'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.

  South Korean taekwondo sensation Seo Gun-woo, 20, failed to advance to the final and is headed to the bronze medal match. World No. 4 Seo lost his quarterfinal match against world No. 9 Mehran Barghourdari of Iran, 1-2 (4-2, 9-13, 8-12), in the men's 80-kilogram taekwondo event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games at the Grand Palais in Paris, France, on Monday afternoon (Feb. 9), dropping him to the bronze medal match instead of the final. Starting in Paris, the sport of taekwondo will have a new rule. Until the last Games in Tokyo, taekwondo consisted of three two-minute rounds, followed by a fourth round of overtime if a winner could not be determined, with the winner being the first to score two points. Points were accumulated in the third round until the overtime period, but this rule changed at the Paris Games. The rules for the three two-minute rounds are the same, but the points from each round are not cumulative. At the end of each round, the next round will be played to a 0-...
