The national football team has come together as a team ahead of the 3rd World Cup qualifier against Jordan.

The European team, including Lee Kang-in and Seol Young-woo, joined the national team late after finishing their matches.

Hwang In-beom and Kim Min-jae, born in 1996, who recently scored a goal together for their team, entered Jordan with great energy.

Although there is no captain Son Heung-min, the national team is led by players at the level of ‘veterans’ who are scattered in offense and defence.

Lee Jae-seong, who has the most international game experience, is one of the key players who will be the link between offense and defense in the midfield.

Also worth looking forward to is Hwang Hee-chan, who scored a goal in the match against Oman, and Lee Kang-in, who plays for both his team and the national team, in getting to visit

Kim Min-jae, who recently had his major performance, is also confident.

They are ahead of Jordan with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, but they are actually inferior.

The last time we won was 10 years ago, and we met twice in the Asian Cup this year, drawing once and losing once.

As many as four goals were scored in two games.

Although it is not clear whether he will play, Al Tamari, known as the ‘Jordan Messi’, is particularly dangerous.

A strong defense is needed, but Jo Yu-min and Jeong Seung-hyun, who play in the Middle East, are known as the ‘Kim Min-jae partner’, which has become vacant due to non- The presence of Kim Young-kwon.

After the Asian Cup semi-final defeat, the sacking of coach Klinsmann and the controversial departure of Hong Myung-boho, the ‘Jordan nightmare’ continues.

Coach Hong Myung-bo, who has to take care of both change and victory with ‘Plan B’ without Son Heung-min, is again on the edge of a cliff.
