KLINSMANN “OVERSEAS TRAINING VOLUME ADJUSTMENT, DELIBERATE ABSENCE, NO ROTATION”
“We will adjust the amount of training based on the physical condition of the overseas players, but we will not intentionally rotate or leave them out of the game.”Jürgen Klinsmann, head coach of the South Korean national soccer team, said that he will not deliberately exclude or rotate key overseas players ahead of the team’s two October A matches. Klinsmann’s plan is to prepare with a reduced training load after determining the exact physical condition of the players, and then prepare them to give their 100 percent on the field.On the morning of the 9th, Klinsmann held a press conference at the Paju National Football Center (NFC) in preparation for the squad’s two October A matches, which will take place against Tunisia (29th) at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 13th at 8 p.m. and Vietnam (95th) at the Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 17th at 8 p.m. The team, ranked 26th in the FIFA rankings, will face off against Tunisia (29th) at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 13th.
Klinsmann’s squad, which went winless in its first five matches (three draws and two losses) before registering its first victory in its sixth game with a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia on Sept. 13, will be looking for its first back-to-back wins in the two A-Match series this month. “In the October matches, I will give a lot of time to Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) and Lee Kang-in, who performed well at the Asian Games,” said Klinsmann, who also congratulated Hwang Sun-hong on his Asian Games victory. Here is a one-on-one with Klinsmann: First, congratulations to Sun-Hong Hwang’s U-24 team on winning the Asian Games. It’s a great accomplishment .For this Asian Games, I focused on the players on the A team. Since I took over, I’ve had four call-ups in six to seven months, and I’ve gained a lot of understanding of the players.
During the Asian Games, I saw a lot of stress on the players’ faces. They seemed to be under a lot of pressure and struggling with their military service. I am happy that they performed well. I think the Asian Games gold medal will play a big role in motivating them for the Asian Cup next January.– Key players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham) are not in good physical condition before the October trial. The fatigue of overseas players is unavoidable. They are tired and jet lagged. The only exception is Son Heung-min, who missed the European club competition. The national team is an honor and not for everyone Playing in front of your country is an honor, and you want to play the full 90 minutes. They’ll adjust their training a day or two to make sure they’re giving 100% on the field.
No player wants to take time off from the national team. Son Heung-min is not feeling well and the team is taking care of him. The health of the players is the priority. That’s why it’s important to talk to the players and the club. The Tottenham manager wants Son to come back healthy for the A-match, and it’s important for me to make sure he’s in good shape for the national team .Every team needs its key players to go through the season injury-free in order to perform well. It’s the same for the national team. So we need to be understanding and considerate. We’ll start training today, and we’ll have a chat to find out how he’s feeling, adjust his workload, etc.– Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart) scored eight goals at the Asian Games. Will you increase his offense in this trial?
Praise and congratulations to Jung Woo-young. He had a difficult time in Freiburg last season. His move to Stuttgart was a positive one. He was the top scorer at the Asian Games and I hope he can continue that 스포츠토토 with the A team. It’s important to keep showing good form. What improvements do you need to make before the Asian Cup in Qatar next January? The last six to seven months have been a learning experience for all the coaching staff. We now have a better understanding of Korean soccer. In March, we played as a member of last year’s World Cup, and in June, we had a difficult game due to the aftermath of Son Heung-min’s hernia surgery and Kim Min-jae’s (Munich) basic military training. We conceded a lot of set pieces in the June A match, and we focused on reducing them in the September A match, and it paid off.
Since then, the national team has shown improvement. We know we won’t always face strong teams, but we know how to deal with teams that play a different style of soccer. The team is now facing its final test before the Asian Cup next January .After meeting Coach Chaduri at the last World Cup, I realized that Korea has the potential to win the Asian Cup .I feel more hungry to win the Asian Cup and believe in winning it. I feel more hungry to win the Asian Cup and believe in winning it. “How far along are you in organizing the Asian Cup roster? There are about three months left until the start of the tournament. We are in the process of drawing a picture internally. This is the fourth time the national team has been called up, so now it’s about continuity and continuity in the national team. I hope that the eight to 10 players who will form the backbone of the squad will stay healthy until the Asian Cup. The core will not change.
We know who is a starter and who is a backup, but the door is still open.– On Japan’s chances at the Asian Cup .Personally, I would like to play Japan two or three times a year. The ‘guillotine match’ is the most obvious way to show the difference in quality between the two teams .We have to win a lot of games to get to the final, but I would love to see Japan in the Asian Cup final. We have a lot of respect for Japan, but we also have a lot of world-class players.– On how he plans to utilize Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), who missed the September A-Match. We will give Lee plenty of playing time in this A match. It’s too early to say that Lee is an every-match starter for his club. He needs to compete for a starting spot. He will still be thirsty for playing time. I want to give him recognition for his skills and help him improve. I will give him plenty of time to make the most of this call-up.
