Son Heung-min is not in good shape, and the whole game is scattered! The South Korean team does not want to lose deliberately, and it really cannot win

The first team in the group will play Japan, and the second team in the group will most likely play Saudi Arabia, how should the South Korean team choose?

For quite some time in the first half, South Korea's loose performance may have convinced the world that "they don't want to win against Jordan, they don't want to touch Japan". But the South Koreans' frantic comeback in the second half, their constant onslaught, and their late equaliser, their performance of still strengthening their attack has responded to the world - they don't want to lose this game, they didn't deliberately avoid Japan!

The South Korean team's crazy counterattack but can't win Jordan not only shows that the Jordanian team has made great progress, but also reflects that the current South Korean team is really a big problem.

With a penalty awarded in less than 10 minutes and the deadlock broken by Son Heung-min, South Korea's start to the game could hard't have been more perfect. But from Son Heung-min's penalty kick to the end of the first half, the game became a performance for the Jordan team, who were playing against South Korea. Cho Hyun-woo, the "beauty blogger" who returned to the main lineup, became the best player in the first half of the Korean team. He had already made two good saves in front of goal before conceding the goal.

In the set-piece defense, Park Yong-woo was not close to others, and he could not leak the ball to the opponent behind him, so he made a "violent headbutt" and pushed into his own goal.

Before the end of the half, the Jordan team counterattacked 2 to 6, and after the first shot was blocked by the South Korean defender, the players who followed up with the follow-up shot on the periphery did not eat the department but played a rebound ball by mistake, which made Zhao Xianyou also helpless.

In the first half, he was beaten by Jordan, which was a little difficult to parry, and finally lost two of them, which can reflect that the South Korean team's control and defense still have a lot of room for improvement. But the bigger problem for South Korea in this game is actually in their attacking line.

The poor offensive play is related to the poor condition of some players and the bad wind on their feet, and Cao Guicheng's shot looks worse than Wu Lei. But if it's just a few players who are not in good shape, then it can be solved by substitutions. But the biggest problem with South Korea's offense is that they have the advantage of individual ability, and they play in a disorderly manner on the court.

In the last game against Bahrain, after 1-1, the South Korean team relied on Lee Gang-in's personal ability to solve the problem. And in the second half of this game, the South Korean team's positional attack was still playing individual ability. There is no doubt that the 1-on-1 ability of Son Heung-min and Lee Gang-in is top-notch in the Asian arena. But Jordan is well prepared for the heads-up style of play of the stars of the South Korean team. But Son Heung-min is not in an ideal state, and he can't support Klinsmann's style of play, which bets on the personal ability of the star. When the core players of the South Korean team can pass one, but not two, three, it is difficult for them to penetrate Jordan's overall defense through individual advantage.

And after taking over for a year, the two games of the Asian Cup were played by the individual abilities of the stars, and they did not show the overall technical and tactical level at all, and Klinsmann's work was obviously a failure!

This South Korean team has the strongest striker in the history of Asian football, as well as the strongest central defender in the history of Asian football. On the cards, this should be the strongest South Korean team in history, and they are indeed the favourites to win the Asian Cup.

However, in recent years, the pace of updating the technical and tactical style of play in international football has been too fast, and Guardiola, who leads the trend of technology and tactics, can still stand at the top, and Klopp, who can keep up with the trend of technology and tactics, has become Guardiola's strongest opponent in recent years. But there are also some famous coaches, because their ideas can't keep up with the trend and other reasons, have gradually moved away from the big teams, and even the top stage. In the more than six years before he stepped down from the United States in November 2016 and took over the South Korean team in February 2023, Klinsmann only made a brief comeback at Hertha Berlin for less than three months.

Due to the long-term lack of coaching experience on the mainstream stage and the failure to update his technical and tactical concepts in a timely manner, the technical and tactical style of play adopted by Klinsmann with the Korean team has completely outdated, and the technical and tactical level of the Korean team in his hands is not at all like a team ranked 23rd in the world.

When the South Korean team has become a team with fighting spirit but no overall play, and the technical and tactical play is like a loose sand, the head coach is the biggest obstacle for the Korean team to hit the Asian Cup championship again!
