The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Klinsmann, will play the first round of the evaluation in October against Tunisia at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 13th. After that, the venue will be moved to Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 17th to hold the second match against Vietnam.
The Korea Football Association announced the list of two consecutive A matches in October through a press release on the 2nd. There was no press conference at the time. I couldn't hear a word of Klinsmann's thoughts on the roster decision.
A week later, coach Klinsmann held a press conference with reporters at Paju NFC on the morning of the 9th. Instead of meeting with more than 100 reporters at the same time, like his predecessor Paulo Bento, he divided small reporters into several groups to hold a meeting.
Which player was impressive at the Asian Games.
I heard you were the runner-up at the U20 World Cup before. I also watched the U22 and U24 national teams. I've been observing and talking. Personally, I saw a lot of players in the A national team. I saw how to do it. I've been in the job for six months and have only called up the national team four times. I watched the players as a whole. I saw how he plays in Korea, Europe and other countries. Our timeline is very exciting. I saw the quality of the players. I saw how they played for which team. It is a step-by-step process for the Asian Cup.
There was a military service problem for the players, but when I first came, no one explained it. I learned how important it is. So I'm really happy. When I saw the players, they were under a lot of stress because of that. Now the players will be able to comfortably ease their worries by winning the Asian Games. It will motivate you to win the Asian Cup.
Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, Kim Min-jae's physical condition and management?
The players are coming from Europe. In particular, Kim Min-jae plays until the Champions League. Son Heung-min will not go to the Champions League, so he will have less physical pressure. When I came to the national team, I felt it was a special moment and a privilege as a player. Even if I was a little tired, I wanted to play all the time. It's very motivating. It was my vacation to go to the national team. Of course, I know the burden on the players. Some players may be tired, but when they do, they all want to play.
Until then, I had experimented with new players and watched them. There is only one call-up left before the World Cup qualifiers in November. So I have to think about how to improve the team now. Neither Kim Min-jae nor Son Heung-min will want to reduce their playing time. If you are a member of the national team, yes. It goes back and forth between Europe and the United States. It is familiar to Kim Min-jae and Son Heung-min. He will be able to participate in the national team game if he takes two to three days off.
