We already discussed Stoke fans angry at the news that Bae Jun-ho is going to be kicked out

Stoke City midfielder Bae Joon-ho of the English Football League (EFL) Championship (Second Division) is likely to join the Olympic national team (under 23) in April following March. Hwang Sun-hong, the head coach of the Olympic team, reportedly visited the clubs after the off-season training in Turkiye in February and finished consultations on the dispatch. However, local fans are showing a somewhat "angry" reaction after hearing the news of Bae Joon-ho's departure.

Stoke on Trent Live, which deals with the news of Stoke, reported on the 15th (Korea time) about Bae Jun-ho's transfer to the Paris Olympic qualifying round. The media pointed out Stoke's schedule in the second half and Steven Schumacher's struggles, which briefly covered the news about Bae Jun-ho's transfer at the end of the text.

What they are paying attention to is whether Bae Jun-ho will play in April. Bae joined the national Olympic team during the A-match period in March (18-26) and will play in the U-23 Championship of the West Asian Football Confederation (WAFF) in Saudi Arabia. The upcoming event will be the final test stage for the Asian Football Confederation U-23 Asian Cup in Doha, Qatar, in April. The U-23 Asian Cup is also the competition that qualifies for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The national Olympic team needs to be in the top three at the U-23 Asian Cup to win an Olympic ticket.

The problem is that it is April. This period is not a mandatory period because it is not an A-match period recognized by FIFA. This means that the club may refuse to move out. For this reason, there were many eyes that it would be difficult to move out from overseas within the Olympic team, and Bae Jun-ho is likely to play in April as well as in March. This is because manager Hwang Sun-hong announced on the 11th that he had completed consultations with the club.

From the perspective of the Olympic team, it is welcome to welcome Bae Jun-ho, an "overseas player." Bae Jun-ho is said to have continued to grow his skills, including winning the Player of the Month Award last month.

However, local media gave a different outlook on the news of Bae Jun-ho's departure. The media predicted, "As long as Stoke's situation does not change significantly, we will focus on the team instead of going to Qatar for the Olympic qualifying round." In fact, Stoke ranks 19th in the league (41 points), with a gap of only 3rd with the relegation zone (22nd-24th). If Bae Jun-ho is absent in April, when the ranking battle is in full swing, Stoke will inevitably suffer a big blow.

Regarding the possibility of Bae Jun-ho's transfer in April, a fan claimed, "If we are safe, we can go to the Olympic qualifying round, but if we need him for the last three games, it is natural to help the team."

In a report on Bae Jun-ho's departure posted on the media just two days ago, a fan said, "Stock is paying his wages. Even if you want to play elsewhere, you shouldn't expect Stoke to pay you."
