Klinsman-ho, who is trying to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years
Klinsmann, who is trying to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years, has begun its journey.
The A-team, led by Jürgen Klinsmann, was convened at a hotel in downtown Seoul on Wednesday afternoon. K-League players who finished their first half of the season were joined by some overseas players. The first round of domestic training sessions will run from Friday to Sunday.
This time, the call-up focuses on physical fitness indoors without outdoor training. On the first day of the training, players warmed up without balls at the hotel's fitness center and exercised according to their physical conditions. Coach Klinsmann reportedly left it up to himself and watched the team's progress from beyond the glass wall. "The players sweated in a very friendly atmosphere without burden at a place with relatively few eyes," a source from the national team said.
A roadmap for the team's victory in the Asian Cup has also been announced. The team will announce the final list of the 26 players who will participate in the Asian Cup at CGV Yongsan on Wednesday. The team will then leave for the United Arab Emirates, the site of its training camp, on March 2, and begin off-season training in Abu Dhabi to adjust to the local environment. Key players from European leagues, including Son Heung-min Tottenham Hotspur, Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton, Kim Min-jae Bayern Munich, and Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain, will join the team in Abu Dhabi and become "complete."
The final showdown has also been revealed. The team will hold its final mock test against Iraq in Abu Dhabi on January 6. The team will head to Qatar on January 10, where the Asian Cup will take place.
The Iraq match is aimed at preparing for the Middle East, which has always been strained. This time, the team also belongs to the same group with Jordan and Bahrain. To win the title, the team must beat Iran and Saudi Arabia. Iraq ranks 63rd in the FIFA rankings, lower than Korea 23rd, but has been a drag on Korea for a long time. The team deserves a chance to take the final mock test.
Klinsmann's goal for this year's event is to win both the first and second Asian Cup championships. Korea's last Asian Cup championship was in 1960 when it was held in Korea. At that time, Korea had a semifinal match with four teams Israel, South Vietnam, and Taiwan that advanced to the finals. Korea won the championship by ranking first in all three games overall. Since then, Korea has established itself as an Asian leader and has made it to the World Cup for 10 consecutive times. However, Korea had no chance to win the Asian Cup championships as much as the Asian Cup. The team's recent best performance was the runner-up at the 2015 Asian Cup in Australia. At the 2019 Asian Cup in the UAE, Korea ended its journey in the quarterfinals after being held back by Qatar.
Having completed the first and second rounds of the second qualifying round for the North Korea-China-U.S. World Cup in November 2026, the team is now looking to the 2024 Asian Cup that will take place in Qatar in January. The Asian Cup is the first test for the team. The team aims to advance to the quarterfinals at the North Korea-U.S. World Cup, and will explore the possibility through the Asian Cup. It is an important test for the coach, too. The Korea Football Association reportedly negotiated with the coach and conveyed that the Asian Cup stage could be an interim test, and the coach agreed with the coach.
Since taking office, Clinton has stirred controversy. He promised to reside in Korea, but was under fire due to his frequent overseas trips. As he was not in Korea, of course, it was difficult to closely watch the K-League. During the period, he appeared on TV programs in the U.S., analyzed Tottenham and Lionel Messi Inter Miami, who had nothing to do with the Korean national team, and attended a draw ceremony for the European Champions League. The announcement of the national team's roster disappeared, too. Two consecutive European matches in September were the climax. During the call-up period, foreign media reported that he threatened to participate in a charity match between his former club Bayern Munich and Chelsea, and asked Welsh captain Aaron Ramsey to exchange his uniform for his son.
Having achieved his first win in six matches, the longest ever among foreign coaches, Klinsmann also decided to go back to the U.S. five days after entering Korea with the slogan "I came because I was told." He even got booed by fans at the introduction of his team in the match against Tunisia. Having chosen "My Way," Klinsmann said that he would not change his style, urging fans to "evaluate themselves based on the results." The result was the Asian Cup. Since his inauguration, Klinsmann has vowed that his goal is to win the Asian Cup and that he is confident.
