At 3 a.m. local time on November 13th, South Korea, the South Korean Olympic team will play a friendly match with the Egyptian Olympic team at the Egyptian National Stadium. This is also the most valuable confrontation between the two sides before the Tokyo Olympics. The South Korean Olympic team won the Asian U23 Championship, and the Egyptian Olympic team was also the champion of the African U23 Championship. The confrontation between the two teams represents the best level of Asia and Africa in the U23 age group. Being able to be invited to participate in such a friendly match is a rare opportunity for the South Korean Olympic team, and for those fringe internationals, the chance to finally save their destiny will be officially opened.
According to the registration rules of the Olympic Games, only 22 people will eventually board the flight to Tokyo, Japan, and 3 of them are over-age players. That is to say, only 19 people from the Korean Olympic team have the chance to enter the final Tokyo Olympics. List. In the U23 Championship at the beginning of the year, many players will be brushed down. Of course, for Bai Shenghao, Li Shengyou, Li Zaiyi, Zheng Youying, and Qian Chengxun who did not participate in the competition, this is probably their last chance to redeem themselves. At present, most of these five players are marginalized in Europe. Except for Zheng Youying and Li Shengyou who can maintain a stable appearance, including Bai Shenghao, they have few chances to appear. This Olympic team's competition also gave them a rare opportunity to prove their strength. Of course, for these players, they know very well that this is the only and the last chance to save. If you miss this Olympics, you can only accept the fate of ending your European career early and returning to Jinquan Sangmu.
Coach Kim Hek-fan attaches great importance to this warm-up match. In addition to the first match of the African champion and the host of the Egyptian Olympic team, the South Korean Olympic team will also play against the South American runner-up Brazil Olympic team at 10 pm local time on the 14th. Jin Hefan said: "The strength of both opponents is above us. No matter what the final result of the match is, I will find our problem. It is very rare to have such a chance to play, and I am very happy about it." In fact, since U23 After winning the Asian Cup, the South Korean Olympic team did not have an official game for 9 months, and the "game match" with the national team last month was only a warm-up, not a real test. This time, Jin Hefan recruited 23 people, including returnees. Many of these 23 people are outstanding in the club, such as the best rookie in this year's league Song Minguo, "Rooney of Korea" Cao Yongxu, U20 World Cup runner-up center Wu Sehun, etc. After Li Dongjun and other main players were first transferred by the national team, this is also an opportunity for these marginal players to show their strength. In particular, Song Mincuo and Cao Yongxu, who were entrusted with important responsibilities in the warm-up match last month, could completely squeeze out the places originally given to over-age players if they perform better.
What kind of performance will the Korean Olympic team play in the first game? Tomorrow’s early morning game, just watch it if you want! All in all, if you want to catch the flight to the Tokyo Olympics, these two games are definitely the best opportunities to show your strength and get the appreciation of the coach.
