Ulsan HD introduced Nanji-type grass at Gangdong Football Stadium, but national midfielder Jung Woo-young said there is still a lot to solve. Will Ulsan serve as a test to awaken the controversy over the "Nondureung grass" of Korean soccer.

On the 17th, Jung Woo-young shared his thoughts on the recent introduction of the Nanji type of Ulsan's Gangdong soccer field through his SNS.

Jung Woo-young said, "I saw an article today called Resolving the Ulsan Lawn Controversy. In conclusion, none of it has been resolved. First of all, thank you for your efforts to improve infrastructure by replacing the entire lawn. I think it is a good example for the K-League leading club called Ulsan to take the lead in improving infrastructure first."

"After waiting for six months and training for the first time at the new grass-replaced training site today, I was not in a situation where I could play soccer properly yet. I think it will be more important to manage the grass steadily in the future than to replace the grass," he said.
Ulsan is the defending champion of the K-League. It won three consecutive games last season, establishing a new dynasty. Now, it is challenging to win four consecutive games, and trying to solidify its dynasty. However, it is known that the team is in a poor environment ahead of this season. Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), was not able to train properly after having left its training camp. Its home stadium, Ulsan Munsu World Cup Stadium, and training ground, Gangdong Football Stadium also suffered damage from scorching heat and heavy rain from last season. Ulsan continued to work on renovations, but suffered from some difficulties.

The team also introduced the first "middle-sized lawn" for a Korean professional soccer team on Wednesday. "In recent years, Korea's summer temperature has risen sharply and the existing grass has been damaged due to prolonged heat waves, making it difficult for almost all K-League clubs to proceed with their training sessions normally," Ulsan said in a press release. "Before the heat wave approached in earnest, Ulsan introduced a new type of orchid lawn that is resistant to heat and humidity for the first time in a Korean professional soccer team."

According to Ulsan's explanation, 'rumpy grass' can grow even in high-temperature weather, so it can minimize the deterioration of grass conditions in hot weather. The orchid grass, which grows vigorously from the roots, is expected to alleviate the phenomenon of the existing transplant grass by its "root growth" characteristics. Ulsan's introduction of a new type of orchid lawn to the Gangdong soccer field is expected to minimize the sense of heterogeneity in the use of players as the shape and density of leaves are similar to the existing Korean paper grass.
Ulsan, which was heavily criticized last season, paid a lot of attention to the grass of the stadium, but it seems that it will still take time to narrow the gap between the players and their thoughts. Jung Woo-young thanked the club for their hard work, but said that the future is more important. "I think steady management from now on is even more important as we have invested a lot of money and time to replace it. In order for the K-League to continue to be successful and to foster good players in the future, it needs to improve the basic training facility infrastructure first," he said.

"We don't want fancy facilities. We need to have basics," he said. "Players who promote Korea to the World Cup and the world stage all start with the K-League. 스포츠토토 This is a grass issue that has been repeated for several years. There have been many voices raised, but none of them has changed. Rather, it is regrettable that the situation is getting worse, blaming the climate. During the World Cup qualifying round, the team experienced countless times that its performance was not good due to poor grass conditions, and I am still watching it. It is the first problem that the entire Korean soccer team has to work hard to change," he pointed out.