Fortunately, the mood is good. Korean soccer has entered an unprecedented golden age. Superstars who are also recognized in Europe, including Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, Lee Kang-in, and Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton, are making fantastic plays every weekend at big clubs. Son scored 10 goals in the first half alone, setting a milestone of double-digit goals for the eighth consecutive season in the English Premier League. He was on par with legendary Thierry Henry and Sadio Mane. Now, there are only four players ahead of Son, starting with Wayne Rooney, who has scored double-digit goals for 11 consecutive seasons, Frank Lampard 10 seasons, Sergio Aguero, and Harry Kane nine seasons above. Hwang already scored eight goals, and has rewritten his career high season. After successfully renewing his contract with Wolverhampton, he has become one of the best players in his team.
Lee Kang-in is also recognized by Paris Saint-Germain and has established himself as a key striker. In particular, Lee Kang-in has emerged as a new ace for the Korean national team. Kim Min-jae, who wore a Bayern Munich uniform ahead of this season, is considered the world's best defender beyond Korea. He is also among the best in ransom and has established himself as an indispensable player even in prestigious Bayern. He scored his Bayern debut goal at the match against Stuttgart last time, and has recently been evaluated as a rising monster by the German media. Hwang In-beom Zvezda, Lee Jae-seong Mainz, Cho Kyu-sung Mitwhelan, and Hong Hyun-seok Hent are also playing the same role as Altoran.
As it is the last Asian Cup to be played in Son's heyday, this is considered the right time for him to challenge for the championship. Having been wandering in the beginning, the team changed the mood with "free soccer" that maximizes the freedom of the European team. It has won five consecutive games. During this period, he has shown an explosive scoring ability that has never been seen before, showing promise. Japan, Iran, and Australia are formidable, but as they are second to none in terms of squad, expectations are higher than ever.
Coach Klinsmann announced his first call-up list in Korea on Wednesday. Players who played in the second Asian qualifying match against Singapore and China for the North-China World Cup held in November were called as they were. The only change was the joining of center back Kim Joo-sung FC Seoul, who failed to participate in November. "K-League scoring champion" Joo Min-kyu Ulsan Hyundai, who was expected to replace Hwang Ui-jo Norwich City, who was disqualified from the national team due to illegal filming and whose participation in the Asian Cup is uncertain, was not selected again this time.
Jürgen Klinsmann emphasized continuity and continuity from the A-match in October. "The Qatar Asian Cup will be composed mostly of the existing members. I drew the picture to a certain extent. The closer we get to a major championship, the more important it is to continue. I hope that the eight to 10 players who are the backbone of the team advance to the Asian Cup without any injuries. This framework will not change," Klinsmann said. When comparing the list in October and November, there has been no significant change except for the return of goalie Song Bum-keun and the selection of Park Jin-seop Jeonbuk Hyundai, who can exchange midfielders and center backs.
Coach Klinsmann has shown great trust in the existing members who have won consecutive games since October, and expressed his willingness to recruit them through the Asian Cup as expected. The first batch of players shows this well. He chose 11 players among the K-League players, including Cho Hyun-woo, Kim Young-kwon, Jeong Seung-hyeon, Kim Tae-hwan, Seol Young-woo Ulsan, Moon Seon-min, Kim Jin-su Jeonbuk Hyundai, Lee Ki-je Suwon Samsung, and Lee Soon-min Gwangju FC. Song Bum-keun of the J-League, who finished the season, is on board, and players from European leagues during break time are also joining the team. Germany's Lee Jae-seong and Jung Woo-young Stutgart, Serbia's Hwang In-beom, and Denmark's Cho Kyu-sung will be called in. A total of 16 players will be called in. 파워볼사이트 추천
The final entry will be announced later, and Kim Min-jae, Hwang Hee-chan, Lee Kang-in, Oh Hyun-kyu, Hong Hyun-suk, Kim Seung-gyu, and Park Yong-woo are expected to be selected. As the entry for the Qatar Asian Cup has increased from 23 to 26, additional call-ups are inevitable. Coach Klinsmann did not choose the new pace from the list. As for the K-League, he is now on a break after finishing a long season. If he is not included in the call-up list, it is virtually impossible to select a player considering his physical condition. If Coach Klinsmann fills all the entries, chances are high that he will fill the rest of the seats with young resources playing in Europe. According to reports, some players have reportedly already submitted related documents to the national team.
South Korea was in Group E along with Malaysia, Jordan and Bahrain at the Asian Cup. The quarterfinals, which are likely to face Iran in the match table, are expected to be the first watershed, and they are likely to face Japan in the final.
