Observing the K League at home and announcing the list at home. I don't think it would be surprising if the next step was to conduct the game at home.
The Korea Football Association (KFA) announced on the 28th a list of 25 men's A team members to play in September's away friendly matches in Europe (Wales on the 8th and Saudi Arabia on the 13th).
Most of the main members, including Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan Hyundai), Lee Jae-sung (Mainz), Hwang In-beom (Olympiacos), Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), and Cho Kyu-sung (Mitwillan), were selected.
Injured Lee Kang-in was excluded from the list. Initially, coach Klinsmann strongly wanted Lee Kang-in to join, but this A match will be played without Lee Kang-in due to the news of his left thigh quadriceps injury last week.
Following Lee Kang-in, the names of Kim Jin-soo (Jeonbuk Hyundai) and Song Bum-keun (Shonan Belmare), who collapsed due to injuries, were also omitted.
Lee Dong-kyung (Ulsan Hyundai) and Kang Sang-woo (Beijing Guoan) returned to the national team for the first time in a year and eight months since the Middle East nuclear power plant in the final Asian qualifying round for the Qatar World Cup in January last year. Yang Hyun-joon (Celtic), who was called up for two warm-up matches ahead of last year's World Cup, also took the opportunity to make his A-match debut.
Meanwhile, Kim Joon-hong (Kim Cheon-sang-mu), Kim Ji-soo (Brentford), and Lee Soon-min (Gwangju FC) were selected for the A national team for the first time. Kim Jun-hong joined the third goalkeeper position in place of Song Bum-keun.
Kim Ji-soo, who drew attention due to his transfer to Brandford, and Lee Soon-min, the star of the promotion team's sensation, were also honored with the Taegeuk mark.
There was also an arrangement with the Asian Games national team. First of all, Baek Seung-ho and Song Min-kyu (Jeonbuk), Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart), and Park Kyu-hyun (Dresden) were excluded from the European expedition so that they could participate in the Asian Games national team Changwon training.
On the other hand, Seol Young-woo (Ulsan Hyundai) and Hong Hyun-suk (KAA Hent) will join the A national team.
Although there have been changes in many ways, the biggest interest in the announcement of the national team list was the announcement of the "no communication" list. Unlike his predecessor, manager Jürgen Klinsmann, who is close to self-indulgence, even skipped an interview on the site of the list announcement this time.
South Korea, where Hwang In-beom (Olympiacos) scored an equalizer, lost the return match against Uruguay.
South Korea (FIFA ranking 25th) lost 1-2 in a friendly A match against Uruguay (FIFA ranking 16) at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 28th.
Before the game, South Korean coach Klinsmann is looking at the ground.
Due to his poor performance, Klinsmann also skipped an interview to announce the list. It's not just a warm-up match. In the September A match, Klinsmann will face Wales on September 8 and Saudi Arabia on September 13 in England.
As it was not only the first European expedition since the Corona period, but also the September A-match against Saudi Arabia, the championship rival at the upcoming Asian Cup, coach Klinsmann needed to reveal the national team's plan and the reason for selecting players. However, he chose to distribute the press release for his own convenience.
What's interesting is that Klinsmann has been diligently enjoying media interviews recently. While working from home in the U.S., he appeared as a panel of soccer programs for ESPN and AS, analyzing and evaluating Tottenham and other Premier League teams and evaluating trends of Harry Kane and Lionel Messi.
In addition, he was criticized for making a move that is hard to be considered as a coach of the Korean national team who reached the round of 16 in the World Cup, predicting some of the crew losses. Klinsmann, who justified himself at the meeting, remained silent in the announcement of the A national team's starting list, unlike when he worked as a panelist.
a contradictory situation in many ways. At the meeting, Klinsmann insisted that it was a "contradiction" to be on the scene. In a way, it may not be wrong. In fact, he has a history of announcing his resignation on Facebook Live during Hertha Berlin.
Perhaps this kind of behavior of director Klinsmann was predicted. At the time of his appointment, the KFA said it had included conditions for living in Korea in Klinsmann's contract. However, as if such conditions have gone somewhere, the KFA has no control over Klinsmann's self-indulgence.
As Klinsmann said, the position that it is irrelevant to both observing players and announcing the roster online is not easily accepted by the public. According to his argument, is it necessary for coach Klinsmann to observe players and announce the list online and conduct the command on the spot? 토토사이트
Due to Klinsmann's neglect and KFA's on the sidelines, the Qatar World Cup Round of 16 performance is drifting in color. If Klinsmann continues his steps so far, it would not be strange to say that he will conduct remotely from home at the upcoming Asian Cup.
