The national soccer team, which won the match against Jordan, will return home and begin to prepare for the home game against Iraq.

The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, returned home through Incheon International Airport this afternoon (11th) after an away game against Jordan.

Coach Hong said the national team's atmosphere is very good, and he expressed his feelings that Son Heung-min was absent and mentally difficult, but the players overcame it well.

Earlier, the national team won 2-0 in the third round of the North Korea-China World Cup qualifying round against Jordan with consecutive points by Lee Jae-sung and Oh Hyun-kyu.

The national team will play the fourth match of the third qualifying round against Iraq at 8 p.m. on the 15th in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.

Next, let's hear from director Hong Myung-bo.

[Hong Myung-bo / Head coach of the national soccer team: The second game was better than the first game, and the Jordan game was much better than the second game. Overall. We need to prepare well for the rest of the year and prepare well for the remaining Iraq games without thinking about winning the match against Jordan.]
