SON-KIM’s Korea, A Great Opportunity To Solve The Mystery Of 64 Years
The 64-year bad relationship between Korea and the Asian Cup is also drawing attention from overseas media.
CBS Sports, a leading U.S. sports media outlet, presented four meaningful numbers while dealing with the Asian Cup on the 14th.
The most prominent of them was 64.
It was a time when Korea did not win the Asian Cup. Korea is aiming to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years.
Many foreign media, including the official website of the Asian Cup, focus on the bad relationship between Korea and the Asian Cup. Korea is one of the strongest in Asia, including its performance, the number of World Cup participations, and its achievements in international competitions.
Korea, along with Japan, also has the strongest power in Asia in this tournament.
The media also said, “Host Qatar won a strong 3-0 victory over Lebanon. It got off to a good start, but it will be difficult to beat Japan and Korea to win the title.”
However, Korea has not won the championship in Asia’s most prestigious tournament for 64 years.
Korea has made it to the finals for the most time in a row. It has made it to the finals for the 14th time in a row along with Iran. 스포츠토토
Korea is also the country that advanced to the semifinals the most. The country recorded a whopping 10 times. It also recorded the most number of times that it advanced to the finals with Saudi Arabia six times. Korea also ranked second the most. It was the fourth time.
However, after winning consecutive Asian Cup titles in 1960 and 1964, Korea’s winning history was cut off. Japan has won four times, while Saudi Arabia and Iran have won three times.
Korea advanced to the final at the 2015 World Cup, but Australia was blocked. Ironically, Australia’s national team head coach at the time was Enzi Postecoglou. Korea’s star player is Son Heung-min. He is currently playing for Tottenham Hotspur. After taking the helm, Postecoglou named Son as the team’s captain, and he is actively playing as Tottenham’s absolute ace.
The media said, “South Korea, coached by former U.S. men’s national team coach Jürgen Klinsmann, a familiar name to the American people, is a golden opportunity to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years. Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan scored 22 goals in the Premier League this season, and Kim Min-jae is a world-class defender in charge of Bayern Munich’s center.”
