Will Yang Min-hyuk (19, QPR) enjoy the honor of playing with 'captain' Son Heung-min (33, Tottenham).
The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play Oman on the 20th at Goyang Stadium in the seventh round of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup. South Korea will then play Jordan in the eighth round at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 25th.
Korea, which belongs to Group B, is leading the group with four wins, two draws, and 14 points. Iraq ranks second with 11 points, and Jordan is third with nine points. If Korea wins two consecutive games, it will confirm its advance to the finals of the World Cup finals in North Korea, China and the U.S. early on.
Yang Min-hyuk, who was loaned to QPR after joining Tottenham in January, joined the national team. Yang Min-hyuk joined the national team in September with 12 goals and 6 assists in Gangwon last year, but did not get a chance to play.
Yang Min-hyuk recently started three consecutive games at QPR, solidifying his position with all his might. QPR fans are even buying Yang Min-hyuk's Hangeul uniform, which is gaining huge popularity.
Coach Hong Myung-bo included Yang Min-hyuk in the list of the national soccer team announced on the 10th. Coach Hong said, "I was watching Yang Min-hyuk play in the QPR. I don't know if he is playing the role he wants perfectly in the team, but the momentary movement was not bad."
Coach Hong then explained, "I selected Yang Min-hyuk, who may become a main player in (Korean soccer) in the future, because I thought it would be good if he could come into the national team and increase his value and know the direction of the national team."
"GoalCom" selected and announced 50 promising teenage soccer players in the world to lead the next generation. Among Korean players, Yang Min-hyuk is included, drawing keen attention from the public.
Yang ranked 43rd overall. The media outlet said, "Yang is a promising player who will lead Korean soccer after Son Heung-min. Korean national team player Yang joined Tottenham Hotspur in Gangwon Province in January. Since then, he has been playing on loan at QPR.
Yang Min-hyuk is the third Korean player to be included in the top 50 prospects, following Lee Seung-woo in 2016 and Lee Kang-in in 2019 and 2020. Both Lee Seung-woo and Lee Kang-in have been recognized for their potential in the European stage and have been selected for the national team. Yang Min-hyuk is now following his seniors.
Since joining Tottenham, Yang has not played a single game. Coach Angie Postecoglou said, "Yang Min-hyuk is from the other side of the world. We need time to adapt to the British stage," and sent him on loan from QPR.
In the end, Yang postponed his dream to play with Son. Instead, he could achieve his dream in the national team. 토토사이트
Currently, Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Hwang Hee-chan are available as second-tier players for the Korean national team. However, none of the three players have 100 percent form in their teams. Even if the three players play as starters, other players can be deployed if they are in poor condition. Young-gun Yang Hyun-joon, Um Ji-sung, Yang Min-hyuk, and Bae Jun-ho, who succeeded in advancing to the European leagues, are always looking for opportunities to play.
Will Yang be able to achieve his A-match debut dream? Will he be able to work with Son? All the answers are from Goyang.
