Kang Sang-woo, who made a goal that gave Ulsan HDFC a valuable victory due to a series of winless games, said he was fortunate to be able to meet Kim Pan-gon's expectations.

Ulsan, which belongs to Kang, defeated Daegu 1-0 in the ninth round of Hana Bank's K League 1 2025 at iM Bank Park in Daegu at 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Ulsan secured Kang's finishing goal at the 21st minute of the second half to accumulate three points. With the victory, Ulsan has emerged from a winless streak that has continued for four consecutive games.

After the game, Kang Sang-woo said, "Today's game was so important to our team, and I thought it was meaningless except for victory," adding, "I'm so grateful to win such a game, and it was a good day to score a goal in that victory."

As for the winning goal scene, he said, "I thought I should hit the shot as soon as I touched it. I didn't feel that I hit it well, but the moment I hit the opponent's foot, I thought, 'I will go in,'" he said, expressing his intuition that the goal would explode.

He also responded that he was happy to meet coach Kim Pan-gon's expectations. Kang Sang-woo said, "The coach praised me for remembering me in Pohang and being a defender but showing good performance offensively," adding, "Even when I came to the team, he said he would leave it to me to make use of its strengths, and I was sorry for not being able to repay that belief."

"The coach continued to give me courage despite the difficult situation, and I was encouraged by the words, 'You are a good player, so you can play a good game,'" he said, adding, "I'm glad I repaid that belief a little bit with today's game." 스포츠토토

He thanked not only Kim Pan-gon but also all the Ulsan team members. "I am grateful that the coaching staff and the players all helped me adjust," Kang said. "I think I got used to it soccer and life, but there were some difficulties because the results didn't come out. Nevertheless, I think today's result came out because the whole team maintained an atmosphere of being together rather than complaining."
