Korea, World Cup 3rd Qualifying Round

Korea, World Cup 3rd Qualifying Round Could be a Thorny Path… Painful Draw Against Thailand

Falling from 3rd to 4th place in Asia after being pushed out by Australia, which won against Lebanon, if this continues, we will be grouped with one of Japan, Iran, and Australia in the third preliminary round.

As the Korean national soccer team ended in a draw with Thailand at home, there is a greater possibility that the road to the 2026 North and Central America World Cup finals will become more difficult. 온라인카지노

The Korean national soccer team, led by interim Coach Hwang Sun-hong, drew 1-1 in the third match of Group C of the 2026 North and Central America World Cup Asia 2nd qualifying round against Thailand held at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 21st.

If they had achieved a refreshing multiple-goal victory against Thailand, who were considered to be one step below them, they would have been able to declare a ‘new start’ in a good mood, leaving behind the Qatar Asian Cup failure and repeated ‘incidents’ and ‘scandals’, but that was not possible.

What’s even more painful is that there is a greater possibility that Korea will be defeated by Australia in the FIFA rankings to be announced in April.

Korea ranks 22nd in the most recent FIFA rankings released in February.

Among Asian Football Confederation (AFC) member countries, it ranks third highest after Japan (18th) and Iran (20th).

Australia, which ranks fourth, is ranked 23rd, just below Korea.

However, while Korea ended up in a draw with Thailand, Australia in Group I of the second Asian preliminary round recorded a 2-0 win over Lebanon, setting the stage for them to overtake Korea and rise to third place in Asia.

Korea’s February FIFA ranking points were 1,566.21 points, and Australia’s were 1,554.82 points.

If the results of the previous day’s game are reflected according to the FIFA ranking calculation method, Korea lost 7.47 points, resulting in 1,558.74 points.

It falls two places to 24th place.

This is why Korea lost 7.47 ranking points even though it did not lose to Thailand.

Thailand’s FIFA ranking is 101st, a whopping 79 places lower than Korea.

Korea has maintained its third place in Asia since September of last year, but due to the draw against Thailand, there is a greater possibility that it will fall to fourth place in the rankings to be announced in April.

If things continue like this, Korea will have to walk a ‘thorny path’ in the 3rd Asian qualifying round starting in September.

The third preliminary round will be held with 18 participating countries competing in three groups of six teams each.

If you are ranked in the top 3 in Asia in the FIFA rankings, you will have a greater chance of being placed in pot 1 in the group draw and receiving a favorable group arrangement.

If Korea enters the group draw in 4th place, an unfortunate event will occur where it will be placed in a group with one of the ‘four Asian kings’ – Japan, Iran, or Australia.

This is why Korea should not be satisfied with ‘passing the second round of qualifying’.

To enter pot 1 in the third preliminary round draw, a team must win all three remaining games.

Only then can we surpass Australia and become third in Asia.

First of all, the 4th game against Thailand on the 26th is expected to be a critical moment.

It is expected to be a more difficult match than the third game.

Thailand, coached by Japanese coach Masatada Ishii, gained momentum by achieving a draw that was almost like a victory in the away game in Korea with solid defensive organization and sharp counterattacks.

On the other hand, Korea, which absolutely did not have enough time to add Director Hwang’s ‘color’, was in a panic.

It is unclear how much tactical perfection can be improved by the fourth game.

Taegeuk warriors also have to contend with the sweltering heat in Bangkok, where daytime temperatures approach 35 degrees.

Soccer commentator Han Jun-hee said, “Thailand is a team with a well-prepared manual for dealing with strong teams, and the players’ stamina is good enough to implement their game model.”

He added, “Korea can see Thailand’s strengths and movements through the third game.

“As we have experienced this, we need to come up with various preparations for the 4th game,” he said.

Commentator Park Chan-ha said, “Coach Hwang, who led the team that was broken under the full-time coach system as an interim coach rather than an official coach, was in a difficult situation where he had to bring about positive change even in conditions where it was not easy to do anything right away.”

“The fourth game will be a real test for Coach Hwang,” he said.

Ataru’s Winning Goal, Ulsan Defeats Pohang and Wins 1 – 0

ATARU’S WINNING GOAL, ULSAN DEFEATS POHANG AND WINS 1-0 IN THE OPENING GAME OF K-LEAGUE 1

Ataru’s first goal in K-League 1 this season… Pohang Aspro’s ‘No. 1 exit’

Defending champion’ Ulsan HD defeated ‘difficult enemy’ Pohang Steelers in the opening game and took the first step toward winning their third consecutive K-League 1 title. 파워볼게임

In the opening game of the first round of the professional soccer Hana Bank K League 1 2024 against Pohang held at Munsu Stadium in Ulsan on the 1st, Ulsan saved Ataru’s goal in the 6th minute of the second half and won 1-0.

