Oh Hyun-gyu, The Reason Saudi Arabia Conceded so few Goals

Asian Cup Oh Hyun-gyu "The Reason Saudi Arabia Conceded so few Goals? Because they haven't Played Against Korea yet"

“They say Saudi Arabia doesn’t concede many goals, but that’s because they haven’t met us yet.”

Korean national soccer team's striker Oh Hyun-gyu (Celtic) showed confidence heading into the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup against Saudi Arabia.

The national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, trained at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar, on the 28th.

Oh Hyun-gyu met with reporters prior to training and said, "All members of the national team are preparing for the Saudi match with one mind. 온라인카지노사이트

I will go into the game with the determination that it will be the finals," and added, "I have completed all preparations.

I will show it with my performance, not words."

There is a lot of criticism towards the national team, which has repeatedly performed poorly in the group stage.

However, Oh Hyun-gyu said that there was no problem with the atmosphere within the team.

He said, “(Son) Heung-min (Tottenham) is always positive.

“I especially try to cheer up the attackers and midfielders by saying nice things or joking with them,” he said.

“The youngest members also try to help create a good atmosphere.”

“If you look at it from the outside, there may be concerns about the team atmosphere, but we passed the group stage well and there are no major problems,” he said.

Saudi Arabia, led by Italian Coach Roberto Mancini, scored only one penalty kick in three group stage games.

He showed a solid defense, including giving up.

However, Oh Hyun-gyu was not very wary of Saudi Arabia's defensive ability.

Oh Hyun-gyu shouted, “We analyzed Saudi Arabia’s strength, and we can win if we just play the game we prepared.”

Korea's strikers are not playing their part in this tournament.

Cho Kyu-seong (Midtjylland), who started as a starter for three consecutive games, has blown away several easy scoring opportunities and is scoring only zero goals.

Oh Hyun-gyu, who appeared as a substitute in two games, also did not show much of an impression.

Oh Hyun-gyu said, “Even if I don’t score a goal, if the team wins, my scoreless score doesn’t really matter.”

He continued, "(Cho) Gyu-seong and I talked a lot with my brother.

There is definitely pressure on the strikers, but they need to score to be recognized," and added, "The coach also wants goals from the strikers.

Any situation can happen in front of the goal, so it's simple."

“I will play creatively and score goals,” he said.

The Asian Cup round of 16 match between Korea and Saudi Arabia will kick off at Al Rayyan's Education City Stadium at 1 a.m. on the 31st, Korean time.
