The first place in the group will play Japan, and the second place in the group will most likely play Saudi Arabia. How should the Korean team choose?
For quite some time in the first half, the Korean team's disorganized performance may have convinced the world that "they don't want to win against Jordan, and they don't want to touch Japan." But in the second half, the South Korean team's crazy counterattack, continuous onslaught, and even after equalizing the score at the last moment, still strengthening the offensive performance has responded to the world - they don't want to lose this game, they did not deliberately avoid the Japanese team!
The Korean team made a crazy counterattack but could not win against Jordan. This not only shows that the Jordanian team has made great progress, but also reflects that the current Korean team has really big problems.
won a penalty kick less than 10 minutes into the game, and Son Heung-min broke the deadlock. The South Korean team's start could not have been more perfect. But from Son Heung-min's penalty kick to the end of the first half, the game became a performance by the Jordan team, who were playing against South Korea. "Beauty blogger" Cho Hyun-woo, who returned to the main lineup, became the South Korean team's best player in the first half. He had already made two wonderful saves in front of the goal before conceding the ball.
But he can prevent the opponent's shot, but he can't prevent the "ghost"! In the set-piece defense, Park Yong-woo was not close to the opponent and could not leak the ball to the opponent behind him. He made a "violent header" into his own goal.
Before halftime, the Jordanian team counterattacked 2 on 6. After the first shot was blocked by the Korean defender, the player from the outside caught up with the follow-up shot. He missed part of the shot but accidentally hit a rebound ball, allowing Zhao Xian to Yuya was helpless.
was beaten by Jordan in the first half. It was a bit difficult to resist, and finally lost two games. This can reflect that the Korean team's control and defense still have a lot of room for improvement. But the bigger problem exposed by the South Korean team in this game is actually their offensive line.
's poor offensive performance is related to the poor condition of some players and poor footwork. Cao Guicheng's goalkeeping looks worse than Wu Lei. But if only a few players are in poor condition, it can be solved by substitution. But the biggest problem with the Korean team's offense is that they have the advantage of personal ability, but they play disorganized on the court.
In the last game against Bahrain, after 1-1, the Korean team relied on Li Gangren's personal ability to solve the problem. In the second half of this game, the Korean team's positional offense still focused on individual abilities. There is no doubt that Son Heung-min and Lee Gang-in's one-on-one abilities are top-notch in Asia. However, Jordan is fully prepared for the South Korean team's one-on-one style of play. However, Son Heung-min is not in an ideal state and cannot support Klinsmann's style of betting on the personal abilities of stars. The core players of the South Korean team can pass one, but not two or three; it is difficult for them to break through Jordan's overall defense through individual advantage.
took over for a year. The two games in the Asian Cup were all about the personal abilities of the stars and did not show the overall technical and tactical level at all. Klinsmann's work was obviously a failure!
This Korean team has the strongest striker in the history of Asian football and the strongest central defender in the history of Asian football. Judging from the cards, this should be the strongest Korean team in history, and they are indeed the favorites to win this Asian Cup.
However, in recent years, the technical and tactical styles of international football have been updated too fast; Guardiola, who leads the technical and tactical trends, can still stand at the top, and Klopp, who can keep up with the technical and tactical trends, has become Guardiola. The strongest rival in years. But there are also some famous coaches who have gradually moved away from wealthy teams and even the top stage because their ideas cannot keep up with the trend. In more than six years, before he was dismissed from the US team in November 2016 and took over the South Korean team in February 2023, Klinsmann only briefly returned to coach Hertha Berlin for less than three months; it can be said that in Before taking over the Korean team, Klinsmann had already left the European coaching circle for many years.
Due to a long-term lack of coaching experience on the mainstream stage and failure to update his technical and tactical concepts in a timely manner, Klinsmann’s current technical and tactical style of play leading the Korean team is completely outdated; the Korean team has shown in his hands The technical and tactical level is not like a team ranked 23rd in the world.
When the Korean team under Klinsmann turned into a team with fighting spirit but no overall structure, and its technical and tactical play was like a piece of scattered sand, the head coach was the biggest obstacle for the Korean team to win the Asian Cup again!
