match with Seoul, we must win.”
Daegu FC Oh Seung-hoon pointed out Gwangju FC, who came up from K League 2, as a ‘3-win opponent’.
Oh Seung-hoon explained the reason, saying, “It is the most realistic to win 3 wins over Gwangju,” and “I will show that K League 1 is not easy.”
Ahn Young-gyu of Gwangju said, “I want to win 3 times in Jeju, led by coach Ki-il Nam,” and then hurriedly explained, “I have no feelings (to the coach).”
