Hwang Hee-chan, who can’t play against Bahrain, is going to the press conference because

Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who is unable to participate in the team’s training due to an injury, will attend an official press conference for the first group match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. It is an inevitable choice for AFC to proceed with its unilateral schedule.

The Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will play its first Group E match at 8:30 p.m. on the 15th (Korea Standard Time) at Jasim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar.

Ahead of the full-fledged tournament, the Korea Football Association (KFA) unexpectedly faced an embarrassing situation with an official press conference schedule.

AFC notified KFA of the official press conference of the national team, which is scheduled for training at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday local time, at 12 p.m. The competition is being held at the official training site of each team, not at the stadium, and the press conference is being held at the main media center.

According to AFC’s schedule, Korea’s coach Klinsmann and the national team must move from the Al Egla Training Center to the MMC after finishing their training. An MMC takes about 20 minutes at the Al Egla Training Center. There is not enough time for the national team to move to the MMC after washing and repairing the facilities.

In response, the KFA asked AFC to postpone the official press conference from noon to 5 p.m. KFA says it cannot break the lifestyle of players, as it conducted training in the morning from its training camp in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates, which began on March 3.

However, AFC rejected KFA’s request, saying that it could affect the success of the tournament due to overlapping schedules with other groups’ games to be held in the afternoon.

As a result, Korea has decided to put the injured Hwang Hee-chan up for an official press conference. Hwang Hee-chan complained of discomfort in his left hip muscle in Abu Dhabi, and has been doing individual training since joining Doha. Hwang will not be able to play until the second group match against Jordan. 헤라카지노

“We plan to follow AFC’s plan until the third round of the group league, which has already been finalized. However, after the round of 16 tournaments, we requested that the official press conference be held at the latest hour,” a KFA official said.
