Son Heung-min ‘youngest scorer’, Cha Du-ri ‘oldest player’

Klinsmann's 'Captain' Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who is attempting to win the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years, is attempting to become the Korean player to play in the most Asian Cup games.

According to the Korea Football Association on the 9th, if Son Heung-min plays from the group stage to the quarterfinals in the Asian Cup, which opens in Qatar on the 13th, he will surpass former Korea Football Association Vice President Lee Young-pyo (16 games) and become the number one player in the most games.

Son Heung-min, who is participating in the Asian Cup for the fourth time from the 2011 tournament to this tournament, is also the player with the most names in the Asian Cup entries, along with retired goalkeeper Kim Yong-dae. 온라인카지노사이트

The oldest Korean player to participate in the Asian Cup is Cha Du-ri, the current national team coach. He was 34 years and 190 days old when he played against Australia in the final of the 2015 tournament.

Cha Du-ri also holds the record for the oldest assist in the Asian Cup by assisting Son Heung-min's goal in the quarterfinal match against Uzbekistan in the same tournament.

In the Klinsmann Lake, Kim Tae-hwan (Ulsan), born in 1989, challenges Cha Du-ri's record. When Kim Tae-hwan takes the field after the quarterfinals of this Asian Cup, he will surpass Cha Du-ri.

The youngest player to participate is Kim Bong-soo, the current Indonesian national team goalkeeper coach (18 years and 7 days old), who played against Iran in the 1988 Asian Cup. Second place is Son Heung-min (18 years, 186 days), who won against Bahrain in the 2011 tournament.

Son Heung-min is the youngest Korean player to score in the Asian Cup. In January 2011, when he was 18 years and 194 days old, he scored on his international debut against India in the Qatar Asian Cup. He played for Hamburg, a German professional soccer team at the time, before graduating from high school if he attended school in the country.

The second youngest scorer was Choi Soon-ho (18 years, 249 days) in the 1980 Asian Cup match against Malaysia, and third place was Cha Bum-geun (18 years, 353 days) in the 1972 Asia Cup match against Thailand.

The oldest scorer is Choi Jeong-min (33 years, 99 days) in the Vietnam game at the 2nd tournament held at Hyochang Stadium in Seoul in 1960.

Lee Dong-gook is the Korean player with the most goals in the Asian Cup. He scored a total of 10 goals in the 2000 tournament (6 goals) and the 2004 tournament (4 goals). It ranks second all-time after Iran's Ali Daei (14 goals).

Choi Soon-ho, who scored 7 goals in the 1980 tournament alone, is next to Lee Dong-guk.

Among Korean players participating in this Asian Cup, Son Heung-min has the most goals with four goals.

Only two players have experienced a hat trick: Choi Soon-ho (1980, against UAE) and Lee Dong-guk (2000, against Indonesia). The highest number of individual consecutive points scored in four games was recorded by Lee Dong-gook, Choi Soon-ho, Park I-cheon, and Woo Sang-kwon respectively.

The fastest score was Kim Doo-hyun's goal in the 4th minute of the first half against Bahrain in the 2007 tournament. The latest goal was a 2-2 equalizer scored by Hwang Jae-won in the 15th minute of extra time against Japan in the semifinals of the 2011 tournament. This goal is also the latest goal scored in all of Korea's A matches.

Starting with the first competition in 1956, the Asian Cup has been held a total of 17 times. Korea participated 14 times, tying for first place along with Iran.

His overall record is 36 wins, 16 draws, and 15 losses (124 points) in 67 matches. Scored 106 goals and conceded 64 goals. The number of games, points, wins, goals scored, and goal difference are all ranked second after Iran (68 games, 142 points, 41 wins, 131 goals scored, 48 goals conceded).

They have won twice and are in fourth place after Japan (four times), Iran and Saudi Arabia (three times). Finished second place the most, 4 times.

The highest goal victory of all time was in 1960, when the team beat Vietnam 5-1. On the other hand, in the 1996 tournament, they lost to Iran by the most goals, 2-6.

The opponent that Korean soccer faces most often in the Asian Cup is Kuwait. They were tied eight times, including the final in 1980.

The Asian Cup's 'worst performance' is Iran. From 1996 to 2011, they faced each other in the quarterfinals five consecutive times.

The Asian Cup was also the ‘graveyard’ of the Korean national team’s head coach. Coaches Park Jong-hwan in 1996, Huh Jung-moo in 2000, and Pim Verbeek in 2007 resigned due to poor performance in the Asian Cup.

The crowd for the 2015 final match against Australia in Sydney was 76,385, which is Korea's largest Asian Cup attendance record ever. There is a record that more than 80,000 people attended the game against the home team Indonesia in the 2007 tournament, but it was not recognized as an accurate attendance count. 카지노사이트존
