Our national team, which defeated Kyrgyzstan 5-1, will meet China on the way to the semifinals this Sunday. It is clear that we are at the top of the league, but the home team’s territoriality is expected to be a variable that cannot be ignored.

The national team’s next opponent is China. Although we are ahead in terms of objective power, we can never be at ease.
First of all, I am worried about biased judgment.
In the round of 16 against Qatar yesterday, China wasted time by intentionally falling after scoring the first goal.
However, the referee was negligent in applying extra time.
China won 1-0, and the Qatari players protested harshly to the referee.
In particular, there is no video review at the Asian Games. Therefore, the atmosphere of the stadium may result in a decision that favors the home team.

“There will probably be a lot of spectators, but it may be the most difficult time.”

“Of course, all players know this, but I think it will be a difficult game.”
We also have to worry about injuries.
Last June, Eom Won-sang, Cho Young-wook, and Ko Young-jun suffered injuries in two friendly matches against China.
Even if they beat China and advance to the semifinals, injuries are bad news for the national team.

national team plans to travel to Hangzhou today to prepare for the quarterfinals.
