Toyoda, Japan - Midfielder Bae Jun-ho, despite persistent criticism surrounding South Korean football, remains focused on his team's preparations for the Asian Games. Bae and his fellow "Taegeuk Warriors," who have won the past three gold medals, aim to secure a fourth consecutive win. However, the senior national team's poor World Cup performance and the U-23 team's fourth-place finish in the Asian Football Confederation U-23 Asian Cup have raised concerns about the state of the sport.
Bae, a 23-year-old midfielder for Stoke City, acknowledges the pressure but emphasizes the importance of concentrating on winning. He believes in both his team's defense and attacking prowess and hopes to score early goals to ease the pressure for the team.
