“Shocking decisiveness.” Cho Kyu-sung’s dull toes…Even the goal without the goalkeeper, “shoot in the air.”

Cho Kyu-sung started the match against Jordan (ranked 87th in FIFA) in the second Group E match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar, at 8:30 p.m. on the 20th (Korea time).

The strikers aiming at the Jordan goal were the same as those against Bahrain. Cho Kyu-sung, Son Heung-min, Lee Jae-sung and Lee Kang-in were placed on the two-top. Lee Kang-in led the victory by scoring multiple goals in the previous match against Bahrain, and Son Heung-min did what he had to do after winning a penalty kick early in the first half of the day.

Cho did not. Cho was rather quiet even before entering the Asian Cup. He only scored two goals in 10 A-matches in 2023. And he showed a disappointing decisiveness in the match against Bahrain, which was his first match of the finals. In the 30th minute of the first half, a sharp grounder cross came up and Cho faced a no-mark chance. However, the shot missed and soared above the goal. Also, in the 8th minute of the second half, Lee Kang-in put a sharp cross towards the goal and Cho stretched his feet as he flooded in. But this, too, went wide on the side of the net.

In the match against Jordan, there was no significant difference. Cho Kyu-sung failed to take advantage of a decisive opportunity. In the 10th minute of the first half’s extra time, Lee Ki-je’s mid-range shot hit the goalkeeper’s hand. Cho Kyu-sung aimed for the second ball in the open chance, but the ball was bound and floated above the goal.

In the 20th minute of the second half, there was a regrettable scene. Hong Hyun-suk, who received Lee Jae-sung’s pass, went to the gate and gave it to Cho Kyu-sung next to him. Cho Kyu-sung shot with the goalkeeper not in the goal, but the ball soared wide above the goal. Of course, there was a defender standing on the offside, but he had to put it in.

In the end, Cho ended up scoreless and was replaced by Oh at the 24th minute of the second half, leaving the ground. The timing was similar to that of a substitute at the 27th minute of the second half in the match against Bahrain.

Football statistics outlet “Foot Mob” gave Cho 6.3 points and recorded 14 ball touches, two shots, two recoveries, two ground contention successes, and two fouls. However, none of the four attempts were successful. 토토사이트 순위

Cho’s silence is not good in the long run, either. Of course, Cho has advantages over points in various ways, such as linkage, but he has to do so in a scene that can be decided. However, the two Asian Cup finals were largely disappointing.