As a result, Ulsan, who achieved their second consecutive victory in K League 1 last year, defeated ‘last year’s FA Cup champion’ Pohang in the opening match and announced the beginning of their challenge to lift the trophy for the third consecutive year.

Ulsan smiled brightly in the opening game of this season’s K League 1, which attracted attention as a match between last year’s K League 1 champion and the FA Cup champion.

Ulsan used the 4-2-3-1 tactic with ‘last year’s top scorer’ Joo Min-gyu as the lone top striker, while Pohang used the 4-4-2 tactic with foreign strikers Giorgi and Heo Yong-jun as the ‘two top strikers’.

For the opening match, 28,683 ‘cloud spectators’ flocked to Munsu Stadium.

This is the largest attendance ever for Ulsan’s opening home game since 2018, when paid attendance statistics began.

Ulsan increased the intensity of its attack from the beginning of the game, but had difficulty breaking through Pohang’s defensive wall, which was counterattacked after the player’s defense.

In particular, Pohang Steelers changed to a 5-4-1 tactic in a defensive situation and blocked Ulsan’s attack with a ‘two-line defensive wall’.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Ulsan replaced right wing Jang Si-young, a U-22 resource, with Eom Won-sang to strengthen mobility.

Ulsan took the opportunity to score the first goal.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, in a mixed situation at goal following Ulsan’s free kick, Eom Won-sang’s cross from the right side of the penalty area was redirected by Kim Min-woo in front of the goal area, shaking the goal.

However, the assistant referee immediately raised the offside flag.

Kim Min-woo was in an offside position when Eom Won-sang’s pass was delivered.

After taking a breather, Pohang immediately launched a counterattack, and in the 33rd minute of the first half, Giorgi caught a pass from behind and put the ball into Ulsan’s net with a powerful left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area.

However, Giorgi was also in an offside position the moment he received the pass, and the goal was canceled with the assistant referee’s offside flag.

Ulsan, who finished the first half scoreless, finally scored the first goal in the 6th minute of the second half, and the protagonist was Japanese attacking midfielder Ataru.

Ataru, who received the ball on the left side of the penalty area, connected a strong cross towards Joo Min-gyu, who was rushing towards the goal.

However, the ball did not hit Joo Min-gyu’s foot, and the ball, which bounced in front of the goal, was sucked into the Pohang goal.

It was the moment when the first goal of this season’s K League 1 was born.

Ataru’s score ended up being the winning goal.

Ulsan was in danger of conceding a decisive goal in the 19th minute of the second half, but ‘Spider Hand’ Cho Hyun-woo’s super save shined.

Pohang’s Hong Yun-sang’s powerful shot from near the left side of the penalty arc was blocked by Cho Hyun-woo’s fingertips as he flew forward.

Pohang, desperate for an equalizer, tried to block Ulsan’s Eom Won-sang from a counterattack in the 44th minute of the second half, but attempted a back tackle, and the referee took out a ‘red card’, saying that they had blocked a perfect goal opportunity.

Aspro, who joined Pohang this year, suffered the disgrace of being the ‘No. 1 player to be sent off’ in K League 1 this season.

Ulsan, who continued their last-minute offensive with a numerical superiority, was unable to score an additional goal, but ended up winning the home game comfortably.

Cho Kyu-seong, Who Saved the Klinsmann From the Edge of a Cliff

Asian Cup, Overcoming Criticism and Eventually Becoming a Solution… Cho Kyu-seong, Who Saved the Klinsmann From the Edge of a Cliff

Although they were criticized for their poor performance throughout the group stage, they were in full swing at Education City Stadium after scoring a dramatic equalizer against Saudi Arabia in the round of 16.

Penalty shootout was also successful.

Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland), who suffered criticism for his poor performance in the group stage of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, saved Klinsmann, who was pushed to the brink. 카지노

The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, won 4-2 in a penalty shoot-out after finishing the first and second halves and overtime 1-1 in the round of 16 against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 31st (Korean time).

We won and advanced to the quarterfinals.

Until just before the end of the second half, Klinsmann’s defeat was clear.

The Korean national soccer team, who conceded a goal to Abdullah Radif in the first minute of the second half, was unable to score a goal to make up for it even when extra time began in the second half, and was on the verge of elimination.

After more than 8 minutes of the 10 minutes of additional time had passed, Cho Gyu-seong took on the role of the Klinsmann’s problem solver.

A cross from the right side hit the head of Seol Young-woo (Ulsan), who entered the penalty box from the other side, and headed toward the goal.

Cho Kyu-seong, who overcame the defense and competition, jumped up and attempted a heading shot again, and the ball passed over Cho Kyu-seong’s head and fell into the empty goal.

It was the ‘one shot’ that saved Korean soccer at a moment of desperation.

