Minjae Kim “I will work hard” Jung Woo-young “I want to show you my good side”
Kim Min-jae returns to Korea ahead of the World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round
While Korean soccer was shaken by various scandals, all of the ‘Germany’ national team players entered the country to join Hwang Seon-hong.
Korean soccer’s ‘defensive core’ Min-jae Kim (Bayern Munich), Jae-seong Lee (Mainz), and Woo-young Jeong (Stuttgart) entered Korean soil through Incheon International Airport on the afternoon of the 18th.
Kim Min-jae, who entered through Terminal 2, told reporters, “I will work hard (for this national team),” and then quickly left the arrivals hall to join the national team.
Kim Min-jae, Lee Jae-seong, and Jung Woo-young will immediately join the Korean national team led by interim coach Hwang Seon-hong and prepare for two matches against Thailand in the second qualifying round of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia region. 스포츠 토토사이트
The national team, which was reorganized under Coach Hwang after the dismissal of former coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will begin its first training at Goyang Stadium in Gyeonggi-do at around 4 pm on this day.
The first match against Thailand will be held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 21st, and the second match will be held at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand at 9:30 p.m. on the 26th.
The match against Thailand is an A match played while the national team has been reduced to Korea’s ‘problem child’.
Not only was the national team eliminated in the semifinals after a poor performance at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, but it also raised the public’s eyebrows with ‘Table Tennis Gate’ and ‘Card Gate’.
Jung Woo-young was asked a question about ‘regaining trust’ in the national team at Terminal 1 and said, “It’s always an honor to come to the national team and I feel proud.”
He said, “I will do my best to show a good performance in this A match as well.”
Lee Jae-seong, who has been playing for the national team since 2015, left the arrival hall without any comment. 안전 슬롯사이트
