Jens Kastroff's patriotism is really sincere.

The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, drew 2-2 against Mexico in a friendly match at Geodyspark in Nashville, Tennessee on the 10th (Korea time). Hong Myung-bo, who finished the two consecutive away games in the U.S., with one win and one draw, raised expectations for the World Cup.

Coach Hong Myung-bo made a major change against Mexico. With nine seats changed compared to the U.S. match, the most noticeable player was Castrov. Coach Hong Myung-bo gave Castrov a chance to select the national team. In the 3-4-3 formation, Kastroff played a role in protecting the midfield with Park Yong-woo. Castrov, who plays a role in stopping the opponent's attack like a vacuum cleaner, could do the best.




Castrov, who became the first Korean mixed-race player born abroad in the history of Korean soccer, even showed his singing of the national anthem ahead of his starting debut. It was a moment when I felt the sincerity of Kastroff, who gave up Germany, the world's strongest, and chose Korea.

Castrov was given 45 minutes, but he deserved a good passing score. In the 10th minute of the first half, Castrov took the ball from the midfield and delivered it to Lee Kang-in. The attack, which started with Kastroff, led to Bae Joon-ho's decisive chance, but was not replaced by a score.

Kastrov continued to show active movement and activism in the midfield, proving that he is a player who can be of great help to Korea's power.

According to Yonhap News Agency, after the game, Kastrov was very honored to start the game. "I wish I could have played a little more, but I'm also disappointed."




Recalling the time when the national anthem played out, Kastrov recalled "It was a very proud and happy moment to debut. Emotions also came up. I tried to concentrate on the game as much as possible, but I was very proud of the moment the national anthem came out. I learned the national anthem at home"It was an emotional moment."

Castrov's debut as a starting player for the Korean national team was also a happy occasion for his family. He "I heard from my brothers that they were so moved that my mother cried and screamed at me. The brothers were also very happy. I think it's a fantastic moment," he said with a smile.

Rather than looking at the World Cup right away, Castrov intends to focus on the October A match next month. He said, `The goal is to come back to the national team with the coach's choice. If I play in Korea again against a strong team called Brazil, I will feel different and quite happy. "My job is to train hard and play well in my team and perform well, and the rest will be (Hong Myung-bo's) decision," he said, adding, "I will calmly prepare for the next convocation."
