First convening training in the East Asian Cup in the heat wave… Hong Myung -bo “Test War Beginning”
“It’s important to see how new players adapt well to the national team. It’s important to prove in position competition.”
Hong Myung -bo’s men’s soccer team manager emphasized the competition and proof of good faith to ‘new faces’. Hong convened athletes at Seongnam Stadium in Seongnam, Gyeonggi-do on the 3rd, ahead of the East Asian Football Federation (EAFF) E-1 Championship (East Asian Cup, 7-16). He met with journalists before training and made his determination to go to the East Asian Cup.
Hong Myung Protection will play with Japan at 8:00 pm on the 11th at 8:00 pm on the 7th at 8:00 pm on the 7th. The places are all Yongin Mirstadium. Korea, which has won the most championship, will challenge the sixth championship. The trophy that was given to Japan in 2022, the previous competition, should also be regained.
It is also important to cover the national team’s prisoners in less than a year until the 2026 North and Central America World Cup. The tournament was not the A -match period set by the International Football Federation, so they set up a national team with K Leager and J Leagans without Europeans.
Among the 26 people, Lee Ho -jae (Pohang), Kim Tae -hyun (Kashima), Byun Jun -su (Gwangju), Signing Hall (Ulsan), Kim Tae -hyun (Jeonbuk), Seo Min -woo (Gangwon), Lee Seung -won (Gimcheon), Kang Sang -yoon (Jeonbuk), and Mo Jae -hyun (Gangwon) were the first Taegeuk mark. Na Sang -ho (Machida Zelvia) was selected for the national team in two years since June 2023.
It is a chance to show yourself to young players. Hong Myung -bo gave a lot of opportunities for young players during the North and Central America World Cup qualifiers, and they contributed to the 11th consecutive World Cup finals.
Hong said, “Because of the nature of the East Asian Cup, it is less noticeable than other games, but it is a good opportunity to see the players’ skills. “It’s a short time, but you can watch the adaptation and various parts. It will compete in each position, which will work quite important in the remaining one year of the World Cup finals.”
Hong also watched the Club World Cup in the United States ahead of the World Cup next year. “It was very hot. It was hard to see the weather rising to 37 degrees Celsius,” he said.
Will the players will be discovered again this time? Hong expressed the players who were convened at the East Asian Cup team as “the war began in the name of the test.”
