Hong Myung-bo, I caught Iraq...Three World Cup qualifiers in a row

[Anchor]
The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, beat "Middle East powerhouse" Iraq 3-2 and won three consecutive World Cup qualifiers.

The national team, which was anxious about the absence of captain Son Heung-min, took a pleasant victory with Oh Se-hoon, Oh Hyun-kyu, and Lee Jae-sung breaking out evenly.

I'm connecting you with a reporter. Reporter Cho Eun Ji!

We got a complete victory over Iraq, which was considered the 'biggest enemy', how was the game?

[Reporter]
South Korea and Iraq, which had never lost two wins and one draw side by side in the three World Cup qualifying matches, so our national team won 3-2 today's match, which was called the "Group B No. 1 decision."

Oh Se-hoon of the front line scored the first goal, and Oh Hyun-kyu and Lee Jae-sung scored one after another in the second half when they were trailing 1-1.

Oh Se-hoon scored his first goal in his fourth A-match, and Oh Hyun-kyu and Lee Jae-sung scored in two consecutive games, following last week's match against Jordan.

Coach Hong Myung-bo took a pleasant victory in the second half of the game after putting Baek Seung-ho, Hong Hyun-seok, and Lee Seung-woo evenly.

I was worried because captain Son Heung-min was not able to be with me due to injury and the opponent was Jordan and Iraq, the most difficult team. Hong Myung-bo won 2 consecutive games,

Especially in the fourth round of the World Cup qualifiers, he won three games and drew one, gaining 10 points, leading Group B, and crossing the fifth ridge of the North and Central America World Cup ticket.

More than 35,000 'full-capacity spectators' visited Mir Stadium in Yongin today,
Unlike Coach Hong Myung-bo's debut match in which
was played, there was a lot of enthusiastic cheering and shouting, and there was also a wave of cheering when he scored consecutive goals at the end of the game.

Coach Hong Myung-bo, who is suffering from controversy over the fairness of the appointment process, won the decision against Spanish coach Jesus Casas, who was mentioned as the head coach of our national team.

In today's game, the "young blood" performance stood out, so can I say that the generational change gunshots rang out?

[Reporter]
It seems that generational change has begun very naturally and successfully.

In this national team, captain Son Heung-min, who was at the center of the game on and off the field, was left early due to injuries, and there was a great concern that Hwang Hee-chan and Um Ji-sung were injured one after another in the away game in Jordan.

Young blood, strikers born in the 2000s filled the vacancy very well.

Oh Se-hoon, born in 1999, and Oh Hyun-kyu, born in 2001, tasted the goal side by side, adding tension to the striker competition that 34-year-old Joo Min-kyu kept.

The youngest member of the national team, 21-year-old Stoke City player Bae Jun-ho started on Son's spot, left wing, helping Oh Se-hoon score his debut goal,

After the last game against Jordan, he definitely impressed with the assist for two consecutive games.

Until the World Cup in North Korea and Central America two years later, player resources can be abundant in the long run, and tactics can be enriched through various combinations.

Through good faith competition, players can also maximize their power.

However, the defense, which lost two goals, still remained a homework.

Finding a partner for center back Kim Min-jae, who is the temporary captain, still seems to be a challenge.
