Director Hwang Seon-hong’s trickery has become a self-defeating tree.
[골닷컴] Correspondent Choi Dae-hoon = Coach Hwang Seon-hong, who leads the Korean U-23 national football team, said at a press conference before the match against Japan that he would not make any major changes, but he played with a shocking start and brought shocking results.
The Republic of Korea U-23 national football team lost 0-3 in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup quarter-finals against the Japan U-23 national football team held at the Fahtakor Markaji Stadium in Tashkent, Uzbekistan at 10 pm on the 12th. lost

It was an unforgivable blow. The score of 0-3 was fortunate enough that Korea’s performance was disastrous. Korea showed disappointment in their goal determination in the last 3 matches in the group stage, but the performance was not as bad, so they expected a good performance in the match between Korea and Japan.

Coach Hwang Seon-hong, who attended the press conference before the game, said, “As we are approaching the semi-finals, I have a motive to win. So far, preparations are going well.” He said, “Except for general bruises and bruises, the players are in good condition.” He seemed to be fully prepared.
He added, “It will not make any major changes to the team,” and added, “We will build a team with the best players and leave the essence of the team.” He predicted a starting lineup similar to that of the previous three games.
However, when the lineups of both teams were revealed before the match, fans could not hide their doubts. Kim “center back” Hyun-woo, who had never played in the game, started as a starter, and there were no defensive midfielders like Kwon Hyuk-kyu and Lee Jin-yong in the midfield. In addition, Kim Tae-hwan, who had always played a full-back position in the group stage, came out as a winger, and Yang Hyun-joon and Park Jeong-in were at the forefront, not Oh Se-hoon, who played a good role as a substitute card with Cho Young-wook, who scored three goals in three games.
‘Main Jeon’ centre-back Lee Sang-min was inevitably excluded from the list due to a positive test for COVID-19, but Park Jae-hwan, who started in the second game, existed as a substitute. However, coach Hwang Seon-hong put Kim Hyeon-woo, who had a clear sense of play, as the starting lineup, and Kim Hyeon-woo often produced disturbing scenes, contributing to the defeat.
Korea, which played without a professional defensive midfielder, suffered a devastating defeat in the midfield fight against Japan, and Lee Kang-in struggled to gain possession. Manager Hwang Seon-hong introduced Hyuk-gyu Kwon at the beginning of the second half, but it was impossible to regain the momentum that had already passed.
It is also regrettable that Kim Tae-hwan and Park Jeong-in were chosen rather than Oh Se-hoon and Jo Young-wook. It is true that Kim Tae-hwan, who had a taste for goals with his left foot in the first game, can also play as a winger, but the choice of leaving Uhm Ji-sung and Cho Young-wook on the bench remains questionable.
Also, coach Hwang Seon-hong put Park Jeong-in in place of Oh Se-hun, who was useful in the group stage, but Park Jung-in did not record a single shot during the first half and was substituted at the beginning of the second half.
Manager Hwang Seon-hong, who said he would do anything to win the Korea-Japan match, had the trick of an unconventional starting lineup, but the number of wins ended up being self-defeating.