Thanks to Cho Gyu-sung’s golden score, Jurgen Klinsmann was once again given the opportunity to decide the winner from square one, and eventually defeated Saudi Arabia in a penalty shootout and advanced to the quarterfinals.

On this day, Cho Gyu-seong was replaced by Lee Jae-seong (Mainz) in the 19th minute of the second half.

Cho Gyu-seong, who won the competition for the front line of Lake Klinsmann, appeared as a starting striker in all three group league games, but received strong criticism from fans due to his poor performance.

In all three games, the team continued to take the lead and go on the offensive, but as Cho Gyu-sung repeatedly missed easy scoring opportunities, Klinsmann suffered unexpected struggles against teams that were considered one level below him.

Klinsmann, who drew 2-2 in the second game of Group E with Jordan, also drew 3-3 in the third game with Malaysia, and fans’ doubts grew as to whether they would be able to achieve their first win in 64 years.

Coincidentally, during this tournament, a portion of a TV entertainment program that Jo Kyu-sung recorded in the past was aired, and criticisms such as ‘Focus on soccer, not entertainment’ emerged, harassing Jo Kyu-sung.

Gyu-seong Cho proved his true worth with his ‘skill’ in the fourth game of this tournament.

He repaid the faith of Manager Klinsmann, who hired him, by hitting the net with his trademark high-RBI header.

This is Cho Gyu-seong’s 9th goal in his 35th A match (match between national teams).

Cho Gyu-seong has a deep connection with Education City Stadium, where Korea and Saudi Arabia competed to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament.

The reason why Cho Gyu-sung rose to stardom was because of his performance in this stadium.

The second match against Ghana in the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup group stage was held here.

The national team, which challenged the World Cup under former coach Paulo Bento, lost the game 2-3, but Cho Kyu-sung scored two goals with a header, giving comfort to Korean soccer fans.

At the time, Cho Kyu-sung scored two goals, beating Uruguay, who had the same record of one win, one draw, and one loss, and Bentoho was able to advance to the round of 16 by taking second place in the group after Portugal.

In fact, it was only when Cho Kyu-seong arrived at the stadium that he found out that the round of 16 would be played at Education City Stadium, the ‘promised land’.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Cho Kyu-seong said, “I came to the stadium, and I thought it was a stadium I had seen many times, so (Hwang) Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) asked my brother.

He said it was the stadium for the match against Ghana.

As soon as I heard it, I thought ‘that’s it’ and laughed to myself.”

He told the story afterwards.

Cho Gyu-seong, who was excluded from the starting lineup that day and watched the game from the bench, said, “I prepared thinking I would score in any situation,” and at the moment of scoring, “I felt very disappointed (that I had not scored) until now.

I finally realized that a goal had been scored.” “I heard it,” he said.

He strengthened his motivation against Australia, the quarterfinal opponent, saying, “I heard (the players) are extremely tall, so I will try my best to clash with them.”

Cho Kyu-seong, who scored three field goals at Education City Stadium alone, was actually able to score his fourth field goal on the day as well.

In a counterattack in the 3rd minute of the second half of extra time, the moment goalkeeper Ahmad Alcázar left the goal, Gyu-seong Cho had a chance to shoot, but he made a poor decision to give it to the side and the goal was cancelled. 메이저사이트 백링크

Putting his regrets behind him, Cho Gyu-seong took the third kicker in the penalty shootout and calmly hit the net, contributing to victory even at the last minute.

In an interview with a broadcaster after the game, Cho Gyu-seong said, “I had more opportunities, but I think I feel more disappointed because I couldn’t use them all.”

He said, “Earlier, when (Lee) Kang-in sent a cross, I said, ‘This is enough,’ but unfortunately, it hit the goalpost, and I thought, ‘There will be another one next time.'”

He added, “The moment (Seol) Young-woo gave it to me, I said, ‘This is a goal.’

“I think I thought so,” he added.

Hwang Hee-chan “Our Goal is Only to Win”

Asian Cup ‘Complete Victory in Penalty Shootout’ Hwang Hee-chan “Our Goal is Only to Win”

4-2 victory with the fourth kicker in the penalty shootout… “The national team has become stronger.”

“We are happy and happy to win today, but our goal is to win.” 스포츠토토

Bull’ Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), who did not lose his composure in the nail-biting penalty shootout moment and achieved Klinsmann’s victory with an accurate shot, was not excited and only thought of ‘moving forward toward the victory’.

Hwang Hee-chan In the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup round of 16 penalty shootout against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 31st (Korean time), he was the team’s fourth kicker and succeeded in scoring, leading Korea to a 4-2 victory.

The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jürgen Klinsmann, drew 1-1 against Saudi Arabia on this day after a 120-minute battle that went into overtime, and then won 4-2 in a penalty shootout to secure a ticket to the quarterfinals.

Hwang Hee-chan was Klinsmann’s ‘sore finger’ as he attempted to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years.

