The first period of Hong Myung-bo will be announced.
The Korea Football Association will hold a press conference at the Korea Football Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul on August 26 to announce the list of South Korean national soccer teams that coach Hong Myung-bo will play in the September A match.
It is the first national team to be announced since Hong Myung-bo replaced former coach Jurgen Klinsman in July.
Ahead of the announcement of the national team, national team star Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) scored goals. Son Heung-min, the “captain,” scored multiple goals in the Premier League home game against Everton on the 24th. Lee Kang-in, who has been reborn as the ace of the national team, also scored his second goal of the season against Montpellier on the 24th.
As a number of new European players including Um Ji-sung (Swansea City) and Lee Young-joon (Grathhofer) were also born through this summer, attention is focusing on whether they will join the national team. Notably, Lee scored his debut goal just two minutes after his debut match.
In addition, Supernova Yang Min-hyuk, who confirmed his transfer to Tottenham after half a year since his K-League debut by bombing the K-League, is also expected to join the national team. As Hong Myung-bo has expressed his intention to value the K-League, attention is focusing on how many players will be able to play in the K-League. 스포츠토토
