The Under-20 World Cup in Argentina has just concluded a quarter-final battle, and the South Korean team from Asia defeated the African Eagle Nigeria 1-0 in extra time to reach the semi-finals, becoming the biggest dark horse in the World Youth Championship title.
South Korea is a strong team in Asia, whether it is the World Cup or the World Youth Championship, they hold the record for the most participation in Asia, which even Japan can match. This is the 16th time that the South Korean team has participated in the World Youth Championships in Argentina. In the group stage, South Korea defeated favourites France 2-1 before facing Honduras in a 2-2 draw. In the final round of the Gambia, the two teams shook hands 0-0 and scored 5 points in three rounds, allowing South Korea to successfully advance to the knockout round.
By this stage, the South Korean team had become the only Asian team alive, and it was in the U20 Asian Cup that South Korea won the qualification after defeating the national football team, so the national football team and other Asian teams are closely watching the performance of the Taiji Tigers. Against Nigeria, South Korea was bombarded 20 times by their opponents with only 38% possession and a corner kick in extra time, and Choi Seok-hyun threw his head at the front point to complete the kill, and the score was fixed at 1-0.
No one expected that the South Korean team had gone all the way in the World Youth Championships and now has reached the stage of the top 4. In the semi-finals, they will face European champions Italy, with the winner competing with the winners of Uruguay and Israel for the final trophy. Asia, the depression of world football, has now stepped out of the dark horse of South Korea at the World Youth Championship, which has undoubtedly worried Italy, which is difficult to predict the outcome of the semi-finals after successive knockouts of Ecuador and Nigeria.
Judging from the performance of the Korean team in this World Youth Championship, the national football team lost 1-3 to the opponent and fell outside the World Youth Championship. After all, the South Korean team is stronger and hard power crushes the existence of the Chinese team, and the national football crowd will see the highlight performance of the South Korean team, which can undoubtedly be inspired by it, inspiring them to use a more humble posture to shrink the defense in the face of a strong enemy, and wait until the opponent makes a mistake to give the opponent a fatal blow. #挑战30天在头条写日记 #
