Possibility of successful Korea-Japan match in quarterfinals… “I don’t understand”

The first training of the national team… Start with the physical fitness test “I don’t understand.

Are you saying they are going to make the top ranked players in the group play against each other?”

Hangzhou Asian Games

Colin Bell, coach of the Korean women’s soccer team, was embarrassed by the format of the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games. 카지노사이트킹

The Hangzhou Asian Games women’s soccer group stage is divided into five groups, with three teams each in groups A to C, and four teams each in groups D and E.

The five countries ranked 1st in each group and the 3 countries with the best results among the runners-up in each group will face each other in the quarterfinals,

with the 1st place teams in Group D and Group E facing each other in the quarterfinals.

The problem is that as a result of the group draw, Korea and Japan were assigned to Groups D and E, respectively.

Based on their strengths, there is a very high possibility that the two teams will finish first in each group.

Korea-Japan Match

This means that the ‘Korea-Japan match’ will be concluded in the quarterfinals.

Japan is a strong team that reached the quarterfinals at the 2023 Australia-New Zealand World Cup.

It is also the team that inflicted the only loss to the champion Spain.

Japan won 4-0 with a quick counterattack in the group match.

This is a match that is bound to be very burdensome for Coach Bell, who had a poor record of 1 draw and 2 losses in the World Cup.

On the 5th, Coach Bell, standing in front of reporters while summoning the players at the Paju National Football Team Training Center (NFC) in Gyeonggi Province, was asked about his goal for this tournament. He answered, “It is to continue to win.

I look forward to the players’ concentration and confidence.”

He then said with a stern expression, “If we take first place in the group stage, we will face Japan. I don’t understand.

I don’t know why we have to face each other in first place.

It’s complicated.

Let’s see what happens.”

Coach Bell

Although there is a high possibility that we will face a difficult matchup, Coach Bell emphasized that he is “happy” to be competing in the Asian Games.

He said emphatically in Korean, “The World Cup is over.

Analysis is over.

Now we are moving forward.”

He added, “Because the convocation period for the Hangzhou Asian Games is short,

we will prepare more intensively.”

Regarding the World Cup performance that fell below expectations,

Coach Bell said, “The expectations for this World Cup were very high,

it seems that many teams felt burdened by those expectations,” and added, “The same was true for our national team.

We failed to live up to the expectations of our fans.

“I feel regretful about this,” he said.

Coach Bell, who considers ‘physical strength’ the most important, started with a physical fitness test at the first convocation training that day.

While Lim Seon-ju, Choi Yu-ri (Hyundai Steel), and Kim Yun-ji (Suwon FC), who were not in perfect physical condition, trained separately,

19 players were divided into two groups and went through a hellish test.

The method was to start from 130m and increase by 6.5m, covering the course within 45 seconds.

Hopeful Stars

‘Hopeful stars’ Won Chae-eun (Hyundai High School) and Park Je-ah (Pohang Women’s Women’s Women’s Jeonjeon) participated in the domestic training as training partners.

The national team continues training in Paju and leaves on the afternoon of the 19th` to move to Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, the site of the final match.

Then, the group stage will be played against Myanmar on the 22nd, the Philippines on the 25th, and Hong Kong on the 28th at the Wenzhou Sports Center Stadium.

Korea had to be satisfied with bronze medals three times in a row, from the Guangzhou Games to the Jakarta and Palembang Games.

Japan, China, and North Korea are considered teams that will hinder Korea from winning a medal.
