It is the new year's first national team Hong Myung-bo. The new year's first national team "Taegeuk warrior" will be announced today.
The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will announce the list of national teams for the 7th to 8th rounds of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at the soccer center in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 10th.
With a total of 48 countries participating in the World Cup, the Asian continent is given 8.5 tickets. 18 countries that passed the second qualifying round will compete in three groups of six countries. The top two teams from each group will advance to the finals, and the third to fourth teams will be divided into two groups of three countries to determine two tickets for the fourth qualifying round. The second-ranked teams from each group will compete for tickets to the intercontinental playoff through the playoff.
Hong Myung-bo is unbeaten. He is leading Group B with four wins and two draws (14 points) along with Iraq, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait and Palestine. He is three points behind Iraq (11 points), which is considered the most difficult team, and five points behind Jordan (nine points) which is ranked the third.
The gap is still very tight. In this A-match, Hong Myung-bo wants to confirm his ticket to the finals. He will face Oman on the 20th at Goyang Stadium and Jordan on the 25th at Suwon World Cup Stadium. If he wins both games, he can confirm his trip to the finals regardless of the outcome of the remaining games.
Attention is focusing on who will board the first A-match in the new year. He is not worried about overseas players. Major players including Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) are constantly playing.
Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) suffered an injury in October last year and has been rehabbing recently, and has been making a comeback to boost his performance. Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) has returned to training although he has not been able to play due to his recent injury. He has ample chance to join the national team.
On top of that, players playing in the English Championship (second division) such as Bae Joon-ho (Stoke City), Um Ji-sung (Swansea City), and Yang Min-hyuk (Queens Park Rangers) are also showing compliance with every game, and Baek Seung-ho (Birmingham City) is also consistently being selected as the core of the team in League 1 (third division).
New second-line players will be able to join the ship. Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic), who was selected under former coach Jurgen Kriseman, is aiming to board the ship for the first time. Yang is gradually extending his playing time under Brendan Rodgers (Celtic).
He recently recorded help in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16 playoff games against Bayern Munich, and in the league, he scored one goal against Everdeen last month and two goals and one assist against St. Mirren, scoring five goals and three assists in the last 10 games.
It is also welcome to see the K-League players' performance. Although many people are discussing injuries due to the stadium and "non-dureung grass" due to the early opening of the season, A-match can be held in a physical condition with enhanced performance.
Usually, he joined the national team when the players' performance did not rise enough when it opened in March, but this year, he can expect to join after playing five games.
Frontline strikers have shown positive performance. Now an international striker, Joo has scored four goals in four games since moving to Daejeon Hana Citizen. He is playing the role of a new troubleshooter for Daejeon.
Ulsan HD, which lost its player Joo Min-gyu, possessed Heo Yul, a tall striker who played for Gwangju FC. Although there were many concerns, it has scored three goals in four games so far. At the match against Jeju SK on Sunday, it had multiple goals.
Lee Dong-kyung (Kim Cheon-sang-moo) is on the second line. He worked with Hong Myung-bo when he was in Ulsan. He has two goals and one assist this season. He is leading the offense as the ace of Gimcheon.
Hong's biggest concern is fullback. While Seol Young-woo (Trvena Zvezda) is still showing good performance, he should find a partner. 카지노
Coach Hong Myung-bo appointed Lee Myung-jae (Birmingham) as well as Seol Young-woo until recently, and invited Hwang Jae-won (Daegu FC), Choi Woo-jin (Jeonbuk Hyundai), and Lee Tae-seok (Pohang Steelers). Currently, Lee has not been able to play since moving to Birmingham. On top of that, Hwang cannot be selected as he has joined the military. Therefore, he is likely to have concerns about his partner.
