Korean Media: Winning against China will Advance to Quarter-finals Early
The second round of the U23 Asian Cup is about to begin, and South Korean media outlet fnnews stated that winning against China's national team will advance South Korea U23 to the quarter-finals early, aiming to avoid facing Qatar.
The media outlet mentioned that if South Korea U23 defeats China's national team, they will accumulate 6 points and advance to the quarter-finals of the U23 Asian Cup ahead of schedule. This would allow them to preserve some strength for the final round showdown against Japan. Additionally, South Korea U23 needs to secure as many goal differences as possible to avoid a draw in the last round against Japan's U23, where the tiebreaker would rely on goal difference.
Currently, it's uncertain which team from Group A will top the group, but Qatar's U23 has a good chance of finishing first in the group. If South Korea U23 encounters Qatar's U23, who are expected to play at home, it won't be an easy match. Therefore, it's better for South Korea U23 to strive to avoid facing their opponents in the group stage. Moreover, Qatar's U23's first match saw many controversial decisions, so avoiding Qatar is also a wise choice for South Korea U23.
