The Korean national team has been unveiled to compete in the 'University Korea-Japan match' where pride is at stake.

The Korea-Japan match will be held at 1 p.m. on the 20th at Todoroki Stadium in Kawasaki, Japan.

Coach Park said in the 61st Chungye University Football Federation match held in Tongyeong, Gyeongsangnam-do earlier this month that `The players who will play in the Denso Cup were mainly composed of the 3rd and 4th graders. As soon as the plan was announced, it was organized into a squad mainly for the third and fourth graders.




The striker was Lim Chan-hyup (Sun Gospel General Assembly) and Kim Jang-woo (Sungsil University). The 10 midfielders were filled with Kim Ha-min (Sunmoon University), Park Chan-i (Korea University), Park Hyung-bin (Inje University), Cho Min-seok (Gyeonggi University), Ahn Jun-kyu (Hongik University), Jang Si-heon (Aju University), Shin Jeong-hoon (Sangji University), Park Gun-hee (Yonsei University), Kim Yong-min (Ulsan University), and Lee Chan-ho (Gwangwoon University).

Coach Park said, `Since it's a short-term game, we can't ask for much from the players. "I plan to prepare the players with what they can do well. There are difficulties, but I am preparing to show good performances without being lethargic."

Coach Park went on to evaluate that `Japanese officials will not be easy for Korea to beat Japan in amateur soccer.' My pride was hurt. But you have to accept what you have to accept and learn what you have to learn"In Japan, even grit is said to be ahead of us, but I will emphasize that part more to the players."




The regular Korea-Japan college football tournament was launched in 1972. It was renamed the "Denso Cup" in 2004. In previous records, South Korea has a slight advantage with 19 wins, 8 draws and 16 losses, but after reorganizing into the Denso Cup, it is inferior with 8 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses.
