'Light' Hyun-woo, who "almost cried" after preventing a catastrophe, "My heart is heavy, but I will go further"

 


"My heart is heavy, but I will not stop here and will continue to work hard."

After filling in perfectly in the absence of star goalkeeper Kim Seung-kyu (Al-Shabab), Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan HD) expressed his disappointment at South Korea's exit from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup quarterfinals.

Jürgen Klinsmann's men fell short of the final after losing 0-2 to Jordan in the semifinals on Sunday night at 12:00 p.m. KST. They had their sights set on their first title in 64 years, but were thwarted by the 'Boks'.

It's disappointing. This is especially true for Cho Hyun-woo, who has been the goalkeeper since Kim Seung-gyu returned home early with an ACL injury. He saved a thrilling penalty shootout in the round of 16 against Saudi Arabia and a super-save in the quarterfinals against Australia to give his team a dramatic victory.

His performance continued in the quarterfinals. Despite being caught off guard by Jordan's quick counter-attack, he made four crucial saves.

In the 25th minute, he made a two-handed save on a 토토사이트 curling right-footed shot from Yazan Al-Naimat.

In the 42nd minute, Musa Altamari's pass found Al-Naimat, who beat three South Korean defenders, including Jung Seung-hyun, in a solo effort from the right side of the penalty arc. It was as good as a goal, but Cho Hyun-woo made the save with his face.

Cho Hyun-woo made a stunning save to deny Jordan's four shots on goal. She gave her team a clean sheet in the first half. But two goals in the second half brought him to his knees.

If not for his saves, it could have been a 0-4, 0-5 disaster instead of a 0-2 loss. He was criticized for his nervousness when he put on the gloves in the second group game against Jordan, but he changed the opinion with his performance.

After boarding a flight to South Korea at dawn on July 7 and touching down on South Korean soil on the evening of July 8, Cho Hyun-woo shared his thoughts on the Asian Cup on social media.

"My heart is heavy because I couldn't bring home the trophy, but I won't stop here and will continue to work hard," he posted. "Thank you for your support," he said.
