This is what Hong Myung-bo, coach of the South Korean national football team, said.
South Korea will play Oman at Goyang Stadium on the 20th in Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup.
South Korea has the upper hand in objective power. South Korea is 23rd in the FIFA rankings. Oman is ranked 80th. In the previous record, South Korea is leading with 5 wins and 1 loss. South Korea also won the match 3-1 in September last year.
Ahead of the showdown, Hong said in an official press conference held on the 19th, `All the players gathered on the evening of the 18th. There are also players who feel tired. Considering the very important game now, the players will prepare well for the rest of the day's training. The game will be good on the 20th"When analyzing arrogance, the attack pattern is likely to come out depending on where and how much pressure we press. I think there will be a lot of long balls. The players talked well with the players about the reaction, response, and second ball to the direct ball. It may be different, but there is a game model when we are under pressure and not under pressure. I was aware of that."

"Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord Rotterdam) communicated smoothly with the team, the players themselves and the national team," Hong said. I played 45 minutes last weekend. There's a bit of an injury, so I'll watch. Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) also fully recovered from his injury, but he communicated with the club's manager and was told to what extent he could do it. I'm going to decide how to play in the future after the final training.
He said "It's time for defense change. The key situation is how much time it is combined with players who have spent in it. Finally, we will do tactical training. In addition, it is most important to select players with good communication and leadership in the stadium. It is time for a change. I think that will also be a good opportunity for the team. I felt that the players who are going to play were ready."
The following is a Q&A session with director Hong Myung-bo.

▶ All the players gathered on the evening of the 18th. There are also players who feel tired. Considering the very important game now, the players will prepare well for the rest of the day's training. The game will be good on the 20th.
- War boundaries and countermeasures in Oman.
▶Pride is likely to have an attack pattern depending on where and how much pressure we put in, both when we play the first game and when we analyze it through other games. I think there will be a lot of long balls. The players talked well with the players about the reaction, response, and second ball to the direct ball. It may be different, but there is a game model when we are under pressure and not under pressure. I was careful about that.
- The condition of players who suffered injuries such as Hwang Hee-chan and Hwang In-beom.
▶Hwang In-beom communicated smoothly with the team, the player himself, and the national team. I played 45 minutes last weekend. There's a bit of an injury, so I'll watch. Hwang Hee-chan also fully recovered from his injury, but he communicated with the club's manager and was told to what extent he could do it. I'm going to decide how to play in the future after the final training.
- Will the newly selected players get a chance.
▶It is best if new players can get a chance to play. However, our current situation is that some players are new players, rather than new players, but there are cases where they go out differently from the combination they have done so far, so it can be said that they are new players themselves. I'll even do the final training. I'll decide after that.

▶It is time for a change in defense. The key situation is how much time it is combined with players who have spent in it. Finally, we will do tactical training. In addition, it is most important to select players with good communication and leadership in the stadium. It is time for a change. I think that will also be a good opportunity for the team. I felt that the players who are going to play (in the game) are ready.
- The current team situation, compared to when you were in charge of the team.
▶I don't think I've ever said I have little training time for the national team. That's what I knew. I don't think I would say that. It is very important how well these players work together. Organizational power is very important in soccer, for example. As expected, time is needed. We don't have time. Finding a way to fill that time is the most important thing. It is important to have a meeting through video, share the game model, and have a little time together at the training site. Fortunately, the players are very capable now. He is a player who can learn everything in a short time without spending a lot of time. We trust and expect the players to be on the field, and the players who go out will play responsibly. I don't know what the game will look like on the 20th, but I expect the players to do their best and do their best.
