[Anchor] Did you watch soccer yesterday?
Our national team is sailing in the North-China World Cup qualifying round after beating Iraq.
[Anchor] Let's take a look at yesterday's game with commentator Kim Dae-gil.
[Anchor]
I was actually worried about the Iraq war yesterday. Son Heung-min is out, too. But our young players fought really well. How did you see it?

[Kim Daegil]
Nicely done. In fact, many people were worried. Son Heung-min must be an irreplaceable player. And Hwang Hee-chan was injured in the match against Jordan, so I wondered how I could fill the spot, but the young players did so well.

And yesterday, overall, team speed and de-pressurizing space movements went so well. So there was something that was disappointing. I was disappointed when I lost two goals.Ma did very well in terms of the overall game. I think we can evaluate it like this.

[Anchor]
What do you think you did particularly well?

[Kim Daegil]
First of all, we moved to the original team. Soccer is not an individual game, but when 11 players and players in the field have to move together, the team's power can be maximized. So Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan finished the game as one team without them. I think this is the most important point.

[Anchor]
We fought well as a one-team team, but we were nervous because Iraq's counterattack was so strong until the second half of the extra time.

[Kim Daegil]
There's something we need to prepare for. Initially, I expected Iraq to fall down a little and use defense-oriented tactics, but in fact, it has been forward-deployed. I put quite aggressive pressure on him. So there was a difficult process for us to build up.

But if you look at Iraq, one of the most difficult teams in our group was Iraq. So Iraq also had a formidable power. I lost the overall game yesterday.Ma did a good job.

[Anchor]
It's the first scene where I lost a point in Iraq, and I like my personal talent.

[Kim Daegil]
Hussein is a very well-known striker in the Asian zone. He said he had to catch the player well, but in the end. I think we need to prepare the set piece situation more precisely. Because, in general, we are ahead of ourselves, so what can reveal loopholes to the opponent is counterattack, otherwise it's a suspended scene. I think we need to prepare for this.

[Anchor]
Please show us the scene where we score a goal. Oh Se-hoon, Oh Hyun-kyu, and Lee Jae-sung.

[Anchor]
Most of the players who posted attack points yesterday were young players. Please briefly introduce what kind of player you are.

[Kim Daegil]
First of all, Oh Se-hoon is from Hyundai Youth. I went to the broadcast during the final of my high school. There was a player with great physicality standing in the center. So he said he would go to the national team. I didn't get used to it at first.

But now, he is fully adapted and shows off his presence as a central striker. Oh Hyun-kyu is also from Suwon Samsung. Oh Hyun-kyu couldn't play when he came to the national team, but his decision-making ability improved.

I was evaluated as a dull style. Recently, his team has also scored three goals in eight games, and you can think of it as a situation where such decision-making power improves.

[Anchor]
Let's look at the third goal. It was Lee Jae-sung's header.

[Kim Daegil]
Lee Jae-sung needs salt when he cooks. But it's the same in soccer. It's like salt. While doing bad things everywhere, I gave Lee Jae-sung a nickname, Modric, when I was broadcasting him. There is a Croatian master midfielder.

It's because his hairstyle is short now, but Lee Jae-sung's hair was dull at that time. It was that kind of style. Lee Jae-sung, who only served as a link, is now equipped with decisive power. I think we should look at it like this, that the degree of completion is quite high.

[Anchor]
Oh Hyun-kyu mentioned earlier, but he took the mound without his number because he was a reserve player at the last Qatar World Cup. How are you going to be promising in the future?

[Kim Daegil]
It is hard to say that Oh Hyun-kyu is the main player in his team. It's about 105 minutes for an eight-game trip, but I scored three goals. So I came in to replace it, and it clearly expresses its presence. So if Oh Hyun-kyu gets used to the national team little by little. I'm still a young player. Wouldn't it reach a peak point by the time we go to the North-China World Cup? I'm looking forward to it a lot.

[Anchor]
Lee Seung-woo was one of the players I haven't seen in a long time in yesterday's game. When I saw Lee Seung-woo, he said he came up on KTX standing.

[Kim Daegil]
I don't think he knew he'd be selected either. The reason is that everyone acknowledges Lee Seung-woo's genius, but he had the disadvantage of not melting into the team. So far, the national team coach has always had Lee Seung-woo in his head, but he hasn't selected him.

However, I think Coach Hong Myung-bo made the judgment that Lee Seung-woo is sufficiently controllable when selecting him. So I came out as a substitute in the second half.Ma is such a nice face. In addition, as such players joined the national team, they expanded a lot. This is quite encouraging.

[Anchor]
You're in first place in Group B. Is it my 10th consecutive World Cup appearance?

[Kim Daegil]
11 times.


[Anchor]
I heard that it's over the 5th ridge. Show us the graphic, Group B. Korea is No. 1, Jordan is No. 2, and Iraq is No. 3.

[Kim Daegil]
According to foreign media reports, they reported it right after the game yesterday. 99.5 percent of South Korea made it to the World Cup finals. There is a possibility. I think it's very unlikely that it will fall. That's the way I see it. Among the teams in Group B, Jordan and Iraq had the highest FIFA rankings. But by overpowering that team, it seems that the rest of the game will be easy to go.

[Anchor]
Isn't there a last hurdle?

[Kim Daegil]
First of all, it's Middle Eastern countries. So, in general, our national teams were having a hard time controlling their condition when they went to the Middle East. It seems that there will be nothing particularly difficult as long as it does well and the risk of not only getting injured when the players return to their teams is eliminated.

[Anchor]
Director Hong Myung-bo said, "There was a controversy over the appointment process. Go to the National Assembly. What do you think? What's the public opinion of the fans?
[Kim Dae-gil]
Public opinion is not that easy. However, in the interim announcement of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's audit, he said that there seems to be a procedural problem, but we can't cancel the contract or something like this. Also, from the perspective of the association, there is no problem with the procedure.

And then director Hong Myung-bo explained, "I don't think I've benefited." Still, sports cannot grow without the support and love of fans, especially in soccer. Despite such explanations, there is clearly something I don't understand from the fans' point of view. I think the association should clearly provide information based on facts.

[Anchor]
Is it still undecided whether Chung Mong-kyu, president of the Korea Football Association, will seek a fourth consecutive term?

[Kim Daegil]
I've never heard of it either. I've never heard that you're going to do it or not. I sometimes see you at the venue or stadium. I don't think anyone has ever heard of that. However, the chairman of the association is not a position that I do just because I want to do it. Obviously, the football association also has a democratic election method, so it seems to be a matter to be decided from there.

But you'll probably express your position soon. You'll have to think about various fans, and you'll have to think about the public sentiment toward delegates and electors. with a variety of thoughts I think it'll be too late to talk about it then if I make a presentation. I don't think it's possible for me to actively comment like this.

[Anchor]
Hong Myung-bo explained in detail yesterday's victory. Thank you very much. It was with commentator Kim Dae-gil.
