They brought in coach Jurgen Klinsmann (59), one of the world’s greatest managers. Suspicious glances were eroded by his clear speech. But it’s not really getting any results. Since his appointment, he has won 2 draws and 2 losses in 4 matches.온라인바카라
Public opinion was boiling. It wasn’t just a matter of results. This is because the style of Klinsmanhoman is difficult to find, while the color of our own play while maintaining our share while facing the powerhouses with ‘build-up soccer’ in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar has completely disappeared.
Director Klinsman stepped in. The Korea Football Association said, “A press conference will be held on the 22nd at 2:00 pm in the conference room on the 2nd floor of the Soccer Hall, attended by coach Klinsman and coaches.” The overall evaluation of the 4 games and the future direction of the national team.”
This is very unusual. It is not common to announce a position after only 4 games as the opportunity is guaranteed until the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America.
This is a testament to the fact that it is responding sensitively to public opinion. Coach Klinsman, who previously announced that he would actively communicate with the team, but the general consensus is that this press conference is meant to explain the sluggishness of the last four games.

The national team failed to win 2-2 against Colombia and 1-2 against Uruguay in March after Klinsman took over as coach. Criticism was not great because there was no opportunity to properly match hands and feet and it was not enough time to properly color director Klinsman. Even the opponent was a team that was ahead of Korea (27th) in terms of objective power by ranking 17th and 16th in the FIFA rankings.
But this time it was different. Following a 0-1 loss against Peru, they drew 1-1 against El Salvador. Japan, which had a cross evaluation match with Korea, won its first match, El Salvador (ranked 72nd), 6-0, and won against Peru (ranked 21st), 4-1.
It was a two-game series where Korea’s rival, Japan, could indirectly compare their strength. It was a game where players who were not in good condition were used and tactically, it was a game that was disappointing.
According to Japanese media such as Football Zone, Juan Reinoso (54), the coach of the Peru national team, who experienced Korea and Japan in turn, said, “Korea focuses on more vertical play. “On the other hand, I think Japan is a team that finds space by changing positions frequently based on high ball possession,” he said.
Both countries were evaluated as excellent, but South Korea’s tactics and power were relatively easy to respond to compared to Japan’s. The results are also shown well.
This doesn’t match director Klinsman’s words either. After the match against El Salvador, head coach Klinsman mentioned the poor physical condition of Cho Kyu-sung and Hwang Eui-jo. Nevertheless, coach Klinsman played a straight game. He admitted that he played soccer that was not suitable for the situation of the team, even though there were players in good condition such as Lee Kang-in and Hwang In-beom in the midfield and excellent ball guards and distribution. In the end, all the focus is on the mouth of coach Klinsman on the 22nd.
Of course, it is too early to evaluate coach Klinsman with just four games. However, it seems that it will be an important place in that it can cause a difference in the approval rating for Klinsmann in the future, whether it can convince soccer fans about the 4-game pitfall.
