The Olympic team led by coach Hwang Seon-hong defeated Kyrgyzstan 1-0 in the second match of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup preliminary group stage held at the Changwon Football Center on the 9th. We have somewhat escaped the shock of the complete defeat in the first game against Qatar (0-2 loss). The national team secured 3 points and took first place in the group.
After the Qatar match, “We need to solve the monotony of flank attacks. Coach Hwang, who said, “There is a lack of detail,” formed a completely different offensive team than in the first game. He placed Kim Shin-jin at the front line and placed Jeong Sang-bin (Minnesota) and Hong Yun-sang (Pohang Steelers) on both sides. Kim Shin-jin (FC Seoul) not only fought for aerial balls, but also came down to the second line and worked hard to link up. Then the side opened. 토토사이트
Jeong Sang-bin continued to attack the right flank with explosive speed and aggressive breakthroughs. Hong Yun-sang also confused Kyrgyzstan’s defense with his unique instantaneous movements as well as breaking through the side regardless of his position. In fact, he frequently switched positions with Oh Jae-hyuk (Jeonbuk Hyundai), who moved in the free roll, and actively moved around the first and second lines.
Moreover, in the 3rd minute of the first half, Jeong Sang-bin and Hong Yun-sang combined to score. Jeong Sang-bin passed a defender with a break from the right side and crossed, and Hong Yun-sang, who was running in from the other side, finished with a right-footed shot that hit the net.
With Hong Yun-sang and Sang-bin Jeong active, defenders Park Chang-woo (Jeonbuk) and Lee Tae-seok (Seoul) on both sides also actively participated in the attack. After the game, Coach Hwang also said, “You need to be bold when entering the offensive zone. It doesn’t seem like there are many decisive actions. “We need to make more of those aspects,” he said, but added, “It seems that Jeong Sang-bin and Hong Yun-sang moved actively and found a way out (of the attack). “Sangbin Jeong did his best even in a particularly difficult situation,” he said.
However, anxiety in the third line and central defense line existed that day as well. Coach Hwang selected midfielder Kwon Hyuk-gyu (Celtic) as a one-ball strike on this day. We coexisted by assigning Baek Sang-hoon (Seoul), who is very active, as Kwon Hyuk-gyu’s partner. Overall it wasn’t bad. However, there were several missed passes, especially during the rear build-up process, leading to counterattacks. Coach Hwang said, “There must be control in the midfield. Kwon Hyuk-gyu plays a big role. There were many difficulties, including time difference. I think I did my part well. “I think we need to discover more midfield players with creativity,” he emphasized.
The Olympic team, which breathed a sigh of relief after defeating Kyrgyzstan, will play its final match against Myanmar on the 12th.