The city and provincial teams are shaken!
City and provincial teams are vulnerable to "civil complaints." Due to their nature, local government heads and influential figures in the region have a great impact on the operation of the team, and there are many cases where the team is shaken in the process.
Incheon United, the K-League's top affiliate, is also suffering from a series of civil complaints. According to the soccer community on Wednesday, the civil petitioner A filed a complaint against the club since October last year. Some say that A has an "insider" who leaked the board's agenda.
The man reported to the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission that Lim Joong-yong, the head of Incheon's power reinforcement division, exerted pressure to select an underperforming player for the Incheon youth team. The case was dismissed as "no charges." However, the man again filed a complaint against Lim and three other staff members on charges of obstruction of business, saying that his grandson belonging to the Incheon youth team was excluded from the promotion due to inappropriate procedures. He was also cleared of charges.
The team also filed a complaint against Incheon CEO Jeon Hae-soo. The team filed a complaint against him for defamation, saying that his name was mentioned at the team's board of directors. He added the charge of breach of trust, saying that the former CEO paid the lawyer's fees, which had not even been paid to Lim and three other staff members, with the team's money. 메이저사이트
Despite constant accusations, Jeon and Lim are agonizing over their future course of action. Incheon is on the verge of passing away from the leaders who led the team to the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League for the first time since its foundation.
In the past, there were not a few cases where city and provincial teams were shaken by such complaints and accusations. There was a person in charge who was directly or indirectly disadvantaged for failing to select the team's youth team to maintain the region, and there was also a force to accept players who were not good at skills because they were born in the region.
Other clubs are giving unfortunate glances. "When a city or provincial team experiences a period of confusion, there are forces that try to interfere in the management of the team. They try to get involved in the management of the team, but they don't take responsibility. I am worried that Incheon, which should focus on pre-season, will be able to fully prepare for next season," a club official said.
Final A+ACL Challenge
Daejeon Hana Citizen has renewed its contract with head coach Lee Min-sung.
Lee Min-sung took over as Daejeon's new coach in December 2020. Since then, Daejeon has advanced to the playoffs in 2021 as the third place in the K League 2, beating the Jeonnam Dragons and FC Anyang to advance to the promotion and promotion playoffs. However, he was defeated by Gangwon FC in the second round of the promotion playoffs and swallowed his regret at the threshold of promotion.

He won both the first and second games in the promotion playoffs with Gimcheon Sangmu, the 11th-ranked team in the K League 1, achieving his goal of promoting to the K League 1 for the first time in eight years after being demoted in 2015. Manager Lee Min-sung achieved Daejeon's promotion to the K League 1 two years after his appointment.
Daejeon, which challenged the K-League 1 stage for the first time in eight years in the 2023 season, emerged as a sensation team by winning against K-League powerhouses such as FC Seoul, Ulsan Hyundai, and Jeonbuk Hyundai at the beginning of the season with hot offensive football. Even though he was a legendary defender of Korean soccer, Lee played a hot offensive football based on the theory that he had to play with offense to get three points, which was proven by the record. Daejeon scored 54 points, ranking third in the K League 1 scoring list after Ulsan and Seoul.
Daejeon's offensive soccer became a hot topic, and the soccer fever also heated up. Compared to the 2022 season, the average crowd increased more than six times, ranking third among all K-League clubs with 234,094 cumulative spectators and 13,005 average spectators. Last year, the average number of spectators rose 472% from 2,271 to 13,005, signaling a leap forward for the special soccer city. 카지노사이트
After entering the final round, Daejeon confirmed its remaining in the first division early in the 34th round against Suwon FC, and will continue its new challenge in K League 1 next year. Daejeon, which has been stably placed in the first division in its first year of promotion to the K League 1, is now looking at a higher goal. Starting with the renewal of manager Lee Min-sung's contract, he will step up preparations for the 2024 season in earnest.
Director Lee Min-sung said, "It was a very happy year thanks to the fans who gave me hot support. It is regrettable that he succeeded in staying in the first division, but failed to advance to the top split. Daejeon Hana Citizen is a team with a high vision and goal. Now we have to look at higher places and move forward. Next year, we will prepare well to become a stronger and more competitive team aiming to advance to the top split and challenge the Asian Champions League). "I will try to give more fun to my fans with more wins and fun games," he said.