Hwang Hee-chan, who scored 10 goals in the English professional soccer Premier League (EPL) this season and ranked 6th in the scoring rankings, was highly anticipated as a key offensive resource for Klinsmann.

However, prior to the opening of the tournament, he complained of a problem with his hip muscles and missed the first and second group games in succession, and the national team also failed to show a hot performance, which made Hwang Hee-chan anxious.

Hwang Hee-chan, who worked hard on rehabilitation, appeared for the first time in this tournament as a substitute in the 17th minute of the second half of the third group match against Malaysia, but was unable to smile brightly as the national team ended in an embarrassing 3-3 draw.

Hwang Hee-chan stayed on the bench in the round of 16 match against Saudi Arabia on this day, but stepped on the field in place of Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) in the 9th minute of the second half when the team was down 0-1.

Hwang Hee-chan, who played on the left wing, made the Saudi defense difficult with his characteristic aggressive breakthrough.

In the second half of extra time, he dug into the left side of the penalty area and attempted a cutback, drawing out a threatening left-footed shot from Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain).

It was unfortunate that Lee Kang-in’s shot was blocked by the goalkeeper and did not result in a goal.

Korea went into a penalty shootout after the overtime battle ended 1-1, with Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan), and Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) scoring goals in succession, and goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan) making two saves to win the 3rd.

He was ahead by -2.

At the moment when one more goal was needed, Hwang Hee-chan stepped forward as the fourth kicker, and after a long battle of nerves with the goalkeeper, he succeeded in scoring, ending the 4-2 penalty shootout win.

Hwang Hee-chan, who met with reporters in the common reporting area after the game, smiled brightly and said, “As a member of the national team and a professional player, I am very proud and happy to win the tournament and the international match.”

Hwang Hee-chan continued, “First of all, I’m very happy, but our goal is to win, so I think we’re one step closer.

As we have a bigger goal, we need to prepare well for the remaining games.

It’s nice to see everyone working hard to score a goal like today.”

“This is the true character of the team.

I would like to praise the entire team, including the starters and substitutes,” he emphasized.

Regarding the fact that the penalty shootout took a long time, he explained, “It was a very important moment.

As all the Korean fans were watching, I went into the penalty shootout more carefully,” and added, “I practiced enough, but I tried to kick with more responsibility.”

Regarding the introduction of the three-back for the first time since the appointment of coach Klinsmann on this day, he said, “I started training immediately after the group stage.

I have never used it since the coach took office, but I was well aware of the tactic as the players were at a high level.”

“Even during the break, the players continued to prepare by discussing tactics with each other,” he said.

Hwang Hee-chan emphasized, “Actually, the draw against Malaysia was a big turning point for the national team. After that game, the team atmosphere got better.

Although there were not many goals today, we created a lot of good scenes.

I want to praise that part.” did.

He raised his voice, saying, “All players must continue to work hard to move toward higher goals. 메이저사이트 백링크

Today, I came on as a substitute and played for over 90 minutes.

I have to prepare my condition as the coach orders.

I want to be helpful to the team.”

Midfielder Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) of the Korean national soccer team, which beat Saudi Arabia and is heading to the quarterfinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, gave a thumbs up to Cho Kyu-sung (Midtjylland), who saved the team from the brink. 온라인카지노사이트

Jurgen Klinsmann The Korean national soccer team, led by the coach, won 4-2 in a penalty shootout after finishing the first and second halves and overtime 1-1 in the round of 16 against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 31st (Korean time).

They advanced to the quarterfinals.

In an interview with reporters after the game, Hwang In-beom pointedly mentioned Cho Kyu-seong and said, “If I were a striker like Kyu-seong, I would really feel a lot of pressure.”

He added, “Nevertheless, I am really proud and cool that he played a role in such an important moment today,” and added, “I think many fans also felt the need for Kyuseong.”

Striker Cho Gyu-seong showed off his ‘solver instinct’ well in this game.

After conceding a goal to Abdullah Radif in the first minute of the second half, Klinsmann was on the verge of elimination as there were no points to make up for it until just before the end of the second half.

After more than 8 minutes of the 10-minute extra time had passed, Cho Gyu-seong returned Seol Young-woo’s (Ulsan) headed pass with a headed shot, opening Saudi Arabia’s goal and sending the game into overtime.

Cho Gyu-seong, who took on the third kicker in the penalty shootout, once again hit the net with a calm shot, contributing to the victory at the last minute.

Hwang In-beom said, “I think today’s game will help the team become stronger.

“I’m so happy,” he said, emphasizing that “there were a lot of disappointing aspects for our team, but we should be praised for not giving up until the end.”

On this day, Coach Klinsmann brought out the three-back, which he did not use often.

In relation to this, Hwang In-beom said, “Sometimes the national team “When I was called up, I trained so that I could change to a three-back during the game,” he said.

