“We will win the gold medal while showing good form step by step.”
Seung-ho Baek (Jeonbuk Hyundai) spoke to reporters on behalf of the team before departing for China via Incheon International Airport on Nov. 16 and vowed to win a gold medal, especially as he will captain the men’s soccer team at the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games (AG).
“Of course, I’m aiming for gold,” Baek Seung-ho said. We had a short preparation period, but we did our best, so we will show our best and win the gold medal one by one,” he said, adding, “I think it’s easier for me to be the captain because there are so many experienced and good players, and they follow me well. I will lead them well so that we can play the way we have been preparing.”
When asked if he received any advice from AG seniors who have won gold before him, Baek Seung-ho laughed, saying, “It’s not advice, but rather pressure from (Kim) Min-jae, (Jung) Tae-wook, and other players who won gold before me, saying that I should win gold unconditionally.” 온라인바카라
With the confirmation of Lee Kang-in’s (Paris Saint-Germain) arrival, the gold medal challenge has gained even more momentum. “I felt that the team was united as a whole during the workout, and if (Lee) comes, we will be able to work even better as a team and win the gold medal,” said Baek Seung-ho.
In conclusion, Baek Seung-ho said, “We must not concede a goal. We have a lot of quality players in the attacking line, so I think we will score goals, so it’s important not to concede,” he said. “Not only me, but the whole defense line is preparing hard.”
