It is still unclear whether the Tokyo Olympics will be held, but the players who were called for the training of the under-23 (U-23) soccer team led by coach Kim Hak-beom (61) did not run out of space for a moment. This is because competition for the Asian Games to be held in Hangzhou, China in September next year has actually started.
On the 1st, coach Kim Hak-beom and the players met at the sports complex of Gangchang Hak Sports Park in Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, continued to quench until the end even in the rain. In this convocation, 24 players were born in 1999, who experienced second place in the FIFA World Cup under 20 (U-20) last year. 23 Also included are 2000 born in the national team. There were 11 players born in 1999-2000 in total, and he was prepared for’after Tokyo’.
Coach Kim also ordered the young players to manage their performance in accordance with the tournament schedule during this training session. I made up my body during the 1st field training in Gangneung, and started the first evaluation match with Pohang on the 22nd of last month and held the evaluation match every four days at Seongnam on the 26th and Suwon FC on the 30th. The final evaluation match against Daejeon was held three days later, and was made similar to the tournament schedule that can take place in the Olympics and Asian Games. This is because I hope to experience the breath of the international competition at least once.
Although they had won all three games in the previous game, coach Kim was unsatisfied by saying, “I gave the players the homework to find a solution when I was heavy, but I wasn’t good.” In order to simulate the decrease in physical strength according to the tight schedule, physical training was put in once before the third game. He said, “I made a pre-evaluation schedule like that (similar to a tournament), but the players were struggling,” he said, and “but we still have to overcome it.”
Coach Kim mentioned the uniqueness of the national team of age groups, which showed a big difference in skill and experience even when they were only one or two years old, but it is said that among the new players who joined the national team, there was a prominent player. He drew a line saying, “The step of watching,” but asked for a steady performance, saying, “There are some players who come up late and will keep watching the players in this pool.” First, through this convocation, the players with Kim Hak-beom-ho will disband after the practice match against Daejeon on the 2nd.
