Lee Min-sung, head coach of South Korea's men's football team for the Asian Games, spoke in an interview about the team's objective for this tournament. He explained that the team's goal is to win the gold medal and achieve a "four-peat" in men's football at the Asian Games.

South Korea previously won consecutive gold medals in men's football at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon, the 2018 Asian Games in Jakarta, and the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou. If they win again at this tournament, South Korea will achieve a "four-peat" in men's football at the Asian Games.

Lee Min-sung stated: "Our goal for these Asian Games is to win gold. Since the start of our training camp before the tournament, our preparations have gone smoothly, and we are ready. Over the past year and a half, public and fan doubts have persisted, but I believe these Asian Games will be an excellent opportunity for us to gain experience. We will do our best to win the gold medal and help South Korean football make a comeback."

Regarding the team's preparations, Lee Min-sung also discussed the challenges the South Korean national team faced regarding team chemistry. He explained that due to the unique nature of the event, it is difficult to develop sufficient chemistry in a short time, so the South Korean team plans to use the group stage to further optimize the lineup.

Lee Min-sung said: "Due to the unique nature of the tournament, it is indeed a challenge for the team to build chemistry in a short period. We plan to continue optimizing the team during the group stage and deploy European-based players in attack. Once the team's defense and midfield gradually stabilize, the coordination in attack will naturally follow."

Lee Min-sung stated earlier this month during the South Korean men's football team's training camp for the Asian Games: "We have always worked toward the Asian Games to get where we are today. Although the process has not been smooth, I believe these experiences will ultimately provide valuable lessons for us."

He continued: "We have diligently prepared for areas where we previously underperformed and aspects that require further improvement. We will strive to win the gold medal at this tournament."

Lee Min-sung also emphasized: "This has always been a tournament where one should aim for a gold medal. Throughout our entire preparation process, that has been our only focus."

"From now on, we will continue to pursue the gold medal in our remaining matches, unite our thoughts with the players, and work to achieve this goal."

South Korea's men's football team will face Qatar and Saudi Arabia in the group stage of this tournament. Given the setbacks South Korean football faced this year at two major tournaments, a major test will be whether Lee Min-sung can lead the team to a comeback at the Asian Games.
