From 23 o'clock on February 6, 2024 to 1 a.m. the next day, the first 1/2 final of the Asian Cup will be played against South Korea and Jordan. An Asian powerhouse, a world ranked 87th underdog. I thought that this game would be one-sided, and the South Korean team would easily advance without having to go through extra time or even penalty shootouts again. As a result, the game was really one-sided, but it fell to the Jordanian team. From the beginning, the Jordanian team frantically grabbed the start, which made the South Korean team miserable. I thought it would only last for a while, but throughout the game, Jordan used sharp attacks and counterattacks to deform the South Korean team's lineup and unable to play what it should have.
Sun Xingmin is in the doldrums, and Li Gangren doesn't have many opportunities. The two stars who were once proud of themselves sank en masse. Other moments were: Lee Jae-sung's header hit the post, and Son Heung-min's shot into the net was blown into the net when it was clearly offside...... In short, luck is not on the side of the Korean team. There are too many bright spots in the Jordanian team, although there is no Mardy in the frontcourt, but the remaining two swordsmen cooperate sharply. Although both goals conceded were low-level mistakes by the South Korean team's defense. But on the Jordanian side, the two strikers worked together to score goals in succession. Tamari, the No. 10 core and known as the "Jordan Messi", staged a good pass, and Nejat took the lead.
As the captain of the team, Son Heung-min accepted an interview on the sidelines after the game, and said sorry continuously, saying that the team ended the Asian Cup in a mistake, which is very regrettable.
Son Heung-min said of Klinsmann in an interview in the mixed mining area: "The coach brought me here to win, I don't know if I can play for the national team in the future, and the coach knows that so many people criticize him. I was disappointed in the semi-finals and it was a shame that the coach was criticized too much. Some people frankly said that Sun Xingmin's speech was a bit hidden and even a little ironic, and hoped that Klinsmann would leave as soon as possible. Obviously expressed dissatisfaction with his coaching level and attitude.
I don't know if this is really the intention, but the dissatisfaction of fans and media with Klinsmann is still relatively obvious. In Klinsmann's post-match interview, he didn't say much about it, but only said that Jordan deserved to win. Before the game, I told my disciples not to lose in the one-on-one session, I will analyze it after the game, and I will also bear the responsibility for losing.
Of course, the reporter threw out a sharp question "failed to lead the team to win the championship, did you resign"?
Klinsmann's statement was even more outrageous: he would discuss it with the Korean Football Association when he returned to China. The team's current goal is to compete in the World Cup and the World Cup, and the team has grown recently and is expected to succeed in the future.
