“It’s not just the players who went to the World Cup under the age of 20 (U-20) are good at it.”
The Korean men’s soccer team, which is trying to win the tournament three times in a row at the Hangzhou Asian Games, started a three-day training session at the NFC (Football Team Training Center) in Paju, Gyeonggi-do on the 15th.
Um Won-sang (Ulsan) and Lee Jae-ik (Seoul E-Land), who collaborated on the runner-up myth at the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup held in Poland four years ago, stood in front of the reporters on behalf of the players.
At that time, Um Won-sang was active as a joker in the second half, and Lee Jae-ik was the main defender and kept the rear.
Along with them, Polish members such as Ko Jae-hyeon (Daegu), Choi Jun (Busan), Lee Kwang-yeon (Gangwon), and Jo Young-wook (Gimcheon) have grown well and are being called by Hwang Seon-hong, the AG national team coach.
Eom Won-sang and Lee Jae-ik said in unison that they forgot the memory of four years ago.
When asked if the experience in Poland helped him to strengthen his organizational skills, Um Won-sang said, “If you look at the roster, many players have changed. It’s not just our U-20 World Cup players who are doing well. We need to understand the trend,” he said.먹튀검증
“Many players can change again while preparing for the Asian Games,” he added.
Lee Jae-ik also said, “I definitely have a close relationship with the members of the U-20 World Cup,” he said.
At the same time, he said, “It doesn’t matter whether you are from the U-20 national team or not in Hwang Seon-hong.”
The scene where luxurious members such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Hwang Eui-jo (Seoul) won gold medals at the 2019 Jakarta/Palembang Asian Games is still vivid in the memories of fans.
Now, winning the gold medal in men’s soccer at the Asian Games is taken for granted.
It is not a small burden for Hwang Seon-Hong-Ho.
Eom Won-sang said, “It is true that we are a strong team in Asia. It is good for us to feel the pressure to win.” I think there will be good results,” he said.
Just in time, their ‘juniors’, the current U-20 national team juniors, are taking on a new challenge.
The FIFA U-20 World Cup will be held in Argentina from the 20th.
Lee Jae-ik ordered ‘winning mentality’ to his juniors.
Lee Jae-ik said, “We achieved good results thanks to (Lee) Kang-in instilling in us the mindset that we should continue to aim for the championship.”
