Goyang Stadium Auxiliary Stadium on the 17th. The cold snap of being jealous of spring has struck. The cheers of Taegeuk Warriors echoed on the ground where the cold air did not go away. It was a face full of aspiration to face the moment of early confirmation of the upcoming two home games and the finals of the North-China World Cup.
The national soccer team A started its first call-up training on the day. The national team, which will play Group B's seventh match against Oman in Goyang on the 20th in the third Asian qualifying round for the North-China World Cup, will move to Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 25th and play Jordan in the eighth match. It's more important than ever. Hong Myung-bo, who has played six games in Group B, is leading the way alone with four wins, two draws and 14 points. If they win back-to-back games against Oman and Jordan and add six points, they can confirm their advance to the North-China World Cup finals, which will be given up to second place in each group, regardless of the results of the remaining two games.

Of course, it is not an easy situation. There was a variable in which Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) fell due to an Achilles tendon injury on the day of the call-up. From Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) to Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), European players will also join belatedly. There is only 19 days to prepare for the first gateway, the Battle of Oman, as 'complete body' for only one day. The condition of the K-League players, who are still in the beginning of the season, is not 100%.
There was no fear in the faces of the 17 players who gathered on the first day of the convocation. Even in the chilly weather and wind, I managed my first day's schedule with a smile. Some veteran players who played in the K League 1 schedule last weekend, including Joo Min-kyu (Daejeon) and Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan), focused on recovery with light running and conditioning on the side of the ground. The rest of the players had time to familiarize themselves with tactics through formation training under coach João Arrosu.

Joo Min-kyu, who has recently led Daejeon with consecutive goals, said, `I am relieved that I have performed well in my team and (for the national team). I want to use this energy to show good performance"He expressed his determination. Already, the title of the 'national team veteran' is not awkward. Joo Min-gyu said, "I'm old, but I came with the mindset of a rookie."It's the dream of every player to play in the World Cup, but we have to solve what's in front of us right now."," he said, expressing his intention to focus on the two consecutive A matches in March. As for the solution to defeating Oman and Jordan, which is expected to be heavily defended by visiting Korea with a faint hope "Of course, it is not easy. However, it helped me a lot to wait and focus on my patience through Ulsan and Daejeon. "If such a scene comes out in this game as well, I want to solve it based on my experiences." Oh Hyun-kyu (Gunk), who is competing with Joo Min-kyu Oh Se-hoon (Matcha) in the national team, expressed confidence, saying, `I think I can use my speed to go into the back space of the opponent's defense a little sharper.' The national team will reveal only the first 15 minutes of training in Goyang on the 18th, and then start a full-fledged behind-the-scenes tactical training to find a solution to victory over Oman and Jordan.
