"There are so many complications."
Coach Hong Myung-bo responded to the possibility of Jens Kastrov (22, Nuremberg) being selected for the national team, which has been steadily raised.
Castrov, who plays as a mainstay in Nuremberg, is a born multiple nationality to a German father and a Korean mother. As he possesses both German and Korean citizenship, he can select a member of the national team. He is drawing keen attention as he is classified as one of the top midfield resources in the German Bundesliga. Having received attention from Sevilla in the Spanish Primera Liga last winter, he will completely move to Borussia Mönchengladbach after the end of this season.
During his business trip to Europe in January, the coaches of the national team met with his mother and confirmed his willingness to join the team in the future selection process. At that time, Castrov reportedly expressed his willingness to wear the national flag.
Amid this development, the German Football Association is paying attention to Kastrov. It has included Kastrov in the recently announced U-21 national team list. It is not difficult to select a rookie player for the youth national team, and there is no guarantee that he will be promoted to the senior national team. Above all, even if he is selected for the youth national team under FIFA regulations, the senior national team can choose a different nationality. Regardless of his selection, there is still room for Kastrov to wear the national flag in the future. However, the fact that both Korea and Germany are paying attention to Kastrov's talent cannot be optimistic about his performance in the Taegeuk Warriors.
The 1m78 castrope is a multi-resource that allows not only midfielders but also side fullbacks. The amount of activity required for high-quality midfielders-the field of view is good, and he has been so active that even the expression "tough" came out in terms of joining the defense. As he has been recognized for his talent beyond the Bundesliga to be included in the German Under-21 list, it will certainly help the national team increase its power depending on how he uses it.
Despite this, Hong Myung-bo is contemplating his selection because there are so many mountains to overcome.
The biggest barrier is language. Born and raised in Germany, Kastrov's Korean proficiency has yet to be revealed. Growing up with a Korean-speaking mother, Kastrov is unlikely to have any problems understanding the language. However, given the characteristics of the Korean team that gather for a short period of time to train and have actual matches, the language barrier could become more serious than expected. If there is a problem communicating both inside and outside the ground, it can never be a good part of the team's camistry. "We (national team) have to train a day or two and go to the World Cup qualifying round. I don't think it is right for the players or the team to go in a different direction as a whole," Hong said.
There is also a practical problem of military service.
Castrov, who is born with multiple nationalities, is under military duty over the age of 18. If you live outside the country with a father or mother who has permanent residency or citizenship, you are subject to an exception clause that delays military service until the age of 37. If you, your father, or mother stay in Korea for at least six months out of a year, or if you are engaged in profit-making activities in Korea, you must fulfill military service. It is necessary to consider what situation Castrov will be in in in the military service regulations when he is selected according to the schedule of the national team, which is usually convened for more than one week to 10 days before or after the A-match, and two weeks to a maximum of one month during the competition. The interpretation of whether the selection of the national team will be a "profit activity" is also considered as an issue that will follow. 온라인바카라
Hong Myung-bo's eyes are on early confirmation of his advance to the 2026 North-China World Cup finals. If this goal is achieved in the two consecutive games in March, it will give more than a year until next year's finals. It is time for preparations and discussions in various areas, including the operation and convocation of the national team. Whether Kastrov will be selected for the national team in the future is also expected to reveal details through this time.
