The Korean national soccer team will play the second match of Group E of the Asian Cup against Jordan at 8:30 p.m. on the 20th. Korea, which is attempting to win its first championship in 64 years, will advance to the round of 16 early with two wins if it defeats Jordan.

The Korean national team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, is evaluated as being one step ahead of Jordan in terms of objective strength. Korea ranks 23rd in the FIFA rankings, ahead of Jordan (87th). They have never lost against their opponents with 3 wins and 2 draws, and have been on a 3-game winning streak since May 2008.

However, Jordan's power is also formidable. Jordan lost 1-6 in the final friendly match against Japan ahead of this tournament, but defeated Malaysia 4-0 in the first match of the group stage. They are ranked first in Group E, beating Korea, which defeated Bahrain 3-1, on goal difference. You have to watch out for right attacker Moussa Al Tamari and left attacker Mahmoud Al Mardi, who scored two goals side by side. In particular, Al Tamari, the only Jordanian player from Europe, scored 3 goals in 16 regular league games this season as a member of French professional soccer Ligue 1 Montpellier.

While Korea had to deal with a large number of yellow cards from the first game against Bahrain, it also faced the unfortunate news that starting goalkeeper Kim Seung-gyu (Al-Shabaab) was out of action due to a ruptured cruciate ligament during training.

In Korea's game against Bahrain, five players, including offensive and defensive core Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), as well as Cho Kyu-sung (Midtjylland), Park Yong-woo (Al Ain), and Lee Ki-je (Suwon), received warnings. If you receive one more warning, you will not be able to play in the next game. Accumulated warnings remain until the quarterfinals, so proper management is necessary. However, Coach Klinsmann said at a press conference on the 19th, “It is not the mindset of a player if he cannot do 100% because of the warning. “He must go into the field, do his best, and accept it even if he gets a warning,” he said, expressing his intention not to significantly shake up the existing best 11.

There was also the variable of Kim Seung-gyu leaving the show. Seung-gyu Kim was injured during training on the 18th, and his magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan showed that the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee was ruptured, forcing him to leave the national team. It is a major loss of power following the injuries of Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) and Kim Jin-su (Jeonbuk). Coach Klinsmann said, “We have to accept it. “Other players must do their best to fulfill Kim Seung-gyu’s role,” he ordered. Backup goalkeepers Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan) and Song Bum-geun (Shonan Bellmare) are preparing to play.

If Korea defeats Jordan, it will be able to confirm its advancement to the round of 16 early and give its main players a chance to rest in the third group match against Malaysia (on the 25th).