Daejeon will have its first convocation training in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province, on Jan. 2 after a month-long break after the end of the season. From the 10th, he will leave for a winter training camp in Hanoi, Vietnam, and begin to harden for the 2024 season.
Arsenal Champs records for the first time
Arsenal, who returned to the UEFA Champions League for the first time in seven years, succeeded in advancing to the round of 16.
In the 5th Group B match of the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League at Emirates Stadium in London on the 30th , they won a 6-0 victory over Lance (France) and secured the top spot in the group with 12 points, advancing to the round of 16.

Arsenal, who welcomed Lance at home on the day, celebrated their advance to the round of 16 with a "goal firecracker."
Starting with Kai Havertz's first goal in the 13th minute of the first half, Arsenal quickly led 4-0 with consecutive goals by Gabrieu Jeju in the 21st minute, Bukayo Saka in the 23rd minute, and Garbiel Martinelli in the 27th minute.

Players have to experience that and believe we can do it against our opponents. Now you'll know who you can take on in February. I'll wait," he said. 바카라사이트 추천
"I couldn't have dreamed of this," he said, adding, "We got a chance to advance to the finals today. I did it in a convincing way against a really good team. Our team showed a lot of aggression and determination to play from the beginning. Everything happened in the right way in the first half hour. It really helped me win," he said.
In an interview with TNT Sports, he said, "It's really good because the current schedule is hectic." "We're already thinking about playing against Wolverhampton in 72 hours," he said.

He also said, "When I first saw our group, I wanted to win first place. "You can be proud because you've done it," he said. "The manager is already telling us to enjoy a little bit and focus on Saturday's game against Wolverhampton."
"I try to be myself, but if I cross the white line, I will face my opponent. I do my best to be a better person than him. "I do whatever I have to do to win," he said.
Manchester United draw 3-3 away from Galatasaray
Manchester United, which is in a hurry, failed to keep its two-goal lead and failed to escape last place.
Now you have to win the final match and watch the other side of the game, and the opponent is Bayern Munich, the leader of Group A.
Manchester United scored three goals in the 2023/24 UEFA Champions League Group A away match against Galatasaray at Alli Sami Yen Spor Komplak City in Istanbul, Turkiye on the 30th, but they were caught up by the opponent and had a 3-3 draw.
After losing 2-3 to Galatasaray in their last home showdown, Manchester United failed to secure three points by catching up with two goals even though they made it 3-1 in the away game.
Manchester United lost points in this match following a 3-4 upset loss in the fourth away game in Copenhagen. Manchester United remained in fourth place (1 win, 1 draw, 3 losses, 4 points), while Galatasaray remained in second place (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses, 5 points). Manchester United must beat Munich in the final match to save the possibility of advancing to the round of 16 depending on the results of Copenhagen and Galatasaray matches on the other side.
The home team Galatasaray was typical of 4-2-3-1. Goalkeeper Fernando Muslera, Angelino, Can Aihan, Abdulkerrim Bardakshi and Sasha Boei built the defense. Tanguy Ndombele and Lucas Torreira protected the defense. Wilfred Zaha, Dries Mertons, Hakim Ziyech, and Mauro Icardi were on the front line for the second term.
In response to this, the away team Manchester United also came out as the same model. goalkeeper Andre Onana, Luke Shaw, Viktor Lindelof, Harry Maguire and Aaron Wan-Bissaka made up the defense. Sophia Amira Scott McTominay protected the defence. In the second line, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes, Antony, and Rasmus Huirun came out on the front line to score.
It was United's flow at the beginning of the first half. After Garnacho's breakthrough in the 4th minute of the first half, a low cross was connected, and Hoeilun attempted to shoot with one defense. I missed the opportunity as the defensive interference succeeded.
Six minutes later, the net eventually shook. Manchester United, who owned the ball on the right side, continued to connect to the center. Brunu and Huairun exchanged passes, and Garnacho received Brunu's pass from the left and succeeded in attacking the goalkeeper's head with a calm shot. The stadium was filled with boos from the home fans.
