“No one can guarantee that they will go to the Asian Games.”
Hwang Seon-hong (55) Under 24 years old (U-24) As the coach of the Hangzhou Asian Games team said, the second offensive line is going into a situation where no one knows who will survive depending on the position distribution.
The U-24 national team had a short convocation training at the Paju National Soccer Team Training Center (Paju NFC) on the 15th and 17th. It was to instill the players’ performance and the style coach Hwang pursued into the players who could board, ahead of the Asian Games in September.
On the first day, I focused on recovery training, but on the next two days, I checked how to deliver the ball to the opponent’s penalty area, such as build-up. After putting on vests, dividing them into several groups, moving from the center through the sides and back to the center to finish, Hwang’s style of tempo soccer was put on. Each of them shouted “Ah~” or “Ah~” or called each other’s names, probably meaning to ask Director Hwang to watch them, and their voices spread through the air.

During this training, coach Hwang said he focused on clearly explaining the tactical direction to the players. An official from the national team explained, “There is still a lot of time left, but in the previous Asian Games, we focused on encompassing the strategy from the group stage to the knockout stage, considering the opponents who operated the game in the form of a counterattack after the player’s defense against Korea.” .
Coach Hwang is known to have expressed satisfaction with the fact that most of the players joined while playing for their teams. It is said that he was to the point of contemplating who to put on the final list, especially for midfielders and attackers.
In the case of the second line of attack, the majority are multiplayer. The regulars of the national team by age are Cho Young-wook (Gimcheon Sangmu), Ko Jae-hyeon (Daegu FC), Go Young-jun (Pohang Steelers), Song Min-gyu (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors), Yang Hyun-jun (Gangwon FC), Eom Won-sang (Ulsan Hyundai), and Um Ji-seong (Gangju FC).
Considering that the final roster usually selects twice as many per position, if you have Lee Kang-in (Mallorca) and Jung Woo-young (SC Freiburg) in mind, it leads to a player selection that becomes really complicated to calculate.
It is even more difficult in light of the tactics and strategies of coach Hwang, who has preferred attacks through stable build-ups based on the 4-2-3-1 formation. Ko Jae-hyeon, Song Min-gyu, Um Won-sang, and Cho Young-wook, who were born in 1999, must bring a gold medal at the Asian Games. It is still difficult to guarantee that they will advance to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, and if they do, it will be more difficult in that they will be in the wild card age group.
The training atmosphere was generally lively, but there were many movements that showed that Hwang was maintaining a good sense. Of course, at the time of selection in September, physical strength and physical condition must be good. It is Hwang’s greed and mind that he wants the players to be maintained until September without injury.
He is, of course, director Hwang, who gave the hint. Regarding the selection of players, he said about the important value, “It’s an original team. It’s a short game, so it’s really important how much we can compete as a team. We plan to select players who can go towards one goal.” He emphasized the resources that melt his skills. Curiosities are pouring in as to how much it will fit into Hwang’s strategy, who wants a performance that harmonizes with the team while inducing fierce competition.
