Hwang Sun-hong 'Time to Worry'... Should K-league Joo Min-kyu, Lee Seung-woo and Jeong Ho-yeon be Selected?
Top scorer Joo Min-kyu, a candidate to solve the national team's absence of a striker, midfielders Lee Seung-woo and Jeong Ho-yeon are also impressive... Right fullback Hwang Jae-won also pays attention.
Will Joo Min-kyu (Ulsan), the top scorer in the K League last season, be able to receive a call from coach Hwang Seon-hong?
The Korean national soccer team, with Hwang Sun-hong of the Olympic team deployed as temporary firefighters, will play two consecutive Group C matches against Thailand on the 21st and 26th of this month in the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round. 카지노사이트 모음
A ‘time of worry’ has come for Coach Hwang, who is announcing the national team convocation list at the Soccer Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 11th.
Unlike former coach Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany), who was criticized for not discovering K-League players while mainly staying overseas, Coach Hwang immediately formed the coaching staff with head coach Michael Kim, coaches Cho Yong-hyung and Jeong Jo-guk, goalkeeper coach Kim Il-jin, and physical coach Lee Jae-hong.
He went on a business trip to the K League.
Coach Hwang watched the game between Jeonbuk Hyundai and Daejeon Hana Citizen held at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on the 1st, and the next day, he visited Gwangju Soccer Stadium and watched the game between Gwangju FC and FC Seoul.
Coach Hwang Sun-hong and the coaching staff also watched the Incheon United-Suwon FC match and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League (ACL) quarterfinals between Ulsan HD and Jeonbuk and made every effort to check the domestic team.
Coach Hwang plans to draw up the final list after looking at the K-League games scheduled for this weekend.
The key is how many K-League players, who have been neglected by former coach Klinsmann, will be able to join Coach Hwang's March national team.
Soccer fans are hoping for the selection of Ju Min-gyu of Ulsan, Seung-woo Lee of Suwon, and Ho-yeon Jeong of Gwangju.
Coach Hwang visited the ACL match between Ulsan and Jeonbuk and saw striker Ju Min-gyu with his own eyes.
Joo Min-kyu was named to the preliminary list (50 players) for the 2015 East Asian Cup during the time of former coach Uli Stielike (Germany), but was not selected in the final list, and since then he has only been selected by Paulo Bento (Portugal) and coach Klinsmann. I couldn't even wear the Taegeuk symbol.
With Hwang Ui-jo (Alaniaspor), who was suspected of illegal filming, being temporarily excluded from the national team, the issue of the absence of a striker in the 2023 AFC Asian Cup continued to be pointed out.
As even Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) injured his hamstring (muscle behind the thigh) and it is unclear whether he will participate in the warm-up match in March, fans are paying attention to whether Joo Min-kyu, whose goal-scoring ability is a weapon, will be given the opportunity this time.
The same goes for Suwon midfielder Lee Seung-woo.
Lee Seung-woo, who was called by coach Shin Tae-yong and participated in the 2018 Russia World Cup, was included in the call-up list after coach Bento took office, but his opportunities to participate gradually decreased and he was neglected from the national team after 2019.
Lee Seung-woo and Joo Min-kyu, who joined K-League Suwon in 2022, are ‘Yui-han’ players who have scored double-digit scores for two consecutive years in the K-League.
Based on his strengths such as sensible play and aggressive dribbling, he was mainly deployed in the midfield and second line, shaking up the opponent's camp and showing off his scoring ability.
In the match against Incheon on the 2nd, he was brought in as a substitute in the 10th minute of the second half in front of the Korean Football Association's Power Strengthening Committee Chairman Jeong Hae-sung and Head Coach Michael Kim, opening up an offensive path, and in the extra time of the second half, he scored a penalty kick to end this season's heavy hitter. I put it in.
It is also attracting attention whether the young players who were called by coach Hwang Seon-hong and won gold medals at last year's Hangzhou Asian Games will also be selected for coach Hwang Seon-hong's A national team.
In particular, the recent performance of young gun Jeong Ho-yeon, born in 2000, and Daegu FC defender Hwang Jae-won, born in 2002, who are the core of Gwangju's midfield, is good.
Coach Hwang Sun-hong, who was in charge of the A national team, visited the opening game between Gwangju and Seoul and once again inspected Jeong Ho-yeon, whose skills were in full bloom.
In this game, Jeong Ho-yeon played an active role as the center of the offensive development by relieving Seoul's pressure, and laid the foundation for a 2-0 victory by cutting off a pass from Seoul's midfielders.
Defender Hwang Jae-won is also mentioned as a right fullback resource who will be responsible for the future of the national team.
It is assessed that Hwang Jae-won, with his strong activity level and sharp crosses and breakthroughs, is suitable as a replacement resource for Kim Tae-hwan.
