U23 Asian Cup 1/4 finals, South Korea Olympic against Indonesia, ten people against South Korea Olympic in regular time and Indonesia Olympic 2-2 draw, the two teams into a penalty shootout, and finally South Korea Olympic 11-12 defeated by the Indonesian Olympic Games, completely missed the Paris Olympics, the biggest "upset" of this U23 Asian Cup. After the game, South Korea's Olympic coach Hwang Sun-hong refused to attend the press conference and instead attended the press conference as an assistant coach.
Previously, South Korea's Olympic team qualified for the Olympic finals for 10 consecutive times, and the best result was the bronze medal at the London Olympics, which is also a record for Asian teams. Indonesia is participating in the U23 Asian Cup for the first time, and it is impressive to advance to the semi-finals, and Indonesia still has a chance to qualify for the Paris Olympics.
When the referee's final whistle blew, the Korean players couldn't believe that this was the truth, and some Korean players cried directly, which was too big a blow to these Korean players. Before the game, the South Korean team, which shouted that it wanted to win the U23 Asian Cup, was eliminated by the new team Indonesia, which entered the U23 Asian Cup for the first time. After the game, the South Korean media believed that this South Korean Olympic team was the last Olympic team in history.
A total of 16 teams will participate in this U23 Asian Cup, and the top 3 teams will directly participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games, and the 4th place team will compete with the 4th in the African zone for a place in the Paris Olympics! Even if Indonesia loses the next two games, it will compete with Guinea, the fourth in Africa, for a place in the Paris Olympics.
After the elimination of South Korea, the Indonesian ball was very excited
After the game, Indonesian coach Shin Tai Long said: I am both happy and sad, I am a South Korean coach, but I sent my motherland team outside the Olympic Games! Although the game should go all out to win, this is a understandable thing, but obviously Shen Tai Long is a good patriotic coach, the victory is gratifying, but this kind of victory makes Shen Tailong difficult to be happy!
Indonesian coach Shin Tae Long
After the game, the victorious Indonesian players were excited, while coach Shin Tai Long silently walked to the locker room. What makes Shen Tailong even more depressed is that the original coaching contract between the Indonesian Football Association and Shen Tailong is until June 30, 2024. After Indonesia eliminated South Korea, the Indonesian Football Association immediately extended Shin Tai-ryong's coaching contract until June 30, 2027. This is exactly the confirmation of the old Chinese saying "loyalty and righteousness dilemma"!
It is estimated that Shen Tailong's heart must be "mixed tastes" now. Do you think that's the case?
