Connect with the sports section.

Narrator Kim Young-soo!

Today’s game starts late at night, right?

[기자]

Yes, as it is an away game to Jordan, it will be held at the Amman International Stadium at 11pm our time.

It was already a difficult trip to the Middle East, but bad news happened to our country.

As you know, Son Heung-min, who suffered a thigh injury, cannot participate in this convocation.

Coach Hong Myung-bo also mentioned Plan B without Son Heung-min early and prepared, but it is not an easy task.

At first, the captain’s weapon was taken over by Kim Min-jae’s protective heart.

Hwang Hee-chan, who has proven himself on the pitch, is likely to fill Son Heung-min’s vacancy.

This is a situation where Lee Jae-sung and Hwang In-beom have to focus well and expect ‘one shot’ from Lee Kang-in.

Also, Oh Hyun-gyu and Bae Jun-ho, who show better performance for their teams, could also be good cards.

The opponent is not easy.

I have fought Jordan 7 times so far, with 3 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss.

But the last time we won was 10 years ago.

In the last two games, Asian Cup, which were very important games, we could not win even once.

In particular, the 0-2 loss in the semi-finals was a very painful game that made the national football team upset.

The player who got the goal this time was Yazan Al Naimat, one of the aces he faced, and there is a good chance that he will play after recovering from the injury.

I think our national team should pay attention.

[앵커]

As it is a World Cup qualifier, it is an important match for the national team.

Isn’t coach Hong Myung-bo also desperate for victory?

[기자]

Yes, that’s right.

It was officially announced on July 7 that Coach Hong Myung-bo would be in charge of the national football team.

More than three months have already passed,

However, not to mention the honeymoon, criticism has continued for almost 100 days.

This is due to the dispute over the recruitment process.

This has spread to the political world, and recently, Director Hong Myung-bo and Chairman Chung Mong-gyu appeared at the National Assembly inquiry on upcoming issues.
The national football team is also mentioned in the government investigation.

Minister Yoo In-chon also publicly expressed his opinion that he should be reinstated because the procedure was flawed.

Even if the Korea Football Association or coach Hong Myung-bo refuse to acknowledge the findings of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism’s investigation that the selection process was flawed, the expected criticism will inevitably be difficult. to continue if the game results are not good.

That’s why today’s game is more important.

If Hong Myung-bo, who is being tested in every game, looks helpless today, the pressure to resign is expected to grow.

This is YTN Kim Young-soo from the sports department so far.
