Round 30 of the K League 1 match between Ulsan and Gangwon. The mood in the Ulsan locker room after halftime was somber.
Ulsan head coach Kim Pan-gon, who realized that Gangwon was losing the game, pulled out the 'Strengthening the Kingship' card to rouse his players' fighting spirit.
“The feeling I get is that we're losing 50-50. What are you going to do about the guys who are challenging for the kingship? We challenged, Gangwon challenged, you guys challenged for the kingship. You guys are kings, you guys are kings!”
Was it the kingship theory? Ulsan defeated Gangwon 2-0 that day, extending their lead over second-place Gangwon to three points.
More than a month later, Ulsan and Gangwon are still in first and second place, but the gap has widened to four points.
Ulsan's “consolidation of the kingship” looks set to continue, 카지노사이트 but challenger Gangwon's coach Yoon Jung-hwan has been quietly preparing for a rebellion.
Having already seen Kim Pan-gon's locker room video, Yoon scoffed at Ulsan's 'kingship theory'.
“Well, if he thinks like that, I'm thinking about being a rational person, or rebelling, or something like that, and I've personally thought about something like that (rebellion) that could overcome (Ulsan).”
Yoon insists that the pressure is on Ulsan now, and that Gangwon, which has already achieved its best finish since its inception, has nothing to lose.
“As a challenger, we don't have any pressure if we don't win, but Ulsan is in a situation where it could be more pressure if they don't win. We are preparing well without any pressure, and we are only thinking about the game in front of us.”
Yoon has another motivation: re-signing. His contract with Gangwon ends at the end of this year, and the terms of his contract will depend on the final outcome of this season.
“It (re-signing) depends on what I do.... “I can't tell you everything right now, but we have to negotiate the salary again, and people like us can only be in the position of waiting for the results,” he said, adding that he hopes to achieve the best results and wait for Gangwon's response.
Ulsan's 'consolidation' or Gangwon's 'rebellion': Ulsan and Gangwon will meet for the final time this season on the first of next month for the one and only championship.
