Hong Myungbo, "I'm confident".Kim Minjae, "I'll communicate and stop you."

Coach Hong Myung-bo, who leads the national soccer team, vowed to win the third World Cup qualifying round against Iraq this evening.

Coach Hong Myung-bo said in an official press conference held yesterday ahead of the Iraq match that he will prepare to bring good results after the match against Jordan.

Coach Hong expressed expectations, saying, "As Hwang Hee-chan and Um Ji-sung have left the team, how much alternative resources do is important," especially for Bae Joon-ho, who played in the match against Jordan, saying, "The growth rate is fast."

At the press conference together, Kim Min-jae, the captain of the national soccer team, emphasized communication with young players, saying that it is important to bring results as it is a "six-point" match against second place at home.

Our national team, which led Group B with victories in both Oman and Jordan, can continue its lead-up dominance if it beats Iraq.

Let's hear from coach Hong Myung-bo and captain Kim Min-jae.

[Hong Myung-bo / Head coach of the national soccer team: Overall, the team has gained a bit of confidence and I think it's a lot better than September in many ways, but we still have one game left and the players will prepare well to bring good results tomorrow.]

[Kim Minjae / National soccer team defender: (Husein) is a striker but he is a persistent and tenacious player, so I'll talk to the inexperienced players well and cover them up, and when I'm strong, I'll block them well]
