South Korea is out of the tournament, where did it lose?
.
On February 7, the semifinals of the Asian Cup football match broke out the biggest upset, and the small West Asian country Jordan defeated the favorite South Korea 2-0, and the team entered the Asian Cup final for the first time in history. South Korea set a series of humiliating records: no shots on target, no goals scored, the first loss to Jordan in the team's history, and the 64-year history of not winning the Asian Cup continues.
Jordan is a new Asian team, South Korea is an old powerhouse, and the strength of the two teams is not at the same level at all. In the latest edition of the FIFA World Rankings, South Korea is ranked 23rd, Jordan is ranked 87th and Asia is 13th. In terms of value, the South Korean team is as high as 190 million euros, and the Jordanian team is only 3.5 million euros. By all accounts, the South Korean team had the advantage but lost in disgrace. Where exactly did the South Korean team lose?
The first is that the physical advantage is not there. The biggest feature of South Korea is that it has a lot of physical strength and is active in running. In the last round against the Australian team, they used their abundant physical strength to drag down their opponents. After two days, he faced the Jordan team, his physical strength had not yet recovered, and his physical exertion was too great before, and he felt that the whole team was fatigued as a whole, and he was in a state of sleepwalking as a whole, making too many mistakes, shooting off target, running inactively, and his eyes were defensive, and he couldn't keep up with the opponent's rhythm at all. The Jordanian team learned from the long skills of the South Koreans, and the South Koreans also experienced the feeling of losing an Australian game.
The second is that the fame of the South Korean team is greater than the strength. In this competition, the Korean team has a group of players who play in first-class European teams such as Son Heung-min, Lee Gang-in, Kim Min-jae, and Hwang Hee-chan, and is known as the strongest Korean team in history. In the six matches played, South Korea have never won a single match in 90 minutes, except for a 3-1 win over Bahrain on their debut. With 10 goals conceded in six games, an average of 1.6 goals per game, such a weak defence is far from what a strong team requires. To put it mildly, the South Korean team was quite lucky to be able to get past Saudi Arabia and Australia. The dismal record has lifted the dark cover for South Korean football, and it is time for South Korean football to consider its position in Asian football.
The third is the lack of sportsmanship on the Korean team. In the group stage, South Korea drew 3-3 with Malaysia, a super underdog, in order to avoid Japan. Such a lack of sportsmanship not only made the team lose its momentum, but also suffered from moral flaws and was condemned by words, which doomed the team to failure. The most famous example of this kind of behavior in history was in the 1982 World Cup, when West Germany and Austria teamed up to polish the ball and "do" the Algerian team. European champions West Germany did their best but lost to European side Italy in the final. South Korea's behavior this time is the same as that of West Germany, and the elimination in the semi-finals is the best retribution. If such a South Korean team wins the Asian Cup, this is the biggest insult to Asian football!
