An exciting match is scheduled from the first game of the 2023 season K-League 1. You just have to wait 10 days.
◇Ulsan vs Jeonbuk: Amano Derby (former Hyundai Derby)
Date: February 25th, 2pm
Location: Ulsan Munsu Stadium
The two strongest teams in the self-proclaimed K-League decorate the official opening game of the 2023 season. Ulsan Hyundai, the K-League 1 winner last season, and Jeonbuk Hyundai, the FA Cup winner, will clash in Ulsan. When the K-League champion Ulsan players enter, the FA Cup champion Jeonbuk players will line up and clap. This picture is also interesting.
It is a big match that has long been called the ‘Hyundai Family Derby’. However, for this day, it will be ‘Amano Derby’. An interesting story was added when Japanese midfielder Amano Jun, who played a big role as Ulsan’s ace for the past year, moved to rival Jeonbuk.
Right after Amano joined Jeonbuk, Ulsan coach Hong Myung-bo said, “I am the worst Japanese player I know.” He said, “He lied that he would stay in Ulsan” is the reason. Amano said, “It was a misunderstanding,” and “I didn’t lie. He explained that Ulsan’s formal offer (extension of lease) came late.”
The spark moved into a war of nerves among the fans. Ulsan fans defended manager Hong and condemned Amano. Jeonbuk fans embraced Amano and countered Ulsan fans’ attack. Because of this, several fights took place in the comments section of the social media (SNS) of the two teams. Now is the time to fight with soccer, not cyber warfare.
◇Jeju vs Suwon FC: ‘Difference in position’ between coach Nam Ki-il and player Yoon Bit-garam
Date: February 26, 2:00 PM
Venue: Jeju World Cup Stadium
The link between the two teams is Yun Bitgaram. Yoon Bitgaram, who played for Jeju United for six seasons, moved to Suwon FC ahead of this season. It was a trade transfer with promising midfielder Lee Ki-hyeok. As soon as Yoon Bit-garam leaves Jeju, he goes to Jeju away game.
Yoon Bit-garam was 먹튀검증thoroughly shunned by coach Ki-il Nam in Jeju last season. It was the first time he experienced it after his professional debut. The number of times we met and communicated face-to-face for a year was about 2 times. Manager Nam notified Bitgaram Yun to go down to the 2nd team, and after that, Bitgaram Yoon’s Jeju career was over.
At the battery training media camp earlier this month, coach Nam said, “I’m sorry I couldn’t get Yoon Bit-garam to play. There was a part where my thoughts and the player’s thoughts were inconsistent.” Yoon Bit-garam, who came to the same place with a time difference, said, “Last year was very difficult and hurt. (Director Nam) confessed, “I feel sorry for why I couldn’t say I’m sorry back then.” The two meet again in Jeju.
◇Daejeon vs Gangwon: Do you remember the ball boy incident?
Date: February 26th at 4:30 PM
Location:
December 12, 2021 at Daejeon World Cup Stadium. 1 and 2 appear frequently in dates. It is the day when the second leg of the promotion playoff between the 1st and 2nd divisions was held. Daejeon Hana Citizen was in a position to go up to the first division, and Gangwon FC was in a position to remain in the first division. Even though both teams were desperate, they were too desperate.
The game was of high quality. After a slugfest, Daejeon was drawn 1-3. Daejeon won the first leg 1-0, so the aggregate score was at a 2-3 disadvantage. (For reference, the away goal system has been abolished.) At the end of the second half in Daejeon, everyone except the goalkeeper jumped on the attack and threw themselves.
However, the ball boys of the home team, Gangwon, lowered the quality of the game. The ball boys surrounding the 4 sides of the ground passed the ball late as if showing off. It was intentionally delayed. There were even ball boys who would hug the ball tightly to their chest and pretend not to see it. Eventually, Daejeon coaches and players had to run around to pick up the ball.
Daejeon conceded one more goal in extra time in the second half and collapsed 1-4. Daejeon coach Lee Min-seong clicked his tongue, saying, “I don’t think the ball boy’s time delay is a bit much in a game where many fans came.” Gangwon coach Choi Yong-soo said, “The home advantage is everywhere in the world. As the director, I am not involved.” This head-to-head is Daejeon home.
