A third Spanish coach will strenghen the squad very soon. He will be the chief analyzer/scout (Idk the exact funtion, but in Korean it's called 전력분석관). Kim Pan Gon and Shin Tae Yong seem to have wanted this both. Apparently, Fernando Hierro has suggested him. He'll join the training camp and if the staff is content with him, he'll get a contract.
Performance Analyst. - Toni Grande also found a candidate although he suggested to Shin Tae-yong that Fernando Hierro was the better option. - Fernando Hierro will be meeting up with the team in Antalya (He's already in Turkey.), and as of the moment he will only be working throughout the winter training camp. - His job isn't official as Shin Tae-yong and the coaching staff will determine whether he'll continue to be working with the team or not, and if they like him then he will officially be given a contract that will run till the 2018 FIFA World Cup.
Pretty much predicted majority of the players, was hoping for Han Chan-hee, but the least I am glad to see both Lee Seung-gi and Son Jun-ho get called up.
I'm most certain that both Lee Seung-gi and Son Jun-ho will impress during the winter training camp, hopefully enough to force Jung Woo-young to get dropped.
Wish he tested out new J-league players but I guess it's not something KNT managers seem to do. I guess I should stop hoping for it, I doubt I'll be happy about the selections for the upcoming WC so I'm just going to accept whatever STY is going to pick. However: Why is he keep picking Jang Hyunsoo and Jung Wooyoung while not trying out other j-leaguers? Why's he picking Jung Seonghyun when he hasn't impressed for KNT and there's another Korean player that's doing better in the exact same club as he is? I swear they don't scout at all. Also, I swear some of these guys are players he managed while he was in Seongnam, who are these guys??? Nepotism. Also I'm just going to accept that Kim Shinwook will be going to the WC
Prediction for WC 2018 Final Squad: GK Kim Seung Gyu Kim Jin Hyeon Cho Hyun Woo DF Jang Hyun Soo Kim Young Gwon Yoon Young Sun Jeong Seung Hyun Choi Chul Soon Go Yo Han Kim Jin Su MF Ki Sung Yueng Lee Seung Gi Jung Woo Young Lee Chang Min Kwon Chang Hoon Lee Jae Sung Yeom Ki Hoon FW Kim Shin Wook Lee Keun Ho Jin Sung Wook Suk Hyun Jun Hwang Hee Chan Son Heung Min
He said that he hasn't called them up because they haven't played in over a year but that there's still 4 months til WC callups and that it doesn't mean K Leaguers not called up this time can't make it to the WC. So it really depends on how they play with Jeonbuk/Ulsan up til the WC Callups I guess
if our df roster doesn't change I'm honestly not going to allow myself to be optimistic this summer seriously, it doesn't matter how good we are going forward if our centrebacks are fkin inept, and we are incapable of scoring <2 goals on the world stage so
Hopefully, we can get rid of KYK, JHS, JWY, and the other dead weights after the World Cup. Winning the EAFF tournament does not mean they get a free pass for being shite the past 2-5 years with the NT.
. It must be Hogon's hidden power. They're all former Yonsei students, just like Kim Bong Gil, Ahn ik Soo, etc

The twitter replies to Northern Ireland's tweet is pretty funny. One guy thinks they can capitalize on this with South Korea promoting sh*tty Irish Premier League matches
