For some television viewers, size apparently does matter.
Back at 'home': Ulsan HD FC head coach Kim Pan-gon with striker Kim Min-jun during a press conference in Johor. - BernamaThe former national coach is in Johor to lead K-League 1 champions Ulsan HD against Johor Darul Ta’zim in the fourth match of the AFC Champions League Elite East Zone at the Sultan Ibrahim Stadium in Iskandar Puteri on Tuesday .
For Pan-gon, the match will surely invoke many fond memories, as he was loved by the Malaysian crowd and worked with the majority of the JDT players who played for the national team during his time as Harimau Malaya coach from 2022 to 2024."I"m excited to be back here and meet all the national players, whom I love. But I'm here with a mission and my team will be competitive to provide an exciting game for everyone. We will not step back," said Pan-gon.
"I know very well how strong JDT are at home. It is their fortress, it is not easy for any teams who come here. We are aware of how tough it can be." Ulsan Hyundai are the K-League 1 champions for the third straight time and will go for the domestic double when they take on Pohang Steelers in the Korean FA Cup on Nov 30.
But in the ACLE, they could not find their roar as they lost their first three matches against Kawasaki Frontale , Yokohama F Marinos and Vissel Kobe .
