Jo Kyu-sung Cho, Junya Ito (Japan), Harry Souttar (Australia), Harib Abdallah (United Arab Emirates) and Arif Ayman (Malaysia) have been named Asian Cup Players to Watch, according to the announcement.
On Cho Kyu-sung, FIFA said, “As much as Son Heung-min’s performance, South Korea’s performance will depend on how dedicated and destructive Cho Kyu-sung is up front.”
“South Korea coach Jürgen Klinsmann prefers a number nine who adds a presence up front,” FIFA added. Only if Cho Kyu-sung fulfills this need will South Korea be able to get closer to winning the Asian Cup.”
Cho, who plays for Mittwalland in the Danish professional soccer league, is third in the league with eight goals. He scored a multi-goal performance in the team’s 5-1 win at home in the 17th round of the Danish league on May 5.
For the national team, he scored a goal and an assist in a 5-0 win over Singapore in the first match of Group C of the North and Central American World Cup Asia Second Qualifying Round on March 15.
The Asian Cup will be held in Qatar on Jan. 12 next year. South Korea will attempt to return to the tournament for the first time in 64 years since 1960.
