Penalty shootout was also successful.

The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, won 4-2 in a penalty shoot-out after finishing the first and second halves and overtime 1-1 in the round of 16 against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 31st (Korean time).

We won and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Until just before the end of the second half, Klinsmann’s defeat was clear.

The Korean national soccer team, who conceded a goal to Abdullah Radif in the first minute of the second half, was unable to score a goal to make up for it even when extra time began in the second half, and was on the verge of elimination.

After more than 8 minutes of the 10 minutes of additional time had passed, Cho Gue-sung took on the role of the Klinsmann’s problem solver.

A cross from the right side hit the head of Seol Young-woo (Ulsan), who entered the penalty box from the other side, and headed toward the goal.

Cho Gue-sung, who overcame the defense and competition, jumped up and attempted a heading shot again, and the ball passed over Cho Gue-sung’s head and fell into the empty goal.

It was the ‘one shot’ that saved Korean soccer at a moment of desperation.

Thanks to Cho Gue-sung’s golden score, Jurgen Klinsmann was once again given the opportunity to decide the winner from square one, and eventually defeated Saudi Arabia in a penalty shootout and advanced to the quarterfinals.

On this day, Cho Gue-sung was replaced by Lee Jae-seong (Mainz) in the 19th minute of the second half.

Cho Gue-sung, who won the competition for the front line of Lake Klinsmann, appeared as a starting striker in all three group league games, but received strong criticism from fans due to his poor performance.

In all three games, the team continued to take the lead and go on the offensive, but as Cho Gue-sung repeatedly missed easy scoring opportunities, Klinsmann suffered unexpected struggles against teams that were considered one level below him.

Klinsmann, who drew 2-2 in the second game of Group E with Jordan, also drew 3-3 in the third game with Malaysia, and fans’ doubts grew as to whether they would be able to achieve their first win in 64 years.

Coincidentally, during this tournament, a portion of a TV entertainment program that Cho Gue-sung recorded in the past was aired, and criticisms such as ‘Focus on soccer, not entertainment’ emerged, harassing Cho Gue-sung.

Cho Gue-sung proved his true worth with his ‘skill’ in the fourth game of this tournament.

He repaid the faith of Manager Klinsmann, who hired him, by hitting the net with his trademark high-RBI header.

This is Cho Gue-sung’s 9th goal in his 35th A match (match between national teams).

Cho Gue-sung has a deep connection with Education City Stadium, where Korea and Saudi Arabia competed to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.

The reason why Cho Gue-sung rose to stardom was because of his performance in this stadium.

The second match against Ghana in the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup group stage was held here.

The national team, which challenged the World Cup under former coach Paulo Bento, lost the game 2-3, but Cho Gue-sung scored two goals with a header, giving comfort to Korean soccer fans.

At the time, Cho Gue-sung scored two goals, beating Uruguay, who had the same record of one win, one draw, and one loss, and Bentoho was able to advance to the round of 16 by taking second place in the group after Portugal.

In fact, it was only when Cho Gue-sung arrived at the stadium that he found out that the round of 16 would be played at Education City Stadium, the ‘promised land’.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Cho Gue-sung said, “I came to the stadium, and I thought it was a stadium I had seen many times, so (Hwang) Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) asked my brother.

He said it was the stadium for the match against Ghana.

As soon as I heard it, I thought ‘that’s it’ and laughed to myself.”

He told the story afterwards.

Cho Gue-sung, who was excluded from the starting lineup that day and watched the game from the bench, said, “I prepared thinking I would score in any situation,” and at the moment of scoring, “I felt very disappointed (that I had not scored) until now.

I finally realized that a goal had been scored.” “I heard it,” he said.

He strengthened his motivation against Australia, the quarterfinal opponent, saying, “I heard (the players) are extremely tall, so I will try my best to clash with them.”

Cho Gue-sung, who scored three field goals at Education City Stadium alone, was actually able to score his fourth field goal on the day as well.

In a counterattack in the 3rd minute of the second half of extra time, the moment goalkeeper Ahmad Alcázar left the goal, Cho Gue-sung had a chance to shoot, but he made a poor decision to give it to the side and the goal was cancelled.

Putting his regrets behind him, Cho Gue-sung took the third kicker in the penalty shootout and calmly hit the net, contributing to victory even at the last minute.

In an interview with a broadcaster after the game, Cho Gue-sung said, “I had more opportunities, but I think I feel more disappointed because I couldn’t use them all.”

He said, “Earlier, when (Lee) Kang-in sent a cross, I said, ‘This is enough,’ but unfortunately, it hit the goalpost, and I thought, ‘There will be another one next time.'”

He added, “The moment (Seol) Young-woo gave it to me, I said, ‘This is a goal.’ 온라인카지노

“I think I thought so,” he added.
