In the early morning of January 31, in the 1/8 finals of the Asian Cup, South Korea played against Saudi Arabia, and the result became the focus of the battle. Because of the fighting style between Mancini and Klinsmann, there is quite a lot of attention. Before the game, both coaches praised the opponent's stronger ability.
In this knockout match, at the moment when Cho Gyu-sung scored a goal-equalizing goal with a header at the last moment, King Son Heung-min cried with joy, hugged his teammates to celebrate, and thanked his teammates for their efforts. Yes, it's too thrilling, otherwise the Korean team will go home directly at the end of 90 minutes. Fans are dissatisfied with Klinsmann's coaching level, so that the Asian king Son Xingmin has just started to play in the center forward position, isolated, and not suitable for such a tactical system at all. Klinsmann's promotion was a fluke. Klinsmann is once again relying on his stars to renew his life.
You must know that in this event, the South Korean team sent the strongest lineup, and even the main players who stayed abroad returned to fight, changing the habit of basically participating by local players in previous sessions. With the stars of the five major European leagues Li Gangren and Son Xingmin, the result was extremely awkward. After the game, Klinsmann said frankly that everyone was not familiar with the three-back formation, and it was only by changing back to the back four that he played at the best level, and thanked everyone for persevering until the end.
For this reason, the famous commentators Huang Jianxiang and Zhan Jun all made sharp comments, especially Huang Jianxiang made the following outlook before the game.
"Two coaches meet in the Asian Cup...... Mancini's ability and results are obviously better than Klinsmann's, but now Klinsmann's team strength is definitely higher than Mancini's. ”
After the game, Huang Jianxiang said frankly that the game was too exciting, there were no losers on both sides, and a wonderful game was presented for everyone. Then when it came to the tactical level, Mancini took the lead and caught the South Korean team off guard with a back three. After that, Klinsmann changed formation, Son Heung-min retreated, and the team took advantage of the high altitude to equalize.
Zhan Jun commented sharply: "The South Korean team lacks a way to attack head-on, but the side and rib crosses that break the dense defense are very distinctive." ”