“Ahead of this game, I initially prepared with a three-back.”

“Except for conceding goals, I think we did a good job of blocking the opponent’s threatening attacks until overtime,” he said.

“After the Malaysia game, we did recovery training, and from the next training, we continued to practice three-backs.”

“That wasn’t even the first time I trained,” he repeatedly emphasized.

Now, Klinsmann’s next opponent is Australia.

The quarterfinals between Korea and Australia will kick off at 0:30 a.m. on February 3.

After two days of rest, it will be game day.

Hwang In-beom said, “Now I have to endure with my mental strength.

“I hope we can continue the solidity we gained today (in the quarterfinals),” he said.

Klinsmann was the Only One Who Laughed and Almost Cried

Asian Cup Klinsmann was the Only One Who Laughed and Almost Cried… The Winning Journey Continues After 64 Years

Coach Klinsmann wins by decision in a battle of wits with Mancini, the world’s highest paid coach Mancini, who left work early, said, “I fought well against one of the best teams in the world.”

Korean soccer continues its journey to win the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years by surpassing Saudi Arabia under coach Roberto Mancini, a ‘master’ and the world’s highest-paid coach.

The Korean soccer team, led by coach Jürgen Klinsmann, won on the 31st ( (Korean time) in the round of 16 against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar, after being tied 1-1 in the first half and overtime, they won 4-2 in a penalty shootout. 카지노사이트

As a result, Klinsmann’s challenge for his first win since the 1960 competition continues beyond the quarterfinals.

The match between Korea and Saudi Arabia on this day attracted the attention of soccer fans around the world as a match between the ‘big name head coaches’ of Asian soccer.

Coach Mancini, who faced Korean soccer as an ‘enemy general,’ is known to receive the highest salary among soccer coaches around the world.

When he took command of Saudi Arabia in August last year, Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport reported that his annual salary ranges from 25 million euros (about 36.1 billion won) to a maximum of 30 million euros (about 43 billion won).

Coach Mancini, who left European soccer after being offered a large salary, is a self-proclaimed ‘master’.

He has won numerous trophies in his professional career, including leading England’s Manchester City to their first Premier League (EPL) title.

He led Italy’s Inter Milan to three consecutive Serie A titles (2005-2006, 2006-2007, and 2007-2008 seasons), and gave Italy its first trophy in 53 years at the European Football Championships (Euro 2020) held in 2021.

Even such a great player was unable to achieve the task of leading Saudi Arabia (56th place), which was far behind in the FIFA rankings, to surpass Korea (23rd place) by just one inch.

Saudi football, which Coach Mancini implemented with a high-quality defensive strategy that uses three backs and four backs, pushed Korea, which had a different ranking, to the brink.

The Saudi defense, which only conceded one goal through a penalty kick in the group stage, also made Klinsmann, which had a brilliant attacking team led by European players, struggle in the round of 16 as well.

However, Klinsmann-ho, who made a comeback with Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland)’s dramatic equalizer just before the end of regular time, became the winner in the penalty shoot-out thanks to the performance of goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan).

Coach Mancini seemed to sense defeat when Cho Hyun-woo blocked shots by Saudi Arabia’s third and fourth kickers in succession, and left the field before the result of the game was confirmed.

According to Qatari media Alkas, among the head coaches from each country participating in this tournament, Coach Klinsmann has the second highest annual salary after Coach Mancini.

Coach Klinsmann’s annual salary is estimated to be about 2.8 billion won.

It appears to be less than 1/12th of Coach Mancini’s level.

For both coaches, their soccer associations did not disclose contract terms, including salary.

Both coaches, who were born in 1964 and are the same age, were strikers during their active years.

He even competed with them on the Serie A stage.

When Coach Klinsmann joined Inter Milan for his first overseas expansion in 1989, he competed with Coach Mancini, who was at Sampdoria, for three seasons.

During this period, Coach Klinsmann scored 34 goals in the league and Mancini scored 29 goals.

Looking at the player’s entire career, Coach Klinsmann, who won the 1990 World Cup in Italy and Euro 1996, has an advantage over Coach Mancini, who has not won a major trophy.

Although Coach Mancini was pushed aside by the power of Coach Klinsmann, who was one of the leading stars in the world of soccer, the exact opposite situation occurred for his coach.

Unlike Coach Mancini, who boasts a variety of championships, Coach Klinsmann’s only record of winning a major tournament was at the top of the 2013 North and Central America Gold Cup while leading the U.S. national team.

His professional team coaching experience is even more shabby.

He suddenly resigned 77 days after taking charge of Hertha Berlin (Germany) in 2019, drawing criticism from local fans.

Just before the opening of the Asian Cup, American sports media ESPN said, ‘Korea with Son Heung-min.

