Coach Hong Myung-bo met with reporters before training at Mir Stadium in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province on the 22nd. At this meeting, he said, `The three players are important to us, but they are also very important to our team. We have decided to call off the convocation." He then nailed "There is no alternative selection".
Lee Kang-in and Baek Seung-ho were injured in the match against Oman. Jung Seung-hyun has been injured during training since being called up. With the departure of the three players, the national team cannot avoid a power vacuum.
◇ Q&A with Director Hong Myung-bo
-Lee Kang-in, Baek Seung-ho, and Jung Seung-hyun are injured?
▶First of all, after the last match against Oman, Baek Seung-ho and Lee Kang-in were injured, and Jung Seung-hyun was out of the game because he was a little hurt before that. After that game, I thought Lee Kang-in would be very severe. However, the results of yesterday's test were not as severe as expected.
Today, we convened and talked together face to face before coming out here. He has fully confirmed his attitude, attitude, and mindset to play in the national team. However, from our point of view, that player is also important to our team but also very important to our team, so we decided to cancel the call-up of the three players, including the two players, Jung Seung-hyun. Now I'm going to leave the three players out and prepare for the rest of Jordan games.
-What about the replacement?
▶I'm not doing it.
-We need to make a new combination
▶Hwang In-beom is back. However, Hwang In-beom also had some time zones that the club wanted as we continued to communicate with the club. We will continue to communicate with each other on that part and decide the same for the first game. Since it's been 4 months since we've been training together. The performance is not very good. For the rest of the year, I will make the players in a very good condition for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.I think we have to prepare for the next game by sharing good scenes and bad scenes in the game against Oman with the players.
Oman has been a four-backer and played as a five-backer. Jordan is also in that form. I think we will be better systematically.
-We are missing key players, while Oman comes out as the best.
▶In the case of the last game, the three offensive players, the 10th player, the 11th player, did not come out. Player No. 11 is now a little on the last side of the second half. The players are expected to travel this time.
I think I have a very good ability. We have the individual abilities of the players, but I think our defense has no choice but to defend as a whole with the system.So in the case of the last game, personally, our defenders didn't find that big of a problem in terms of organization. Of course, he lost points, but now he will give more confidence to the players. Also, what is important to us is that we need to prepare well for the build-up for two days.
-The boldness of the players has declined.
▶There are some things like that. The players who have been playing so far are now missing two players from the team's defenders. Since two new people have joined, it is not easy to train for a day or two and fully demonstrate the ability of the organizational build-up we used to have.
I have to work harder and I don't think the movement in front of me was very good in the last game.
Those parts should be resolved a little more, but the players in the back also move the ball forward a little more smoothly, but I think that part did not go well.
So I think I need to prepare for that part for the rest of the time.
-What's your plan to put in a new face?
▶What's a little disappointing is that we had some plans in the last Oman game, and in that plan, some new players were expected to play, but suddenly, Baek Seung-ho's injury and Lee Kang-in's quick input of time were a little off.
We're constantly looking at it.However, our new young players are now coming to Korea from Europe, and for example, they seem to have a little more difficulty than experienced seniors.I can't tell you about the time difference. But personally, we're preparing now to refresh and put in a player like that whenever we have a player like that.
-Other teams are chasing.
▶There is a regret. Not only me, but also our fans, especially our players, are disappointed. Of course, if we won two games and were decided quickly, everyone, the team and the players, could help us grow a little more. However, the current situation is not like that, but we have two confrontations now, so the most important part is that we should never give them a point. But I'm not rushing because I'm being chased too much. First of all, the most important thing is to finish the game well because it's in June after the Jordan game.
