Eum Won-sang “This time, don’t get hurt before the muster”
Ulsan HD’s K League 1 flanker Uhm Won-sang celebrated his return to the national team after nearly two years with a goal.
Uhm Won-sang scored the equalizer in the 36th minute of the K League 1 15th round away match against Incheon United at the Incheon Football Stadium on Monday to give Ulsan a 1-0 victory after the teams were trailing 0-1.
Ulsan struggled in the first half against Incheon and fell behind to Mpoku’s goal in the third minute of the second half, but Uhm Won-sang, who came on as a substitute in the 20th minute, provided a spark of energy to help the team avoid defeat.
The goal also marked a personal return to the national team.
On June 27, Uhm Won-sang was named to the squad for the second leg of the North American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America.
He earned the call-up to the A team after playing in seven A-match matches until the East Asian Football Confederation (EAFF) E-1 Championship in July 2022.
Uhm Won-sang was also called up by then-interim coach Hwang Sun-hong during the A-Match in March this year, but was unable to join the squad after injuring his ankle in a match for his club ahead of the call-up, and Kim Do-hoon, who has since taken over as interim head coach, included his name in the list.
Uhm Won-sang, who proved his national team eligibility with his fourth goal of the season, said, “I’m grateful to be included in the national team. The new coach picked me, so I’ll have to work harder,” he smiled.
“When we were reviewing the previous game, we talked about our lack of numbers in crossing situations, so it was right to go in with that in mind,” said Rubikson, who converted a side cross in front of goal. Coach Hong Myung-bo also told me to focus on penetration when I 토토사이트 came in,” he said.
“I want to show a lot of penetration in the national team, such as using space,” he said, adding, “When I go to the national team, I always have the attitude of learning, and even though I can’t play the full 90 minutes, I will learn a lot from the bench and through training.”
Ulsan head coach Hong Myung-bo said, “Uhm Won-sang is in good form right now and is a resource that the national team needs. She’s in good shape and is psychologically strong with the national team, and she showed a good performance in a short amount of time.”
Ahead of the call-up on February 2, Uhm Won-sang’s biggest concern is 카지노사이트 추천 injury. He doesn’t want a repeat of March to happen again.
Ulsan will face rivals Jeonbuk Hyundai, who have a new coach in Kim Doo-hyun, on the first of next month before the national team is called up.
“In March, I was excited about the national team and didn’t prepare well for the game, which led to my injury, so I’m going to be cautious this time,” said Uhm Won-sang. “I’m still nervous,” he said, “but if I worry too much, I might not be able to play when I need to, so I won’t worry too much and will face them stronger.
