When will coach Jurgen Klinsmann’s first win?
The Korean national soccer team, led by Coach Klinsmann, will play a friendly match against Saudi Arabia at St. James Park in Newcastle, England, at 1:30 a.m. (Korean time) on the 13th.
Saudi Arabia recently had a change of command. Coach Roberto Mancini, who was recognized for his leadership skills including leading the Italian national team, took the helm. They are feeling pressured because they lost 1-3 in their debut match against Costa Rica and were unable to achieve a victory, and they are hoping to score a victory against Korea.
Korea is also in a hurry. Since the launch of the Klinsmann system, there has been no win yet with 3 draws and 2 losses in 5 games.
Since taking office, Coach Klinsmann has failed to secure a win in five games with 3 draws and 2 losses, setting a meaningful record of being the longest winless game among foreign coaches in Korea.
It is receiving criticism and criticism that it lacks content along with the results. He continues to be criticized for not being able to find a clear philosophy and color.
Coach Klinsmann also came under fire for frequent outings and working from home during his time with the German and U.S. national teams, and the same situation is repeating itself.스포츠토토
Director Klinsmann’s promise to “remain permanently in Korea” has not been properly kept. Except for March and June when he had his international matches, he spent most of his time in the United States where his family was.
His frequent outings also did not avoid criticism. Coach Klinsmann’s main job was focused on something else rather than the Korean national team.
He cannot avoid criticism that he is showing an irresponsible attitude as the head coach of the Korean national team, such as focusing on interviews with overseas media about Harry Kane and Lionel Messi’s advancement to the U.S. stage and participating in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) draw ceremony. It’s in progress.
In addition, they are failing to show sincerity by replacing press conferences for national team player selection with press releases.
British media ‘Sports Mall’ said, “Both Korea and Saudi Arabia were not in the best condition during this international match. “It will not be surprising if the stalemate ends,” he said, predicting that the outcome will not be easy.
He added, “This is even more so considering that Korea lacked technology against Wales.”
It was predicted that Coach Klinsmann would make changes.
‘Sports Mall’ predicted, “Considering that Coach Klinsmann did not show an impressive performance in the game against Wales, he may replace Cho Kyu-sung with Hwang Hee-chan and change the attacking method to a 4-4-2 system.”
He added, “Captain Son Heung-min, who recently scored a hat-trick against Burnley, is likely to become Hwang Hee-chan’s attack partner.”
