Sure win! I was ordered to defeat the mighty Japan
U23 Asian Cup Today, we have to beat Japan in the 3rd group match and take first place in the group. The trip to Paris is smooth, and we were completely defeated in the quarterfinals two years ago. Looking forward to the scoring streak of Sergeant Lee Young-jun, who is determined to get revenge.
Lee Young-jun, a striker for the U-23 Korean national soccer team, scored three goals in the first and second matches of Group B of the U-23 Asian Cup group stage, which is being held in Doha, Qatar, in conjunction with the Paris Olympic qualifiers. Lee Young-jun, who belongs to Gimcheon Sangmu and is an active soldier, performs a ‘raising hand salute’ ceremony after scoring. Lee Young-jun salutes after scoring a goal in the second group match against China on the 19th.
Korean soccer, attempting to participate in the Olympics for the 10th time in a row, will face its arch-rival Japan in the Asian qualifiers for the Paris Olympics for the top spot in the group.
The U-23 soccer team, led by coach Hwang Seon-hong, will play the third and final match of Group B of the U-23 Asian Cup against Japan in Doha, Qatar, at 10 p.m. on the 22nd. 16 countries participated in this competition, which also serves as an Asian qualifier for the Paris Olympics, and the first to third place teams receive direct tickets to Paris. The fourth-place team must win an intercontinental playoff against Guinea in Africa to advance to the Paris Olympics. 슬롯사이트
Korea and Japan, who belong to Group B along with China and the United Arab Emirates, have won both the first and second group matches and have six points. The two teams, tied for first place in Group B due to the same goal difference of +3, have confirmed their advancement to the quarterfinals, where the first and second places in each group will advance regardless of the result of the third match. However, the team that advances to the quarterfinals by finishing second in the group will have a difficult road to the semifinals. The second place in Group B in the tournament bracket will face the first place in Group A in the quarterfinals, and the host nation, Qatar, has confirmed first place in Group A.
Korea is pinning its hopes on ‘solver’ Lee Young-jun’s scoring tally. Lee Young-jun, a tall (190cm) striker and a sergeant at Gimcheon Sangmu in the professional soccer K-League 1, led the team to a 1-0 victory by scoring the winning goal with a header in extra time in the second half in the first match of the group stage against the United Arab Emirates. In the second game against China, he scored with his right foot in the 34th minute of the first half and with his left foot in the 24th minute of the second half, contributing greatly to the 2-0 victory. All three goals Korea scored in the two group stage games came from Lee Young-jun’s head and toes. The ‘raised hand salute’ ceremony shown by Lee Young-jun, an active-duty soldier, after scoring a goal is becoming a hot topic among spectators visiting the stadium in Qatar and foreign media reporters. 안전놀이터
There were concerns in the defensive line. Korea’s starting center back Byun Jun-su (Gwangju) will not be able to play in the game against Japan due to accumulated warnings. Byun Jun-su, who is also the national team captain, played full-time in both the first and second group matches. Center back Seo Seong-gwan (Bucheon), who started in both the first and second games, suffered a thigh injury in the fourth minute of the second half of the second game against China and had to leave the field. Korea won both the first and second group matches without conceding a goal, but their defense showed signs of instability. Goalkeeper Kim Jeong-hoon (Jeonbuk) made a good save to overcome the risk of conceding goals and leave a clean sheet.
Japan is evaluated as having the best strength among the participating countries in this tournament. Both the player’s individual skills and organizational skills are solid. Coach Hwang said, “Japan’s players have worked together for a long time to strengthen their teamwork. “In terms of organizational ability, they are the best among the teams participating in this tournament,” he said. “We must be wary of Japan’s forward pressure, build-up, and speed.” At the same time, he said, “It is clear that it is a difficult situation, but I will try to find a way.” Japan has been working together for a long time by forming a team with players two years younger than the standard age since the 2022 U-23 Asian Cup with the goal of winning a medal at the Paris Olympics, which is for under-23 players. Korea was defeated 0-3 in the quarterfinals of the 2022 U-23 Asian Cup.
If Korea and Japan are unable to decide a winner during the 90-minute regular time of the first and second halves in the final third game of the group stage of this tournament, first and second place in the group will be decided through a penalty shootout without overtime according to the tournament regulations. 토토사이트 추천
