Jurgen Klinsmann, the national team coach of the Republic of Korea, took an unusual step.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) said on the 21st, “Coach Klinsman and coaches will hold a press conference at the Soccer Hall at 2:00 pm on the 22nd. The main contents are thoughts on the Korean national team from their respective areas after taking office and 4 A-matches. This is the overall evaluation and future operation direction,” he said, suddenly holding a press conference.온라인카지노
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Klinsman, drew 1-1 with El Salvador in the June national team A-match evaluation match held at Daejeon World Cup Stadium at 8:00 pm on the 20th. With this, Korea finished the June A-match evaluation match with 1 draw and 1 loss.
It is only TEAM Klins who failed to report 4 consecutive victories. Even considering that it was time to check new players, he was disappointed with the performance and perfection of the national team. Klins is the first foreign coach to not win in four games since taking office. It is a poor result to say that he is a coach who promised to win the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.
Fans’ disappointment grew even more as he was compared to coach Paulo Bento. Coach Bento showed the appearance of getting the result every time at home, no matter what opponent he faced. Bento’s only defeat at home during his tenure over four years was a 1-5 defeat to the world’s strongest Brazil. His successor, coach Klinsman, suffered two defeats in four games, let alone a victory.
After the game, coach Klinsman gave a press conference with a unique relaxed atmosphere, and several words and actions came to the fore. He said, “It’s very unfortunate that we couldn’t bring the game results. There are parts where I’m angry because I conceded a goal from a set piece. I had a chance to score more than four goals, but I couldn’t,” he said, as if blaming the players’ performance.
He also said, “You can see that the performance in March was much better (than in June).” As head coach Klinsman said, many changes were inevitable for the national team this time around. Son Heung-min was not in perfect physical shape, and Kim Min-jae, Kim Young-kwon, and Jung Woo-young (Al Sadd) were not even summoned. If the players are newly breathing in the inevitable change, of course, there is no choice but to be sorry for the organizational power. It was June, which couldn’t have been better than March.
Some are even criticizing that coach Klinsman did not show what kind of football he was trying to play during the last four games. Even before he took over, Klinsmann’s tactical abilities were controversial. Except for the time when he suddenly resigned from Hertha Berlin, his on-field hiatus was very long, and there is an anecdote in which he was criticized for his lack of tactical ability even during his days with the national team.
A sudden press conference was held at a time when public opinion toward manager Klinsman began to deteriorate. It is very unusual for a coach to hold a press conference after a match period ends.
The KFA explained that the Klinsman division explained their evaluation of the national team they watched in March and June, but the way they look at coach Klinsman will change depending on how they hold this press conference.
If the nuance of blaming the players comes out again, of course, the eyes can’t get better. There is also a feeling that it will be a place of clarification to explain the unwinnable loop that lasted for 4 games.
I am also interested in what the coaching staff will say. The TEAM Klinsmann division was organized around head coach Andreas Herzog, coach Paolo Stringara, goalkeeper coach Andreas Koepke, and physical coach Werner Leutard (61).
