Hwang Sun-hong not smiling after round of 16 win

"When you get a lead and you can't sink your opponent, you struggle. I think today was one of those games where we learned that lesson."

Asian Games head coach Hwang Sun-hong did not celebrate after the 5-1 win and quarterfinal victory.

Hwang Sun-hong's Asian Games men's football team continued their quest for a third consecutive title with a 5-1 victory over Kyrgyzstan in the men's football round of 16 at the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games on Sunday at the Jinhua Sports Center in Zhejiang, China. As the scoreline suggests, the team's excellent form, which saw them score 16 goals and keep no clean sheets in their three group games, continued in the Round of 16. Four games totaled 21 points and one goal. It's safe to say that they've completely dominated the Asian Games stage so far.

However, that one goal may have been a thorn in the side of Hwang Sun-hong's side. Just a minute after Baek Seung-ho (Jeonbuk Hyundai) scored the first goal for South Korea on a penalty kick, Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) added another. It was a quick flurry, but the momentum was short-lived. To make matters worse, a sloppy play cost them. In the 28th minute, Baek Seung-ho lost his touch on a pass near the halfway line. This allowed Maksat Aligulov to steal the ball, which he converted after advancing all the way into the penalty box. The wounds of the one-goal deficit seemed to fade quickly as South Korea piled on three more late goals.

But head coach Hwang Sun-hong and his players didn't forget. Speaking to the media after the game, Hwang said, "I'm happy to move on to the next round," but added, "I think soccer is a game of flow. If we don't sink the opponent when we have the lead, we give them a chance. That's why we struggle. I think today was one of those lessons (for the players). Hopefully, we won't have to play like this in the future."

The Korean team turned things around in the second half. They scored three quick points to turn a tight game into a one-sided affair. Coach Hwang Sun-hong said, "After the first half, there were a lot of loose parts of the game. Apart from the goal, we made a lot of mistakes. There were a lot of backward passes when we were attacking and trying to move forward. We focused a little bit on that at halftime. "Ball possession is very important for us to be in control of the game. We made substitutions to reinforce that."

"There were a lot of problems today when we weren't organized. We had a lot of problems when we weren't organized. We didn't face many of those situations in the qualifiers, so the players were a little bit unfamiliar with the situation, a little bit lacking in situational awareness. Psychologically, we struggled a little bit in the chasing position." "In the quarterfinals, there will be many such situations. Psychologically, you have to be able to handle it. We have three days off after today's match. We'll try to organize that in there and get ready for the quarterfinals, the semifinals and the final."

Meanwhile, South Korea's next opponent is the hosts, China. They've made it all the way to the quarterfinals, but their home fans will be cheering them on regardless of the event. There are many expectations that the game will be decided 토토사이트 by home advantage. Coach Hwang Sun-hong said, "It's a scenario we've been expecting. "If we can't overcome the pressure of the large home crowd and the rough play of our opponents, I don't think we can win the gold medal. I don't think anyone can stand in our way. We will take it one step at a time with our players. I think it's going to be a very good match."
