Our national football team will be playing an evaluation match with Qatar on the night of the 17th.
In the third Corona 19 test, there were no additional confirmed players among the players, and the two scheduled evaluation matches could be finished once.

<Reporter> As a
result of the third Corona 19 test that came out last night, the soccer team found that one more staff member was positive, and no additional confirmed cases were found among the players.
With the availability of 19 players, excluding the six previously confirmed players, we decided to play the evaluation match as scheduled tonight in accordance with the rules of the International Football Federation and the wishes of the opponent Qatar Football Association.
[Son Heung-min/Soccer national team captain: It seems that our job is to prepare well for the game.
We will be able to see you at the stadium on Tuesday (today), and please give us a lot of support.]
Our players took great care in quarantine, such as wearing masks and relaxing.
Qatar, the winner of the 2019 Asian Cup, consists of the members who defeated us in last year's Asian Cup, such as Almoez Ali and Abdul Aziz Hatem, and the Taegeuk warriors are struggling.
[Son Heung-min/Soccer national team captain: It's a pity to think about the Asian Cup, but this time I want to be able to decorate it as a victory.]
[Hwang Ui-jo/Soccer national team attacker: If you have more concentration in the defense and show your goal determination in the attacking team, you will win enough. I think I can.]
Meanwhile, with a full-scale blockade in Austria from today, the football association said it is in discussions with the Austrian government so that players can return to Korea and their country as soon as possible as soon as the evaluation match is over.