There continues to be a mixture of suspicion towards director Klinsmann both at home and abroad, to the point where an article titled ‘Is Klinsmann the right director?’

Coincidentally, Saudi Arabia, led by Coach Mancini, was Coach Klinsmann’s ‘first win opponent’.

Korea, which had been on a 5-game winless streak (3 draws, 2 losses) since coach Klinsmann took office at the end of February last year, finally took a breather with a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia on September 13.

Mancini Saudi Arabia’, eager for revenge, packed up their bags after losing once again in a match held on the single-wood bridge heading to the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup 140 days later.

Coach Mancini, who gave a broadcast interview with beIN Sports with a bitter expression after the game, said, “This is soccer,” and added, “I am satisfied with the performance our players showed. 토토사이트 백링크

They played a great game against one of the best teams in the world.” said.

Klinsmann, The Price of not Finishing First in the Group

Asian Cup Only Two Days of Rest Until the Quarterfinals… Klinsmann “The Price of not Finishing First in the Group”

“The fact that we are only given two days off before the game against Australia is the price we pay for not finishing first in the group,” said Jurgen Klinsmann, coach of the Korean national soccer team, at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar match against Saudi Arabia on the 30th (local time).

He said this after finishing the Asian Cup round of 16.

Korea was unable to tie the game at 1-1 until overtime, and won 4-2 in a penalty shootout, barely advancing to the quarterfinals. 바카라사이트

The opponent in the quarterfinals is Australia.

This is the team with the best physique among the participating countries in this tournament.

However, Australia won 4-0 in the 90-minute regular time against Indonesia two days ago, on the 28th.

The match between Korea and Australia will kick off at 6:30 PM on the 2nd of next month (0:30 AM on the 3rd in Korean time).

In Korea, game day comes after two days of rest.

On the other hand, Australia can rest for four days.

In this situation, it is a big bad news that Korea had to go to a penalty shootout.

When asked how to overcome this physical problem, Coach Klinsmann said, “There is not a lot of time left.

“It’s a long time to make a difference,” he said.

“Today’s victory can give positive and bright energy to the team atmosphere.”

“I’m happy to be with these players,” he said.

Coach Klinsmann said he had no complaints about the schedule itself, which had a two-day gap in rest time between the two teams that reached the quarterfinals.

He said, “People say we took second place in the group to avoid Japan, but that’s not true at all.

We wanted to avoid this schedule by taking first place in the group.

We didn’t finish first in the group, so now we have to deal with it.”

The match on this day also attracted attention as a ‘star coach match’ between coach Klinsmann and Saudi coach Roberto Mancini.

Coach Klinsmann said, “Last September, we played an evaluation match against Saudi Arabia, where Coach Mancini had just taken office, and looking at Saudi Arabia then and now, it was amazing how much he transformed the team into a strong team in a short period of time.”

He continued, “Saudi dominated the game in the first half.

He tried to change the atmosphere at halftime, and it worked out well.”

Coach Klinsmann emphasized, “We have been continuously preparing through training for situations leading up to a penalty shootout.

We predicted it would be a difficult game, and we prepared everything.”

When asked, ‘Can you still promise Korean fans that you will win the championship?’ Coach Klinsmann said, “I never ‘promised’ that we would win.

There is nothing that can be taken for granted in soccer.

I told our fans that I would approach the competition with the goal of winning.

“It’s just that,” he said.

He continued, “Looking at our abilities, qualifications, and performance as a team, I think we are a team capable of winning.”

Cho Hyun-woo made two consecutive saves in the round of 16 penalty shootout against Saudi Arabia, filling in the gap of ‘No. 1 GK’ Kim Seung-gyu, who left the national team due to injury, and gave a perfect score.

Spider Hand’ Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan)’s brilliant penalty shoot-out save helped the Korean national soccer team, led by Coach Jurgen Klinsmann, advance to the quarterfinals of the Asian Cup.

In the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Round of 16 match against Saudi Arabia held at the Education City Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar on the 31st (Korean time), Jo Hyun-woo was tied 1-1 after 120 minutes of overtime, and in the subsequent penalty shootout, two of the opposing kickers were defeated. 온라인카지노

He blocked the shot and led Korea to advance to the quarterfinals.

On this day, Korea gave up the first goal to Saudi Arabia’s Abdullah Radif shortly after the start of the second half, but Cho Gyu-seong (Midtjylland) scored an equalizer with a header in extra time in the second half, sending the game into overtime.

Even in overtime, both teams remained scoreless, and the game eventually went to a penalty shootout.

In the penalty shootout that started with Saudi Arabia taking the lead, the first and second kickers of both teams hit the net, making it 2-2.

Saudi’s third kicker, Sami Al-Nazui, kicked into the left corner of the goal, and Cho Hyun-woo, who read the direction, fell to the side and made a save with his knee.

It was a moment when Cho Hyun-woo’s most powerful weapon, his saving ability, shined.

