South Korea defeated Japan to lock in the first place in the group
For Coach Huang Shanhong, before the start of this U23 Asian Cup, he hopes to beat the Japanese Olympic team the most. Two years ago in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the South Korean U23 team led by Lee Gang-in finally lost 0-3 to the "skipping" Participating in the Japanese U21, for the first time in history, missed the semi-finals of the U23 Asian Cup, which also became a pain in Huang Shanhong's heart, because after that competition, the doubts about Huang Shanhong did not stop, when the U23 Asian Cup group draw was announced, the Japanese U21 of that year has grown into today's Japanese Olympic team, Huang Shanhong is particularly looking forward to the final game and Japan's competition, and even in the second game against the Chinese Olympic team, he chose to "give up the pass control of the ball and change to counterattack" to simulate the South Korea-Japan war.
On the evening of April 22, in the third round of Group B of the U23 Asian Cup in Qatar, the South Korean Olympic team, which was substituted for the game, finally defeated the Japanese Olympic team 1-0 with the goal of the only player on the field who traveled to Europe - Kim Min-woo, the midfielder of the second team of Dusseldorf. It is worth mentioning that in addition to the goalkeeper and the players who were sent off in the first round, the Japanese Olympic team played its main role in the second half, and even besieged the South Korean Olympic team for a time. But the desperate blocking of the players and the opponent's shooting skills were so bad that the score of 1-0 was maintained until the end!
The South Korean Olympic team completed the belated two-year revenge for Coach Hwang Sun-hong, and the Japanese Olympic team coach Oiwa, who had not improved two years later, lost to Hwang Sun-hong again in the tournament after the Hangzhou Asian Games, and they also had to draw with the host Qatar in the quarterfinals.
Winning all 3 games, Huang Shanhong's team will meet the Indonesian Olympic team led by South Korean coach Shin Tailong in the knockout round, if he wins, Huang Shanhong will complete the goal of "entering the Olympics" set before the game, when the main players are either absent because of the Hangzhou Asian Games championship, or because the club does not let go, if the 2.5 army can win the right to participate in the Paris Olympics, at least in the process of his competition for the national team coach, he will get a very high score.
The new handsome Daegu has been decided! The old handsome Park Chang-hyun took over the handsome whip
After last week's FA Cup exit, Daegu coach Choi Won-kwon put down the coaching whip, which means that Daegu FC will not have a coach before the eighth round of the league in the 2024 season. But luckily, their opponents Daejeon also didn't perform well and in the end both sides accepted a 0-0 result. After the draw, Daegu has actually decided on a new commander. On April 23, Daegu FC officially announced that 57-year-old coach Park Chang-hyun was officially appointed as the team's 14th coach, and he will also lead the team to the rest of the season. Park Chang-hyun's name should not be unfamiliar if you are familiar with Korean football, he is the former champion of the South Korean football giant Pohang Steelers, and he is also a super striker who is known as Pohang's three killers along with "Hwang Sunhong and Ladd".
Young Chinese fans are familiar with him probably because after the departure of Farias, he played many games as acting coach at Pohang Iron Corporation, including the AFC Champions League, but was later replaced by Huang Shanhong because of his poor results. This is also his return to the professional stage after 14 years, and the reason why Daegu chose him is because of his excellent coaching performance in the college league, and it is also hoped that he can use this experience to promote young people. This weekend's match against Jeonbuk will be his debut with the team. Will Park Chang-hyun be the best solution?
You decide my fate! Jeonbuk is watching the results of the AFC Champions League tomorrow in Ulsan
Tomorrow night, the semi-finals of the 2023-24 AFC Champions League will be contested in Yokohama, Japan, and whether Ulsan Hyundai, who won the first leg 1-0, can complete the promotion away from home will be related to the glory of the Korean team in the continental competition on the one hand, and the allocation of places in the Club World Cup on the other. If Ulsan advances, Jeonbuk will get a second ticket to East Asia under the current ranking rules, but if Ulsan loses, Jeonbuk will also miss out on qualifying for the 2025 Club World Cup.
Although they have won two in a row, Jeonbuk is still particularly concerned about this AFC Champions League clash in midweek, although they are opponents in the league, but this time, Jeonbuk will "cheer" for Ulsan, after all, their fate is firmly in the hands of the other party.
