Seol Young-woo's presence in the Fullback Crisis is a great help to Hong Myung-bo.
The Korea Football Association unveiled the list of South Korean national soccer teams to play in Group B 7 and Jordan in Group B of the third qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup between North Korea and China at 11 a.m. on the 10th at the soccer center in Jongno-gu, Seoul.
It was the selection of full-backs that drew attention even before the list was released. There was a clear full-back line even when Kim Jin-soo, Hong Chul, and Lee Ki-je played on the left and Lee Yong and Kim Tae-hwan played on the right. As they got older and were excluded, the full-back became Muju Gongsan.
There was an opinion that new fullbacks should be tested at the time when veterans are coming down, but young fullbacks who play in the league should know that they have not been able to perform when they come to the national team.
Coach Hong Myung-bo picked Lee Tae-seok and Cho Hyun-taek on the left and Park Seung-wook and Hwang Jae-won on the right. Among the four players, Hwang Jae-won plays the most A-match games, with three. Park Seung-wook played two games, Lee Tae-seok played one game, and Cho Hyun-taek played for the first time. It is true that those who have strong capabilities feel somewhat uneasy because they lack experience.
Having Seol is a tremendous boost. Seol became a fullback for the Korean national team by banking on his stellar performance at Ulsan HD and gained experience by playing at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup. Already, he has played 22 A-match games. After moving to Tsurvena or Zvezda, he became a fullback in Europe and played various roles including left and right and stopper.
During this season, he played 21 matches in the Zvezda league, recorded five goals and three assists, and posted three assists in eight matches in the UEFA Champions League. He has displayed impressive performance so far that he is evaluated as the best player in Zvezda.
Seol Young-woo can play both left and right fullbacks and knows better than anyone what kind of soccer he should play with Hong Myung-bo in Ulsan. Currently, Seol Young-woo is a big help to coach Hong Myung-bo. 먹튀검증
If Seol Young-woo plays on the right, Lee Tae-seok and Cho Hyun-taek will compete at left-back and be evaluated for their competitiveness. On the other hand, Hwang Jae-won and Park Seung-wook will be evaluated on the left. In other words, Seol Young-woo is the core of the core.
