Hwang Seon-Hong Ho Bad news before even starting Following Yang Hyun-jun, Kim Ji-soo also cannot be selected
The Korean Olympic soccer team (U-23 national soccer team), led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, is shouting out his fighting spirit at Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 on the morning of the 5th before leaving for the 2024 AFC U23 Asian Cup, which will be held as the final Asian qualifier for the Paris Olympics.
The Korean under-23 (U23) national team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, faced negative news even before the Olympic qualifiers. Following striker Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic), defender Kim Ji-su (Brentford) was also excluded due to team circumstances.
On the 8th, the Korea Football Association (KFA) said, “We have finally informed you that Kim Jin-soo, who was included in the 23 finalists for the Olympic preliminary round, will not be selected due to the circumstances of his team, Brentford,” and added, “Accordingly, Kim Dong-jin (Pohang) was selected as a replacement, and on the 8th, “I am planning to leave for Dubai,” he said.
Seon-Hong Hwang will participate in the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar U23 Asian Cup, which also serves as a men’s soccer qualifier for the Paris Olympics, and attempt to advance to the Olympic finals for the 10th consecutive time, something no one in the world has achieved.
However, bad news continues even before the competition begins. Coach Hwang announced a 23-player entry, including 5 overseas players, but as Yang Hyun-jun was unable to join due to his team’s circumstances, he selected Hong Si-hoo (Incheon) as a replacement on the day of departure on the 5th and departed for the base camp in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). .
In addition, Kim Ji-soo, an overseas member, received final notification that he could not be called up on the same day, so he has already been selected as a second replacement.
As a result, contrary to the original plan, only three overseas players remain: Bae Jun-ho (Stoke City, England), Kim Min-woo (Dusseldorf, Germany), and Jeong Sang-bin (Minnesota United, USA). It is still unclear whether the remaining overseas faction will join, and even if they do join, ‘late joining’ is inevitable. 파워볼사이트
In addition, it cannot be guaranteed that domestic faction Baek Sang-hoon (Seoul) will also join. Baek Sang-hoon, who is concentrating on treatment in Korea for a knee injury, plans to make a final decision on whether to be called up after observing his recovery. The national team will undergo training to adapt to the Middle East in the UAE and then move to Doha, Qatar, on the 10th to prepare for the first match against the UAE, which will be held at 0:30 a.m. on the 17th. Korea, a member of Group B, will play against the UAE on the 17th, followed by China on the 19th and Japan on the 22nd. The team that ranks in the top three of the competition earns a ticket to the Paris Olympics, and the team that ranks fourth must play an intercontinental playoff against Guinea. 19가이드03
