Coach Hak-beom Kim of the Korean men's soccer Olympic team vowed to pour all his energy into the match ahead of the match against Romania.
Coach Hak-beom Kim said through the Korea Football Association today (24th), one day before the group B match between Romania and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics men's soccer group, "I have no place to retreat anyway," and "I will concentrate on the match against Romania." .
Kim Hak-beom-ho, who challenges the best Olympic performance of Korean football in history, faced a barrier from the beginning when he suffered a shock loss to New Zealand, which was evaluated as the weakest in the group, in the first game on the 22nd (the 22nd).
To advance to the quarterfinals, they must be in the second place in the group, but Korea, which did not accumulate points in the first match, is currently third in the group (0 points).
To overcome the crisis, they need to secure a streak against Romania and Honduras in the remaining group stages.
Manager Kim, who watched the first match between Romania and Honduras right after the defeat in New Zealand, said, "Both Romania and Honduras have achieved good results from the qualifiers, and they seem to have prepared well for training. Tactically, we are well prepared.”
Director Kim emphasized, "We created a difficult situation, so we have to solve it." He emphasized, "I will prepare well and get through this difficult situation."
He also promised, "I believe in the players," and "I will not disappoint the people again."
The second group match between Korea and Romania will be held at the Kashima Stadium in Kashima, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan at 8 PM tomorrow (25th).
After beating Honduras 1-0 in the first leg, Romania is second in Group B.
