• Jung Wooyoung could be key in Korea Republic’s final Russia 2018 qualifiers
• The Taeguk Warriors are in risk of blank their initial World Cup given 1982

Korea Republic are during a indicate of no lapse in a subordinate debate for a 2018 FIFA World Cup Russiaâ„¢. With Iran already qualified, a Taeguk Warriors are left to conflict it out opposite Uzbekistan for Group A’s remaining involuntary subordinate spot. And heading a Central Asians by usually a point, it means that they can’t means any slips-up in a remaining dual games if they are to secure their tenth coming in a universe football’s extravaganza.

A array of below-par performances, that enclosed a 1-0 better in China PR and a 3-2 detriment opposite Qatar in a final fixture, has put their debate in jeopardy. The unsatisfactory formula cost manager Uli Stielike his job, with a German recently transposed by former Korea Republic general midfielder Shin Taeyong. Having dominated Asia’s subordinate for so long, during that they have hermetic march to a World Cup on 8 uninterrupted occasions, it seems that a South Koreans’ invincibility is underneath critical inspection for a initial time.

Despite a problems confronting them, though, midfielder Jung Wooyoung has mislaid small confidence. “Like any other players from via a world, we see gift to a World Cup as a many critical achievement,” a 27-year-old Chongqing Lifan actor told FIFA.com.”It is a dream we have harboured given childhood. It (the remaining berth) will be motionless shortly and we don’t wish to finish with any regret. We trust we can finally bind a sheet to Russia 2018.”

The tasks confronting them are indeed daunting. Coach Shin’s charges face undefeated Iran during a finish of this month in a diversion that they contingency win, before travelling to Tashkent 5 days after to tackle Uzbekistan in what is potentially a make-or-break. “Being frank, a fixtures supplement to a problems since we have to play a final diversion away,” continued Jung, who has done 7 subordinate appearances in their bid for Russia 2018.

“In Asia, a Korea Republic group has grown a repute of feeling clever opposite any team. We always trust that we are a best regardless of a opponent. We can make it by as prolonged as we say a confidence.”

A actor of unselfishness
A product of internal Kyung Hee University, a Ulsan-born Jung done his name in Japan during his spells with a likes of Kyoto Sanga, Jubilo Iwata and Vissel Kobe. Capable of defensive roles as possibly a executive behind or a defensive midfielder, Jung has also tender by his accurate prolonged passes and brazen forays from deep. He featured as Korea Republic’s Olympic group won bronze during London 2012, and when Stielike took over he gave Jung his initial comparison inhabitant group call-up in 2015.

“I was called adult to a inhabitant group when we was in a J League,” he recalled. “I consider it is substantially my aptness and flitting ability that done some sense on manager (Stielike). we was feeling propitious and we was so beholden (for being a inhabitant group player). Of course, we can see there are still many areas where we need to improve.”

From afterwards on, Jung has figured for Korea Republic in 7 subordinate matches, in that they all won. Usually deployed alongside captain Ki Sungyueng in a centre of a park, Jung shoulders poignant burden.

“I am placed between a defenders and aggressive players,” he explained. “I should run tough and try my best to assistance my team-mates in both counterclaim and attack. It is a purpose that requires sacrifice. In football, usually a group matters. So we am prepared and blissful to be positioned in any place if it is good for a team.”

Jung was not called adult for a past 3 games, in that they mislaid twice. With a wilful matches with Iran and Uzbekistan appearing large, Jung’s knowledge would be useful in a circumstances. “It is always a tip honour to play for your country, though it means shortcoming too. we didn’t live adult to a expectations formerly though we am prepared to infer myself.”
