[골닷컴, 신문로] Correspondent Kang Dong-hoon = “Many of the players selected this time around will be included in the final entries for the World Cup.”
Coach Paulo Bento (53, Portugal) could not hide his heart at the press conference for the announcement of the squad squad in September held at the Sinmun-ro Football Center on the 13th. Indeed, it can be said with certainty that approximately 90% of Bento’s final entry plan for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has been completed.
The Korean national football team, led by coach Bento, will play the first evaluation match against Costa Rica in the hometown sports complex on 23 and the second evaluation match against Cameroon at the Seoul World Cup stadium four days later. . The list includes captain Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham Hotspur) and deputy captain Kim Young-kwon (32, Ulsan Hyundai), as well as Kim Min-jae (25, Napoli), Hwang Ui-jo (30), Named Hwang In-beom (25, Olympiacos) and Hwang Hee-chan (26, Wolverhampton Wanderers) and other players who have played important roles in the past.
Kang-in Lee (21), who was the biggest concern of football fans, was also selected. Kang-in Lee has recently appeared regularly for his team of Mallorca (Spain) and has played a vital role in attack. In particular, he has helped in the last three games. In the midst of such outstanding performances, he changed his mind as coach Bento and was called up again after 1 year and 6 months.
Also, Kim Jin-su (30), Baek Seung-ho (25, Jeonbuk Hyundai), Kwon Chang-hoon (28, Kim Cheon Sang-mu), Na Sang-ho (26, FC Seoul), etc. Mainz 05) was on board. Rookie Hyun-jun Yang (20, Gangwon FC), who recently played in the K-League, wore the Taegeuk brand for the first time.
This call is more important than ever. That’s because it’s the last evaluation match with the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar two months away. Of course, a friendly is scheduled for the last day of next month, but this is the last time that all members, including foreign players, can come together.
In this sense, as long as there are no major variables such as injuries or difficult conditions, there is a high possibility that the 26 players called up this time around are actually on board for the final entry. There may be some changes between the two months, but in the meantime, given Bento’s leanings, it’s unlikely there are any major changes.
In fact, even if we only compare last June’s list and this month’s call list, Kim Min-jae and Lee Jae-sung had disappeared due to injuries, so if we leave out the exceptions, Son Jun-ho (30, Shandong Excluding Taishan) , Yoon Jong-gyu (24, FC Seoul), Yang Hyun-jun and Lee Kang-in, no new appointments Instead of experimenting with extracting a new face, it is clear that it will retain the existing structure and bring more weight to stability as much as possible.
Bento also said: “There is still time before the World Cup and the players still have many games in their teams. After seeing this call, I will think about the next call.” It will be included in the entry, but it remains to be seen which players will be included. “
