Korean coach: “Indonesia U23 is formidable thanks to Shin Tae Yong’s coaching talent”

“One of Indonesia’s strengths is being led by coach Shin Tae Yong. He has been with the players for a long time,” coach Hwang Seon Hong expressed before the 2024 AFC U23 quarter-finals between Korea and Indonesia at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium (Qatar) tomorrow morning (00:30 April 26, Vietnam time).

U23 Korea won first place in Group B with 3 consecutive wins, defeating UAE, China and Japan in the group stage. Thanks to that, U23 Korea avoided the strongest team in Group A, host country U23 Qatar, and met second place team U23 Indonesia.

In terms of historical achievements, U23 Korea has a completely different confrontation history with U23 Indonesia with all 5 wins. However, coach Hwang Seon Hong’s team will have to be cautious against the formidable strength of U23 Indonesia in this tournament when the island team shocked with victories over U23 Australia and U23 Jordan in the group stage.

“The opponent is an organized and solid team. Their attackers are all talented players, but instead of thinking about their strengths, we need to prepare well and play in our own style. .

We must control space well and not give space to our opponents. We will try to make everything as simple as possible,” coach Hwang Seon Hong shared before the match.

The Korean strategist also affirmed that this is an important match in his goal of winning one of the three tickets to attend the 2024 Paris Olympics as well as the championship of the tournament.

“This match is very important. Regardless of the opponent, we must prepare well and play with high determination in tomorrow’s match and win,” coach Hwang Seon Hong added.
