Tomorrow night's quarterfinals against Australia, Klinsmann smiled and provoked his opponent
Tomorrow night, South Korea will face Australia in the quarterfinals at the Janoub Stadium in Doha, Qatar. On the afternoon of February 1, the pre-match press conference between the two sides was held at the main media center in Doha, Qatar. South Korea coach Jurgen Klinsmann brought center forward Cho Gyu-sung to the press conference this time, which can also be seen that Klinsmann is very satisfied with Cho Gyu-sung's performance in the last round. Speaking at the press conference, Klinsmann said: "It's a game to look forward to, Australia are in very good form and tomorrow is going to be tough for us. Australia have their own unique skills on counter-attacks and set-pieces, so defensively we need to be well prepared. Of course, we have our strengths and we believe the players will beat us in what we are good at. I don't think about who the semi-final opponent is, because in my opinion, we have to focus on the "next match", and only after the victory can we be qualified to talk about the future opponent. ”
At this press conference, there was also a small episode. According to Australian journalists, there is a saying that "the weakness of the South Korean team is you, Mr. Klinsmann, what do you think about this." Faced with such a provocative question, Klinsmann replied with a smile: "If you have an opinion about me, you can say it directly, of course, I don't care about your provocation." There was also laughter. Of course, this kind of psychological warfare is an indispensable part of the game, and such a provocation by the Australian media can only further stimulate the fighting spirit of the South Korean team!
Yoon Joo-tae returns to Gyeongnam FC
After the change of coach, Gyeongnam FC still saw the idea of the new coach Park Dong-hyuk, that is, to use limited funds to recruit powerful veterans. On February 1, Gyeongnam FC announced the signing of Ansan's veteran Yoon Joo Tae, which is also Yoon Joo-tae's return to the Gyeongnam FC jersey after 3 years. Yoon Joo-tae was one of South Korea's first overseas players before returning to FC Seoul in 2014 and playing for the team for nearly seven years. In the 2021 season, he left Seoul to join Gyeongnam FC, and in the 2023 season, he joined Ansan Greeners. As a winger-style "center", Yoon Joo-tae is actually good at breaking through, not grabbing points. Because of this, Park Dong-hyuk wants to put it back in the right position and put it to use, so that he can maximize his abilities. Returning to Gyeongnam FC after 3 years, can Yoon Joo-tae and Coach Park Dong-hyuk create brilliance together?
Competing for Xue Yingyou, Hwang In-beom's parent team joined the battle
The news that Xue Yingyou was favored by a Champions League-level club was exposed before the Hansha battle, which gave Xue Yingyou enough motivation to perform to a certain extent. In the battle with Saudi Arabia, Xue Yingyou's left side basically did not give the opponent any chance, resulting in the paralysis of the opponent's side, and in the front court, Xue Yingyou also participated in the attack many times, once the header was saved, and one assisted his teammate's header to hit the crossbar, all showing his talent. And after South Korea eliminated Saudi Arabia, the club finally couldn't sit still. According to a number of Korean media, Huang In-beom's parent team, the team director of Serbian Premier League powerhouse Red Star Belgrade, Marin, has flown to Doha to watch the match between the South Korean team and the Australian team. With West Ham not making a move, will Red Star Belgrade be 'on the first foot'?
