Jung Woo-young played a key role in the men’s national soccer team at the Asian Games. Although he is a side striker, he scored eight goals in the competition to become the top scorer. He was responsible for Hwang Sun-hong’s scoring with his excellent scoring ability. He scored the first goal in the men’s soccer final against Japan at the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games held at Huanglong Sports Center in Hangzhou, China on the 7th.
After the game, Jung Woo-young said, “Thank you for playing until the end. Together, we were able to win the gold medal. It was a burden because it was the last national team match by age while preparing for this tournament. Let’s have fun together. “As I was older, I was responsible for scoring a goal when I had a chance,” he said. 안전놀이터
Jung Woo-young scored a lot of header goals in this tournament. He explained, “There are not many header scores, but the coaching staff said they had a good sense in this tournament, so I asked to put it only into the net, but I went into the goal.”
However, there is a regret. Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich City), who joined as a wild card at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Games five years ago, failed to exceed the nine goals scored. Jung Woo-young said, “I didn’t score one goal than Eui-jo, but I feel good to win the title as the ‘scoring king,'” adding, “I say a lot that I spent all my luck in this tournament as a joke.” “I tried to set a record for Eui-jo, but it wasn’t easy,” he said. Regarding Hwang’s 11 goals at the 1994 Hiroshima Games when he was active, Hwang said, “It’s too high. (When I played in the Asian Games) I felt that the coach was amazing,” he said with a tongue-in-cheek.
It’s “Happy Ending.” After solving the military service problem, I’m going back to my team. Jung Woo-young said, “It was hard, but I had a lot of happy times. There was a lot of time to laugh and chat with all the players, and it was time and weight to grow once more,” he said. “Let’s have fun as it’s not exempt from military service but playing for the national team.” I said let’s enjoy it because it was an honor, so I won the gold medal. “I think it will be very helpful if I go back to Germany (my experience in this tournament and my victory),” he said.
