Coach Lee Min-sung, who was appointed as the new head coach of the U-23 national soccer team, will be given a heavy task.
The Korea Football Association appointed Lee as the head of the U-23 national team. This is the result of his ability as a leader by contributing to winning the gold medal as the head coach of the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games and leading the promotion of Daejeon Hana Citizen.
He has a long way to go. He will have an A-match with Australia in June. Through this schedule, Lee plans to check the skills of his existing squad and set a roadmap for the future. The U-23 Asian Cup qualifying round will be held in September, and if he wins the ticket, he will play in the finals in January next year. The Asian Games will then be held in Japan in September. The Asian Cup is important, but his biggest goal is to win a gold medal at the Asian Games where players can benefit from military service.
The Asian Games are expected to be the most difficult in history. This is due to Japan, the host country. As the games will be held at its home turf, chances are high that Japan will play at the games with strong capabilities.
Japan is rapidly growing as promising players are actively heading to the European leagues. Players who play in domestic leagues are also competitive. Only five players were selected for the national team in March, including Tawaratsumi Koda (FC Tokyo), Ryunosuke Sato (Paziano Okayama), Junnosuke Suzuki (Shonan Belmare), Kota Takai (Kawasaki Frontale or higher), and Kodai Sano (Neimeheon, the Netherlands). Players from home and abroad are excellent. Japan, which has the advantage of the host, is the strongest candidate.
On top of that, Uzbekistan and Iran are tough competitors. Korea has won three Asian Games consecutively, but it is hard to guarantee a gold medal. It could be the most difficult event ever.
This is the most important event for Korean players who are active in Europe to win the gold medal at the Asian Games. As these players are responsible for the future of Korean soccer, they desperately want to receive benefits in military service. The targets include Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City), Yang Min-hyuk (Tottenham Hotspur), Yoon Do-young (Daejeon Hana Citizen), and Lee Hyun-joo (Hanover 96). Players who are seeking to advance to Europe in the long term are in the same situation. 안전놀이터
As Lee has been appointed, the U-23 team will also need to clean up traffic with the U-20 team. Although the U-20 team is older than Lee, there are many players who will be included in the lineup to participate in the Asian Games. The voyage clock of the 'Lee Min-sung', which is just departing, is expected to be busy.
