The women’s soccer team, which confirmed the gap with the world level, started running once more ahead of the third group H match once morest Germany. On the 31st, the national team led by coach Colin Bell conducted an hour-long recovery training at the Campbelltown Sports Stadium on the outskirts of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Korea, which was placed at the bottom (2 losses, 0 points) due to its defeat once morest Morocco the previous day, must engage in an all-out war once morest Germany. The performance of the national team, which has suffered two defeats without scoring until this day, makes us feel the difference from the world level. The last fighting spirit of the ‘golden generation’, who once won the World Cup bronze medal at the age of 20 and the World Cup championship at the age of 17, is not enough to break through the net. This is the current state of Korean women’s soccer, which has stayed or regressed in 2010. Head coach Bell focused on recovering from fatigue by having players such as Ji So-yeon (Suwon FC), Park Eun-seon (Seoul City Hall), Kim Hye-ri (Incheon Hyundai Steel), and Cho So-hyun (Tottenham) warm up with jokbal and stretching. However, young players who had a short playing time were given intensive shooting training. Mixed-race players such as Casey Yujin Fair (PDA), Chun Garam (Hwacheon KSPO), Kang Chae-rim (Incheon Hyundai Steel), and Bae Ye-bin (Widuk University) participated in training to improve their goal scoring power.

While guiding training, Director Bell said, “Finish! Finish!”, and the players sprinted and shot at the goal. Shooting training continued even following the key players left the ground following stretching. Chun Ga-ram, who participated in this tournament as a rookie of the Korean team that had no waist and failed to change generations, said in an interview with domestic reporters following training, “Every minute and every second was precious. I wanted to fight hard for Korea,” he said. “I might feel everyone’s nervousness and urgency. I was able to show our soccer enough, but it’s a pity that I mightn’t do that.” Chun Ga-ram made his debut on the World Cup stage by playing in the 43rd minute of the second half once morest Morocco, showing strong movements. He said, “There are many cases where young players are aces in many teams. I was shocked,” he said. “I will prepare hard in preparation for the match once morest Germany. If given time, I want to play a game with no regrets.” The national team will play its final group match once morest Germany, second in the FIFA rankings, at the Brisbane Stadium in Queensland, Australia on August 3. You can expect to advance to the round of 16 only if you win by more than 5 goals in this game, but it is not an easy task. Senior Reporter Kim Chang-geum [email protected]
