Ulsan HD head coach Kim Pan-gon bowed again, saying, "There is no excuse" for the limitations of getting smaller on the Asian stage.

Ulsan was completely defeated by Johor Darlle Takjim (Malaysia) 0-3 in the fourth round of the 2024-2025 Asian Champions League Elite (ACLE) League Stage at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Johor, Malaysia on the 5th.

With the loss, Ulsan lost four consecutive ACLE games, making it impossible for it to advance to the round of 16. Among the 12 teams in East Asia, Ulsan is the only team that came in last place after losing all four games, and has not scored a point. 메이저사이트
"I think it's too bad. We didn't win any points and we are in a scoreless situation. That's why I feel sorry for the Ulsan fans," Kim said after the match. "It must have been a very difficult journey for the players. It was hard to come all the way here. Above all, I want to say sorry to the Ulsan fans."

Manager Kim pointed out that the defeat was the aftermath of the match against Gangwon FC, which confirmed its K League 1 title early on the 1st. "I think it had a little impact. We played a match against Johor five days after the match against Gangwon FC. The flight time was six hours and I got on the bus for an hour and a half," he said. "But I think everyone is in the same condition. Unfortunately, his performance did not come out."

Nevertheless, he has to admit that he failed to score even a single goal in four games. "I honestly feel sorry for the lack of goals. It's not that we didn't have any chances. Still, we need to create more clear chances to get out of the scoreless game," Kim said.

Kim's homework is a reversal of the remaining four games. "I need to study more. During the competition between ACLE and the league, there were some tight schedules and some variables such as the occurrence of injuries. I think ACLE is what overcomes these variables," he said.

"I will focus more on the next game than on disappointment. Now I can concentrate on the next game of ACLE. I will do my best to win points and points in the remaining games so that I can advance to the tournament without giving up until the end," he said.