Cho Gyu-seong, Korea’s third kicker, made a clean shot to make it 3-2, and Cho Hyun-woo stood at the goal line once again.

Abdurrahman Gharib, Saudi Arabia’s fourth kicker, kicked low toward the corner of the goal, but this time, Cho Hyun-woo, who read the direction, dived and blocked the ball.

After Cho Hyun-woo showed off two brilliant saves in a row, Saudi Arabian Coach Roberto Mancini seemed to have already sensed defeat and left the field even though the winner or loser was not confirmed.

Immediately after Coach Mancini’s ‘early departure’, Korea’s fourth kicker, Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), scored, completing a 4-2 penalty shootout win and confirming their advancement to the quarterfinals.

The Taegeuk Warriors shared the joy of their thrilling victory by embracing ‘Bright Hyeon-woo’ Jo Hyeon-woo, who led Korea to the quarterfinals with two consecutive saves.

Jo Hyun-woo met with reporters after the game and smiled brightly, saying, “I was confident that I could stop the match in a penalty shootout,” and “I feel good because I won with a good result.”

He revealed the secret to his penalty shoot-out save, saying, “I practiced a lot of penalty shoot-outs, and the goalkeeper coach trusted me and said, ‘Your judgments are all right.’

I made good decisions and made the save.”

Regarding the 5 goals conceded to Jordan and Malaysia in the last 2 group stage games, Cho Hyun-woo said, “Of course, if a goalkeeper is in the game, he shouldn’t score goals,” but said, “I don’t really care about the past, either individually or as a team.” maintained.

In fact, Cho Hyun-woo was not the starting goalkeeper for the Korean national team.

Since the time of former coach Paulo Bento, Kim Seung-gyu (Al-Shabaab) has always been the starting goalkeeper of the national team, and Cho Hyun-woo has been waiting to step in as the ‘second goalkeeper’.

Cho Hyun-woo, who was selected as one of the best 11 goalkeepers of the K League season for 7 consecutive years, is considered the best goalkeeper in Korea.

Jo Hyun-woo’s saving ability is excellent, but in modern soccer, which emphasizes build-up, Kim Seung-gyu, who has better feet, was chosen.

However, Kim Seung-gyu withdrew from the national team due to a ruptured right anterior cruciate ligament during team training after the Asian Cup Group E first match against Bahrain, and ‘second goalie’ Cho Hyun-woo began guarding the goal from the second group match against Jordan.

Although he gave up 5 goals in 2 group stage games against Jordan and Malaysia, he eventually became a guardian in the tournament by saving the team with a ‘dazzling save show’ based on his great experience as the starting goalkeeper during the 2018 Russia World Cup. 카지노사이트 백링크

KT Director Lee Kang-cheol is Happy

KT Director Lee Kang-cheol is Happy, “Hwang Jae-gyun Didn’t Even Care About the Mistakes he Made”

Veteran infielders who made mistakes in games 1 and 2, Hosbi said in game 3, “I found my sense of the game”

Cuevas must take responsibility for the 4th inning… I’m sure the winning team will come out again.

KT Wiz coach Lee Kang-cheol made critical mistakes in the first and second games of the playoffs (PO), but was pleased with the veteran infielders who led the team to victory in the third game with a huge rain parade, saying, “I think they have found their sense of the game.” 온라인카지노

In addition, he did not hide his belief that the veteran infielder would create an inflection point on the stage this fall.

Coach Lee Kang-cheol said ahead of the visiting game against the NC Dinos in Game 4 of the 2023 Professional Baseball PO held at Changwon NC Park on the 3rd, “If less experienced players made such mistakes, they might not be able to overcome them and would collapse, but our players didn’t care at all.”

“I think it’s strength,” he said.

KT third baseman Hwang Jae-gyun failed to catch an ordinary fly ball in the first game of PO, providing an excuse for a run, and in the second game of PO, first basemen Byeong-ho Park and Jae-gyun Hwang made crucial errors and were shaken.

The mound was shaken by a series of errors by the infielders, and two PO games were completely dedicated.

However, the two players performed well and played stably in the 3rd PO match on the 2nd.

Accordingly, Go Young-pyo, a ground ball-inducing pitcher, trusted the infield defense and threw his balls to his heart’s content.

Manager Lee Kang-cheol said, “I felt that the infielders’ sense of the game had recovered,” and “If the young players had made such mistakes, they would have had to be replaced.”

He also chuckled, saying, “Hwang Jae-gyun didn’t care. He didn’t seem to feel sorry.”

He erased his mistakes from his mind and praised the veteran infielders who devoted themselves to the game.

However, veteran second baseman Park Kyung-soo, who had made several poor performances the previous day, was removed from the starting lineup that day.

Instead, Oh Yoon-seok was put in.

