Asian Cup, Taegeuk Warriors Squeeze Out Victory in 240 Minutes… Klinsmann ‘Go! Leadership'
The offense is reckless and the defense is sloppy.
The gap between offense and defense continues to widen.
No matter how you look at it, his performance deserves a failing grade, but Klinsmann overcame all the difficulties and succeeded in reaching the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup. 카지노사이트원
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, advanced to the semifinals with a 2-1 come-from-behind win over Australia after a close overtime match in the quarterfinals of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup held at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar on the 3rd (Korean time).
Field goals are rarely scored and only 8 goals were scored in 5 games.
‘Are we a team that will challenge for the championship?’
Looking at the five games Korea has played so far, it seems very difficult to evaluate the level of perfection of ‘Klinsmann-style soccer’ as being high.
Klinsmann conceded all goals in five games and contributed a total of eight goals.
He gave up as many as three goals to Malaysia, one of the weakest teams in the competition.
This is despite Kim Min-jae (Munich), who is recognized by everyone as the world's best central defender, playing full time in almost every game.
It is questionable whether traffic control has been properly managed between Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Klinsmann's attack appears to be unresolved even after game after game.
Excluding the first group match against Bahrain (3-1 win), which was the only match to be decided within 90 minutes, Korea scored 8 goals in 4 games, including 3 from penalty kicks, 2 from free kicks, One goal is the opponent's own goal.
Only two goals were field goals, of which Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart)'s first goal in the third game against Malaysia was a header from Lee Kang-in's corner kick in a set piece situation.
The only goal scored while passing the ball between players was the header equalizer scored by Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) in the round of 16 against Saudi Arabia.
Klinsmann has been having a hard time effectively targeting his opponent's dangerous areas since the second game.
It appears that this problem is not being resolved at all.
The Taegeuk Warriors, who are ahead of their opponents in individual skills in each game, are using their ‘dragon' for 90 minutes, sometimes 120 minutes, to force a point or win, and the pattern is recurring.
This is why Coach Klinsmann's soccer was given the sarcastical nickname ‘Do it for me soccer.'
Still, the indomitable Taegeuk warrior moves forward… Klinsmann's motivational ability shines.
However, the ‘undaunted spirit' that Klinsmann's Taegeuk Warriors show in every game cannot be explained by the framework of ‘Do it for soccer'.
Starting with the second match against Jordan in the group stage, Korea has scored in extra time in the second half of four consecutive games, playing tenacious soccer that is reminiscent of ‘zombies'.
Excluding the extra time goal scored in the 3rd match against Malaysia in the group stage, 3 goals are equalizers.
And in the tournament, they scored dramatic equalizers in the round of 16 and quarterfinals, sending the team into overtime.
And then Geari advanced to the next level.
In particular, the round of 16 match against Australia, who had two more days off, was a match played with physical inferiority.
As time went by, Korea was at a disadvantage, so there were many predictions that it would be difficult for Klinsmann to win if he didn't show up early.
However, the actual performance of the game was quite the opposite.
Despite conceding the first goal, the Taegeuk Warriors did not relax their legs and instead pushed their opponents even harder.
Coach Klinsmann was originally evaluated as being closer to a ‘motivational leader’ than a ‘tactician.’
Encouraging players who played 120 minutes in two consecutive games, a total of 240 minutes, to squeeze everything out until the end is not something anyone can do.
Coach Klinsmann's ‘motivational ability' is added to the national team's strength of having an edge in individual skills over most Asian teams, and it appears that great matches are being produced every day.
Even before the competition, Coach Klinsmann has constantly emphasized the goal of ‘winning the Asian Cup’ both inside and outside the national team.
An official from the national team said, “I don’t think previous coaches mentioned the goal of winning that often because it could be a burden on the players, but Coach Klinsmann is the exact opposite.”
Another official said, “Coach Klinsmann is a former star player, so he seems to be sure to motivate the players.”
Coach Klinsmann has constantly revealed to fans through the media his determination to achieve his goal of winning.
A representative example is the joking exhortation, “Reserve your accommodation until the finals.”
At this point, ‘Gaza leadership’… Coach Klinsmann's careful initiative, such as preparing for the three-back, shows his leadership in strongly encouraging members to achieve clearly set goals even if it may be a bit difficult or difficult.
At this point, it doesn't seem strange to call Coach Klinsmann's leadership ‘Gaza leadership'.
However, Coach Klinsmann is not the only one making loud noises.
He also appears to be a suspect.
He is making sure to take care of the major elements that are important for winning.
When everyone pointed out that the national team lacked defensive resources on the side, Coach Klinsmann locked the training ground and had three-back training to compensate for this.
He has also been training for penalty shootouts since the group stage.
This became the driving force behind the penalty shootout victory against Saudi Arabia.
When Coach Klinsmann took office in the national team, he loudly declared, “If I score three goals, I will play soccer that scores four goals.”
He has never scored like this before.
However, it seems clear that Klinsmann is playing ‘exciting soccer', as in the game where he conceded 3 goals and scored 4 goals. 파워볼사이트
Klinsmann will attempt to advance to the finals in a return match against Jordan, whom he faced once in the group stage, at Ahmad bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan at midnight on the 7th.
Coach Klinsmann said at a press conference after the Australia game, “I dream of lifting the Asian Cup trophy that Korean soccer fans are waiting for and taking it to Korea.
I hope to be in Doha until the last day, and I will prepare well to make that happen.”
He added, “The next game is “I want to finish it in 90 minutes, not 120,” he emphasized.
