We are encouraging fans who come to the stadium to get excited, shout out loud, and turn upside down. Modern 온라인카지노 soccer plays offensive soccer while taking risks. Negative soccer or passive soccer is disappearing. It is chasing the trend. I hope more spectators will come and Ulsan will become the most crowded team in Korea."
