“I hope it’s not a serious injury.”

The Korean U-24 soccer team, led by head coach Hwang Seon-hong, won 3-1 in the first match against China held at the Jinhua Sports Center in China on the 15th (Korean time).

Korea finished the first half 0-0. However, as the second half started, Hwang replaced all the attackers, and that choice led to success. Um Won-sang scored a multi-goal and Jung Woo-young scored a wonder goal, opening three goals for China.메이저사이트

After the game, coach Hwang said, “I think it was a good match for both Korea and China. There are parts that are satisfactory, but there are parts that are unsatisfactory. “I need to improve a little more,” he said. “I want to have a good match by preparing and supplementing in the second game. It helped a lot,” he said.

This is Korea, where many players were knocked down and injured by China’s rough play. In the end, injuries also occurred. Eom Won-sang, who scored multiple goals, injured his ankle and was eventually replaced by Choi Jun.

Coach Hwang said, “I always order the players in the attacking line to move aggressively. Eom Won-sang’s two goals today are a positive factor for our team,” he said, “unfortunately, he sprained his ankle and was replaced again due to an injury. I hope it’s not a serious injury,” he said.

It was the second half in which he scored three goals, but also conceded. It was an obvious line-out that definitely felt like a misjudgment, but the housekeepers were all Chinese, and this biased judgment was unfair, but it was also something to be endured. In addition, Korea, which stopped play even though the referee’s whistle was not blown, was also a situation that must be looked back on.

Coach Hwang said, “I think we responded well to not conceding a goal in the first half. Conceding a goal in the second half is something to celebrate for China, but it’s unfortunate for us. As a director, I am quite dissatisfied. I think I need to make up for that part,” he said. “I wanted to finish the game without a goal. The loss is unsatisfactory,” he stressed.

Regardless of the match results, coach Hwang appointed many players and tested them as much as possible. There was also a score difference, and as there were not many opportunities for evaluation before the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the experimental nature was strong.

Director Hwang said, “We have not decided on the best 11 yet, and the combination and experimental nature were strong. It’s a situation where you have to test several players. So I made a lot of changes.” “There were good parts, but there were also parts where the organizational balance was not good. Good and bad coexisted,” he explained.

Korea’s ultimate goal is a gold medal after all. Korea is the champion at both the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. Now, I challenge myself to win three consecutive championships, which no one has achieved.

“Our goal is clear. Both the players and I have a strong desire to win that cannot be expressed in words. However, the process of winning requires a lot of sacrifice and preparation. There are still many areas lacking. For the remaining 100 days, we need to make up for it so that we can have a competitive edge in the Asian Games.”
