Four consecutive Asian Games gold, three consecutive finals won against Japan – this time against future Japan National Team boss Go Oiwa. We’ve done it again – military exemption secured for a generation of Korean footballing talent. Bae Jun Ho, Eom Ji Sung, Yang Hyun Jun, Kim Ji Soo, Shin Min Ha, etc. have either saved or extended their European careers or for the K League contingent, opened a pathway to Europe. Lee Gi Hyeok, one of our surprise stars of the recent World Cup and widely expected to make the leap soon, actually took a gamble by not even registering for Gimcheon Sangmu, the army team.
I will add our thoughts on Lee Min Sung and the Asian Games campaign shortly, as well as a discussion of Moreno’s struggles against Uruguay and Venezuela later this weekend.
Amazing! Winning on Japanese soil and spoiling Oiwa Go’s sendoff to their senior NT – perfect. Lee Min Sung did his job
Yet again we win in spite of the manager