Galatasaray also launched a counterattack. In the 14th minute of the first half, a mixed situation continued after a header shot was deflected by Onana in a corner kick situation. Since then, he has been hit by McTominay's arm in the defensive situation, which has led to an appeal against handball fouls. However, after communicating with the VOR (video reading operation room), the referee resumed the game judging that it was a natural situation.
Manchester United scored a huge goal after overcoming the crisis. In the 18th minute, Bruno attempted a powerful right-footed shot from a far-flung attacking camp away from the box, which again shook the net over goalkeeper Musla.
Galatasaray sparked a chase in a short time. In the 28th minute of the first half, Ziyech scored a free kick that caught Onana off guard. Instead of turning over the wall, he turned to the side and kicked it, deceiving Onana's gaze.
Galatasaray's offensive continued. In the 34th minute of the first half, Zaha's shot in the box was blocked by Maguire, and in the subsequent corner kick situation, the cross headed to the goal as it was, but Onana responded and managed to hit it.
In the 42nd minute of the first half, Icardi took over a long pass from the back of the half-line and calmly finished. He shook the net, but Icardi's position was declared offside and the score was canceled. United were able to finish the first half without allowing a tie.
The early part of the second half was the flow of Galatasaray again. In the second half of the second half, Mertons' cross from the right went to Ian, who came up. Ian's shot missed the side of the goal when it didn't hit properly.
After overcoming the crisis, Manchester United scored an additional goal. Wan-Bissaka, who succeeded in penetrating the right side in the 9th minute of the second half, immediately hit a low cross and McTominay pushed it in as he fell to score his third goal. It was poked right between Musla and the near post.
Galatasaray's chase goal again came from Ziyech's left foot. In the 16th minute of the second half, Ziyech sensibly wrapped a free kick from the right side of the box. Onana made a mistake while trying to hit it, and the ball went into the goal as it was.
Galatasaray, riding the flow, finally tied the score. Kerem Akturkolu, who replaced Ziyech's pass from the right side in the 25th minute of the second half, connected with a huge right-footed shot to penetrate Onana. He struck the right goal and balanced it.
Manchester United's offensive was also formidable. In the 39th minute of the second half, Bruno attempted a powerful mid-range shot from the center of the box, which hit the post and swallowed the regret.
The game headed toward the end of the second half, and Faccoon, who also came in as a substitute, also fell to Felistri as Diogo Dalot's cross was deflected off two defenders. Felistri attempted to shoot, but failed to lead to a shot on goal as it deflected into defense. In the end, the two teams shared one point each without deciding the game.
Manchester United have been very weak in their last nine Champions League away games, taking only one win (three draws and five losses). Galatasaray, on the other hand, continued its unbeaten streak with one win and three draws in the last four home games against Europe.
The Manchester Evening News, a local newspaper, gave Onana a two-point worst rating for a fatal error. The rest of the players did not go below six points. Bruno and Garnacho, who scored the first two goals, scored eight points.
Several experts were furious about Onana's worst mistake. Paul Scholes, who is also a club legend, said on British broadcaster TNT Sports, "It can be said that a fatal mistake has been made again. I'm not sure what he was trying to do. It was weak," he said.
He said, "Ohana makes people and the team nervous. He makes simple saves look difficult. We need a goalkeeper specialist who knows this better than we do. But I think he should have hit the near post. I don't think his positioning was good. "Onana is responsible for all three goals," he criticized.
But coach Erik Turnhach defended Onana and said, "He's fine. It is not a personal matter. Of course, individual mistakes in football can make a difference and are responsible for it, but there is always a team responsible for it," he said.
"The team is good. All the players are good and deserve the best for United. They are outstanding players. That's the case with all the squads. We fought well as a team. We win and lose together. You can see this team developing. I've seen a lot of positives from this game,' he added. 안전한 파워볼사이트
Furthermore, Turnhach said, "Some mistakes come out when I play like this which I want my team to play like this. It's fun to watch active, dynamic, and brave play. And we scored a ton of goals. Although we were hungry for a tie, we fought until the end and should have scored on McTominay or Felistri's chances,' he expressed regret.
Meanwhile, Galatasai players were happy to tie the game until the end. Ziyech, who had two goals and one assist on the day, said, "It was an important point today. My colleagues and I did our best. Now the results are in our hands and we want to make it to the tournament," he said.
The final round of the second edition, Group A, will be held in Manchester and Copenhagen on December 13, respectively.
