Coach Park Yoon-jung of the Korean national team, who lost to Nigeria in the first match of the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, vowed not to repeat the same disappointment in the next match.

Coach Park said through the Korea Football Association on the 3rd, "Our team's performance yesterday was not bad, but I am very disappointed that the parts we prepared for and the parts the players did well did not lead to results."

Korea, led by coach Park, lost 0-1 to Nigeria in the first match of Group D of the U-20 Women's World Cup held in Bogota, Colombia the previous day.

Coach Park, who is the youngest Korean coach to ever participate in a FIFA tournament at age 35, tasted defeat in his first World Cup match as coach.

The national team now prepares for the second match against 토토 Venezuela on the 5th and the third match against Germany on the 8th.

In order to advance to the round of 16, which includes the top four countries from each group, as well as the six third-place teams, they must first defeat Venezuela.

Venezuela suffered a crushing defeat to Germany 2-5 in their first match.

Coach Park, who watched the Germany-Venezuela match, said, "If we show what we didn't show in the first match and how we normally play, I think we can get a good result," and emphasized, "The players also have a lot of regrets about yesterday's match, and this can be motivation."

He continued, "I'm grateful for the many people who cheered me on at the stadium yesterday. The cheering gave me a lot of strength, but I'm sorry that I couldn't thank you after the game due to my schedule," adding, "If you give me strength in the next game, I'd like to express my gratitude in a good mood then."