Coach Lee Kang-cheol said, “Park Kyung-soo complained of pain in both legs after finishing the game yesterday,” and added, “It is enough for him to play major defense in the second half of the game.”

KT won the day before and recorded 1 win and 2 losses in PO, but is still standing on the edge.

If you lose the game on this day, you will be eliminated.

KT selected foreign pitcher William Cuevas, who was the starting pitcher in Game 1, as the starting pitcher for Game 4 as PO.

Cuevas will start again after resting for only three days.

Manager Lee Kang-cheol replied, “We haven’t set a limit on the number of pitches,” and “But we will have to take responsibility for about four innings.”

When asked if Cuevas had prepared a long relief pitcher in case he was forced to play early, he said, “There are no suitable players.

We need to use sure-win pitchers again.”

This means that the core bullpen consisting of Son Dong-hyun, Park Young-hyun, and Kim Jae-yoon will be operated on this day as well.

He also praised designated hitter Moon Sang-cheol, who hits long balls every day.

Moon Sang-cheol hit a home run against the opposing team’s ace Eric Peddy in the first game, and in the second game, he was the only KT hitter to produce a hit against opposing starting pitcher Shin Min-hyuk.

And in Game 3, he hit a solo home run that put a dent in the game.

Manager Lee Kang-cheol said, “There were designated hitters such as Lee Ho-yeon and Kim Min-hyuk, but Moon Sang-cheol was brought in as a starter because his record against starting pitcher Peddie in the first game was not bad,” and added, “He hit well in the first game and is continuing to use him.”

He went on to explain, “Today’s opponent’s starting pitcher, Song Myung-ki, wasn’t very good, but he has been hitting well recently, so I appointed Moon Sang-cheol as the starting designated hitter again.”

Moon Sang-cheol will start as the designated hitter at number 6.

Regarding the situation in which he ordered Moon Sang-cheol to bunt the previous day but ended up in vain, Manager Lee Kang-cheol said, “It was my mistake.”

In addition, he added, “I tried to bunt well during training, but it didn’t work out as I expected,” and added, “I will watch the situation in today’s game.” 토토사이트 백링크

KT placed shortstop Kim Sang-su at number 1, and the batting order consisted of Hwang Jae-gyun (third baseman), Anthony Alford (left fielder), Park Byeong-ho (first baseman), and Jang Seong-woo (catcher).

Numbers 7 to 9 are played by Oh Yoon-seok (second baseman), Bae Jeong-dae (center fielder), and Cho Yong-ho (right fielder).

German Professional Soccer Team Expels a Player

[Iraq-Palestinian War] German Professional Soccer Team Expels a Player who Wrote a Post Supporting Palestine on Social Media

German professional soccer Bundesliga Mainz eventually expelled a player who publicly expressed opinions that could be interpreted as supporting Palestine through social media (SNS) in relation to the recent war between Israel and the Palestinian armed political faction Hamas.

Mainz announced on the 3rd (local time) that it had terminated the contract with striker Anwar El Ghazi.

This action comes four days after the club lifted the suspension of activity imposed on El Ghazi.

According to the German news agency dpa, El Ghazi was recently placed under investigation by local prosecutors on suspicion of spreading hate speech. 온라인카지노사이트

On the 15th of last month, El Ghazi wrote on social media, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” which can be interpreted as implying that Palestine’s territory should extend beyond the Jordan River area to the Mediterranean Sea.

dpa reported that this is the part where El Ghazi is suspected of having ideas that deny the existence of Israel between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

El Ghazi immediately deleted his post and explained, “I posted it for the sake of everyone’s peace,” but on the 17th of last month, he was already suspended by the club, prohibiting him from training or participating in games.

Mainz announced on the 30th of last month, two weeks later, that it would lift his suspension and give El Ghazi an opportunity to explain.

However, on the 1st, El Ghazi again caused a stir by posting a post on social media to the effect that there would be no apology or reversal of opinion.

When the investigative agency came forward

Mainz appears to have finally given up on accompanying him.

El Ghazi is a Moroccan-Dutch player who also played in the French and English leagues.

He joined Mainz, the team of Korean national team member Lee Jae-seong, last September.

After being notified of the contract termination, El Ghazi wrote on social media, “Stand up for the right thing even if it means being alone.

Losing your means of livelihood is nothing compared to the hell that is happening to innocent people in the Gaza Strip.”

Mainz’s players have been in disarray lately, both inside and out.

Coach Bo Svensson, who brought in Lee Jae-seong in 2021, resigned on the 2nd, taking responsibility for poor performance.

Mainz performed poorly this season with 3 draws and 6 losses in 9 regular league games, falling to 18th place, the lowest in the league.

For the first time since being promoted to the first division in the 2009-2010 season, we have to worry about relegation.

They were eliminated early on not only from the league but also from the German Football Association (DFB) Pokal, a cup competition.
