Ulsan, a professional soccer team, is challenging to confirm the championship today (1st) against Gangwon, the second-ranked team in the league.

Attention is focusing on whether Ulsan will win for the third consecutive year over the confusion of replacing the head coach in the middle of the season, and Gangwon's rise is also scary.

Ulsan, which won the championship for the second year in a row, was also considered a strong favorite this year.

[Hong Myung-bo / Then Ulsan coach (last February): There are still some shortcomings to achieve that goal (three consecutive losses), but....]

It cruised relatively even with the emergence of ambush such as Gimcheon and Gangwon, but suddenly in the middle of the season, the stray bullet of the national soccer team coach Klinsmann fell to Ulsan.

Coach Hong Myung-bo, who believed apart from the controversy over the appointment process, left the team amid fierce competition for the lead, prompting criticism of "Pinoki Hong," and the team fell to fourth place in the unstable agency system.

{Emergency Firefighter' Director Kim Pan-gon immediately worked.

Ulsan settled in the final round as No. 1 with 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 10 games under Kim Pan-gon.

If you win a match against Gangwon, which has been followed by three consecutive K-League wins, you will spread the gap to seven points and become the champion for three consecutive years regardless of the remaining games.

[Kim Pan Gon / Ulsan Coach (K League Final Round Media Day on the 16th of last month): Since we came to the final round, if we do our best until the end, we will be able to break the goal we aimed at first]

Ulsan has met Gangwon three times this season and won two times, especially at home.It is especially reassuring that Joo Min-gyu,

'Jupo', woke up from his silence by opening the scoring in 106 days.

However, Gangwon's momentum with "Young Gun" Yang Min-hyuk, who even wore the national flag for his MVP-class performance this season, is also strong.

[Yang Min-hyuk / Kangwon FC striker (26th last month): We didn't think of many possibilities at the beginning of the season, but looking at how we're doing, we're desperate, so I think we have an 80% chance of winning]

If Gangwon beats Ulsan and trails by one point, the K-League is expected to continue its game in the fog until the end, where the direction of the winning team is unknown.
