Hong Myung-bo, who overcame the crisis of the Jordan expedition by discovering young blood.
This time, we meet with the enemy Iraq.
He is in second place after Korea with two scoreless points and two wins and one draw in three games.
A de facto first-place match, if you win, you will have the possibility of a solo lead.
We need to focus all our capabilities to break through Iraq’s salty water defense.
It was a home game, but they came together with a determination not to repeat the match against Palestine, which had a shock 0-0 draw.
Coach Hong Myung-bo, who forgets the external controversy and focuses only on the team and the game, once again vowed to win.
(Coach Hong Myung-bo) “As a team, it is important at what point you score. In the match against Jordan, he showed good movement when he had team play or ball and when he did not. Tomorrow is a different opponent. We don’t know how it will flow. We are preparing to do it differently when it is not good. We have to watch the game.”
Kim Min-jae, who took over as interim captain, united with the will to repay him with no runs.
(Kim Min-jae) “It’s a match against second place at home. It’s a six-point game. It’s best if you bring both content and results, but first of all, bringing results is the most important thing. I’ll focus on that.”
Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan and Um Ji-sung were out due to injuries, but Bae Joon-ho and Oh Hyun-kyu performed well, and Lee Seung-woo, who got a chance after a long time, is also grinding his teeth.
The environment is good. He seeks victory at Mir Stadium in Yongin, which is as soft as a carpet, leaving behind the controversial Seoul World Cup Stadium due to poor grass. 안전놀이터
Thailand, Oman and Jordan have proven that they have performed better on good grass.
(Lee Kang-in-Jordan away game) “I am so grateful (to the Korea Football Association) for allowing me to do it on a good lawn for the player. I think we should strive for better results on that good lawn.”
Hong Myung-bo, who played like an away game at home, will be able to play with enthusiastic support this time, and all eyes are on Yongin.
