There is a hole in the offense of the South Korean national soccer team led by head coach Jürgen Klinsmann (59). Even Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) collapsed at a time when Oh Hyun-kyu (Celtic), Cho Kyu-sung (Mitwillan), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who had been steadily selected, were sidelined due to injuries. Hwang Hee-chan had his first chance to start the 2023-2024 season against Everton on the 27th, but was replaced 45 minutes into the first half due to a thigh injury. It is also unclear whether he will play in the A-match in September.

The national team’s offense collapsed. Oh Hyun-kyu, who was competing for striker, has been confirmed to be out for a long time due to injury, and Cho Kyu-sung needs to check his condition. Hwang Ui-jo (Nottingham) is not injured but is not playing for his team. Changes became inevitable as even Lee Kang-in and Hwang Hee-chan collapsed due to injuries. In particular, Lee Kang-in was such an important resource that Klinsmann insisted on transferring to the A match without conceding to the Asian Games national team. Captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham) is the only one in good condition.

It’s time to show off your confidence. Klinsmann, who took office in March, has been embroiled in controversy over remote command due to frequent overseas stays. In addition, he was criticized for neglecting professional soccer K-League players while checking mainly overseas players. “The way we identify players has changed from the past,” he said. They are also communicating remotely to check the condition of the players. “I am in frequent contact with Cha Du-ri, an advisor, and coach Michael Kim (Kim Young-min), and I am also aware of K-League players,” he was confidently.

In the A match in September, there was an opportunity to actively utilize the K leaguers identified so far. According to the Korea Football Association, Klinsmann watched a total of 16 games in person during his five months in office. Among them, K League 1 watched 10 games. As I am confident that I have identified many K-League players, it is an opportunity to select and test them.

There needs to be a clear reason for the selection criteria. Klinsmann, who is on a personal schedule in the U.S., where he lives, will immediately move to Europe. At the request of director Klinsmann, the association decided to distribute the press release without holding a press conference to announce the list. The press release will be released around 1 p.m. on the 28th. As a large number of new faces are selected due to the injury of the main players, an explanation of this should be added. 토토사이트

Klinsmann will try to win his first A match in September. In the four games he played since his appointment, he only lost two draws and two losses. The Klinsmann team will play Wales on September 8 and Saudi Arabia on September 13.
