British media described the soccer of coach Jurgen Klinsmann 60 as "Do-This-For-Me Football."
England's The Athletic reporter Tim Spears criticized South Korea's national team coach Jurgen Klinsmann on the 12th under the title "Jurgen Klinsmann and Korea's horrible Asian Cup." In the process, Spears explained in detail about "Do Me Soccer."
The South Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, returned home through Incheon International Airport at 9 p.m. on the 8th. "Klinsman" was eliminated after losing 0-2 in the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation AFC Qatar Asian Cup against Jordan at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Alayyan, Qatar, on the 7th.
Klinsmann has failed to win the Asian Cup title for the first time in 64 years. Since his inauguration in March last year, Klinsmann has boasted that his goal is to become the top Asian player, but he has failed to achieve his dream.
The semifinal match against Jordan was a poor match that would go down in the history of Asian soccer. Led by Klinsmann, South Korea failed to record a single shot on goal against Jordan.
Coach Klinsmann, who stepped on Korean soil again through Incheon International Airport, passed the gate with a smile as usual.
It created a chaotic situation. The coach who was eliminated after losing due to a historical poor game was smiling, while Korean soccer fans gathered at the venue and spat out swear words and threw taffy. They even shouted, "Go Home!" and "Fxxking idiot" in English. "Is this soccer?" Some people couldn't control their emotions and complained about the coach.
Spears, a Tottenham Hotspur reporter, said, "As we arrived at Incheon International Airport, Klinsmann faced many 'angry public.' Journalists were also outraged. "It's a lot of people!" she said at an hastily arranged interview location.
Klinsmann was criticized for his so-called "do-it-yourself soccer." He criticized that he does not have specific tactics but relies on players' individual skills.
It was true. The team showed frustrating performance in the first match of its group league, which it won 3-1 against Bahrain, before playing Jordan in the second and third matches against Malaysia, where it ended up with a draw after a series of poor matches.
Needless to say, the tournament is over. The match between Saudi Arabia and Australia in the round of 16 strongest teams lost points first, and was dragged throughout the match. He advanced to the penalty shootout-extension match with dramatic scores in extra time in the second half, and advanced to the next round only with players' individual skills.
"For 13 games, there were some results that I was undefeated in the 13 games that I played while leading the national team for a year before the match against Jordan," Klinsmann said. "There were many good things. There are some positive things, so it is very important to prepare for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers by considering these things," he said, stressing his unbeaten record more than his elimination from the tournament.
Coach Klinsmann called the tournament a success, but Korea gave up 10 goals at the latest event. Despite having Kim Min-jae 28, Bayern Munich, one of the world's best defenders, he still had problems in defense.
"Do-It-Soccer" is also known in the U.K. "Korea has faced criticism for using 'Do-This-For-Me Football' against European stars tactically in the game. 'Heung-Hwan, do this for me, Hee-chan, do this for me' is a criticism that Klinsmann relies on big-name players," he explained, even with an example.
Spears said, "A source close to one of the players told The Athletic, 'This team didn't perform 100% collectively.' 토토사이트 순위
He said, "Korea is composed of players who play for PSG, Tottenham, Bayern Munich, and Wolverhampton. Korea had high expectations for the "South Korea's golden generation," but now the criticism against the Korea Football Association and Klinsmann continues," signaling the current Korean soccer atmosphere.
