The South Korean national team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, is waiting for two important consecutive games.메이저놀이터
Korea will play the third and fourth rounds of the Asian regional qualifiers for the 2026 North-China World Cup. It will be an away match against Jordan on May 10 and a home match against Iraq on May 15. Korea tied the Palestinians 0-0 in the first round and beat Oman 3-1 in the second round. Korea is currently second in Group B. It is time to win.
However, Korea is on shaky ground even before the games begin. The aftermath of the appointment of Coach Hong Myung-bo has not stopped. Against this backdrop, Lee Chun-soo, a former member of the Korean national team, made remarks on his belief through his YouTube channel on Tuesday.
Lee Chun-soo first said, "The mood of the national team is tough. I'm worried because Son Heung-min is also injured. Apart from individual players' conditions, the overall situation of the national team is not good. What kind of movements do the players take between the national team coach and the Korea Football Association, which are not trusted by the public. The players will play hard, but the Kim Min-jae incident could come out again. It would be annoying for a player. When you come to get popularity and love from the audience, and you get booed, you can't feel good even if you say you're not. It can affect your performance. Korea met a difficult team in a difficult situation. It's not like this because of the players," he said.
He also expressed his thoughts on the recent pending questions of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee.
He said, "I felt that it was not worth talking about after watching the hearing. I felt that there were no adults in our soccer community. I thought the quality of life could be different according to certain standards. It was embarrassing that I played soccer. Are they right in the golden age of the best soccer. They judge that there is no problem. It is not worth talking about."
He also stressed that he should feel a sense of crisis about playing in the World Cup.
Lee said, "Of course, I will root for Korea to advance to the World Cup. We have to go to the World Cup. But we didn't make it to the Paris Olympics. It is possible to have a World Cup, too. Why don't you know? It continues to give room to Korean soccer right now, just as it gives room before a tsunami arrives. It keeps giving us the possibility that such results can come out. I've never thought that I can't participate in a World Cup, but it can be. It can be dangerous."
Lastly, when asked if there is a possibility that he will change his coach if he loses to Jordan and Iraq for two consecutive years, Lee said, "He will change no matter what. If we lose two games under the current circumstances, there is no justification. Losing two games is a matter of quality."
