[골닷컴, 신문로] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = The final list of the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games soccer team (hereinafter referred to as Hwang Seon-hong) led by coach Hwang Seon-hong has been announced. While Kang-in Lee (Paris Saint-Germain), who drew the most attention, was named, Jin-seop Park, Seung-ho Baek (above Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors) and Young-woo Seol (Ulsan Hyundai) were selected as wild cards (25 years old and over).
Coach Hwang Seon-hong held a press conference at the Soccer Hall in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 14th and announced the final list of the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games soccer team. Young-Jun Koh (Pohang Steelers) and Young-Wook Cho (Sangmu Kim Cheon), who had been consistently selected and played an active role, were selected, and Lee Kang-in, who drew the most attention, was also on board.
Since its launch in September 2021, Sunhong Hwang has been on a long journey with the goal of hosting the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games and the 2024 Paris Olympics. In particular, she aimed to win three consecutive championships following the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon and the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta and Palembang.
Originally, the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games were scheduled to be held last year, but in the aftermath of a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), it was postponed for a year, and changes occurred, such as raising the age of players by one year to 24 years old or younger (born in 1999). The final list was also expanded from 20 to 22. As a result, coach Hwang Seon-hong has a wider range of players to choose from.
Head coach Hwang Seon-hong has been constantly observing players both domestically and internationally. He also participated in the 2022 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Under-23 (U-23) Asian Cup, and summoned and checked several players during evaluation matches in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and China. At the same time, he set out the outline of the final list to some extent, and confirmed it through the announcement that day.
On the other hand, Korea holds the record for winning the most Asian Games (five times). If you win this 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games, it will be three consecutive wins, which is the first time. The group draw is scheduled to be held in Hangzhou on the 27th, and the method of drawing has not yet been decided.
