Jordanian ace Moussa Altamari (Stadren) is targeting the rear of Hong Myung-bo without Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), the "nuclear of defense" of the Korean national soccer team.
Altamari scored one goal and one assist to lead Jordan to a 3-1 victory over Palestine in Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup at Amman International Stadium in Jordan on the 21st.
Altamari, who helped FC Seoul's center back Yazan Al-Rab (registered Yazan) score the first goal with an accurate left-footed corner kick cross three minutes into the match, also shook the net directly in the first half extra time.
Altamari's specialty was clearly revealed in the scoring scene. Altamari, who competed with Palestinian center back Mohammed Saleh for a long pass from the back, caught up with the opponent and stole the ball near the corner of the penalty box even though he started from a disadvantageous position. After rushing to the goal, Altamari immediately hit the bottom corner of the net with his left footed shot.
Altamari, who has intense forward pressure, strong physical struggle, high speed, and sharp left-footed finishing ability, is a representative player of Jordanian soccer. He is the only player in the Jordanian national team who plays in major European leagues, and although he is weak in defense, he is considered one of the best in Asia for his offensive ability.
Kim Min-jae is also a natural enemy of Altamari. Kim Min-jae is a defender who boasts one of the world's best speed and arsenals, and can beat Altamari with a head-to-head race even if he tries to compete with speed.
Altamari struggled against Kim Min-jae, who has a large physique and is second to none, in the group stage match of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup last year under former coach Jurgen Klinsmann.
However, Kim Min-jae is absent from the Korean national team due to an Achilles tendon injury. There is a possibility that the Korean defense team will struggle against Altamari, who aggressively moves forward and constantly targets the back space of defense. Even if the team succeeds in defense multiple times, a single mistake can lead to fatal loss of defense.
It was the Asian Cup semifinals where the South Korean defense without Kim Min-jae collapsed to Altamari. South Korea, where Kim Min-jae was absent due to accumulated warnings, was completely defeated 0-2 after struggling with Jordan's forward pressure.
At the time, Altamari cut off South Korea's complacent back pass to help Yazan Al-Naimat score the first goal, and 13 minutes later, he scored directly in a counterattack to seal South Korea's defeat.
Altamari is also expected to have a desire to win in the away game of South Korea in the eighth game of the third qualifying round at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 25th. Hong Myung-bo won 2-0 away to Jordan in October last year, but Altamari was absent due to injury and did not get a chance for revenge at the time. 스포츠토토
Jordan has recently restarted the triangular formation leading to Altamari-Alnaimat-Mahmud Almardi, which puts Hong Myung-bo on the task of building defensive tactics and strengthening his defensive organization to effectively deal with these quasi-strikes.
