In the
Under-20 World Cup, Kim Eun Joong-ho will play the quarter-finals against Italy tomorrow (9th) morning. The players were determined to play as one team, even Park Seung-ho, who was missing due to injury.

This is Kim Hyung-yeol.

<Reporter> Lee Young-joon, who scored the winning goal in the first leg of the group stage against
France and captured the world's attention with his sober salute like an active soldier,
is literally burning his fighting spirit in this tournament.

He started all five games as a one-time striker and played four of those games full-time, most notably playing 4 minutes in the quarter-finals against Nigeria in extra time.

This is because Park Seung-ho, who was in the same striker position, scored a goal against Honduras in the group stage and then returned home early due to a fractured ankle, leaving only one front-line resource, Lee Young-joon, who is giving everything on the ground to Park Seung-ho's share.

In the round of 1 against Ecuador, he scored a fantastic first goal, and in every game, he was at the forefront until the end, even though he was knocked down by the opponent's concentration and his legs cramped due to lack of fitness.

[Lee Young-joon/U-5 World Cup forward: I think we can come this far as a team because of our belief, and I think we have more belief that we can go higher.]

As the Taeguk Warriors, who have 4 players instead of 8 including Park Seung-ho, prepare for their showdown against Italy, there will be street cheering in Seoul's Gwanghwamun Square as they did during last year's World Cup in Qatar.
