Lee Young-pyo overturns the data from the final match against Japan
The men's soccer team led by coach Hwang Seon-hong won the gold medal with a thrilling comeback win against Japan in the finals of the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games.
KBS commentator Lee Young-pyo, who cheered until he was hoarse, applauded the Korean national team and coach Hwang Seon-hong for showing their best play at a critical moment.
On the 7th, Commissioner Lee Young-pyo and caster Nam Hyeon-jong broadcast Korea's 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games men's soccer final against Japan live on KBS 2TV. Before the game started, Commissioner Lee Young-pyo expressed his expectations for Jung Woo-young, who showed good pace, saying, “Jung Woo-young said in an interview, ‘I think he will score a goal when he goes out on the field,’ and I hope he will score at least one goal in today’s game as well.” He then pointed out the key point to watch, saying, “We must not give space to the starters who cross the center line by putting strong pressure on them.”
Japan's Uchino took the lead by scoring the first goal two minutes into the first half. Commissioner Lee Young-pyo boosted morale by saying, “The unfortunate thing is that we conceded a goal too early, but the fortunate thing is that we conceded a goal so quickly that we have enough time to make up for it.” Despite Japan's strong forward pressure, Commissioner Lee Young-pyo said, “Our players have the ability to take off the pressure, so we can block them with build-up. He also analyzed, “It is important to escape the opponent’s pressure through passing play.”
s Commissioner Lee Young-pyo had expected, Korea started the chase with Jung Woo-young's golden equalizer in the 27th minute of the first half. Commissioner Lee Young-pyo said, “We need to use the make-up goal as an opportunity to bring the flow in our direction. “You must not let go here,” he said, ordering a swirling forward pressure. Afterwards, the Japanese goalkeeper managed to clear Cho Young-wook's sharp header. Lee Kang-in's mid-distance shot was also powerful, but it did not result in a goal. In addition, Jung Woo-young's shot was blocked by the Japanese goalkeeper and did not lead to an additional goal, but he continued to attack the Japanese camp. Caster Nam Hyeon-jong said, “Our players are showing beautiful soccer and eye-pleasing soccer with various patterns of play,” and hoped that the strong performance of the Korean national team would lead to goals.
Even as the second half began, Korea's strong pressure shook Japan's defensive line and put the Japanese players in a difficult position. Commissioner Lee Young-pyo advised, “In our own camp, we must be careful of fouls and play stably, but in the opponent’s deep camp, it is okay to try exemplary and creative play without fear of mistakes.” In the 11th minute of the second half, Hwang Jae-won counterattacked and quickly drove the ball into the Japanese penalty area. And the ball to Jung Woo-young led to Jo Young-wook, who pushed the ball between the goalkeeper's legs and scored a comeback goal. Commissioner Lee Young-pyo said, “The opponent had the ball, but they stole it through strong pressure. He cheered, saying, “The hustle play of these three players, Hwang Jae-won, Jeong Woo-young, and Cho Young-wook, who did not give up, led to the second goal.”
Afterwards, the Korean national team engaged in a fierce midfield battle with Japan and had a tight match, but no additional goals were scored. In the end, South Korea won 2-1 and secured the gold medal. Commissioner Lee Young-pyo was thrilled, saying, “I have data showing that Hwang Seon-hong has conceded the first goal and has never won, but I couldn’t bear to say it.” He added, “At the most crucial moment, he overturned something he had never done before.” He continued, “No matter which player came in, we showed the play we wanted to make on the pitch. He continued his praise, saying, “The players and coach Hwang Seon-hong’s resourcefulness made the Asian Games truly successful.”
The Korean men's soccer match, which was broadcast live by the commentator Lee Young-pyo and caster Nam Hyeon-jong's combination of cheerfulness, sharp analysis, and amazingly accurate predictions, ended on this day with the first three consecutive wins in Asian Games history.
