Bombarding the Korean Women's Football League, Colin Bell caused controversy again
After the 2-1 defeat to the Philippine women's football team, South Korean women's football coach Colin Bell once again became the focus of Korean media attention in his post-match press conference, saying: "The reason for the defeat of the Korean women's football team today is due to the fragile league system. Why can't the WK League provide a platform for 16- and 17-year-old players to play? Why does it always have to give way to veterans? If the Korean Women's Football League does not make systematic changes, then after 2026, the Korean women's football team will be completely underdog. In fact, Bale's words reflect the current state of the Korean women's football team, and of course this kind of remarks have caused another controversy in Korean football.
Before the 2019 East Asian Cup, Bale officially coached the South Korean women's football team. After arriving, young players such as Choo Hyo-joo, Cheon Jia-lan, Lee Eun-young, Kathy Fell, Won Chae-eun, Kwon Woo-jung and other young players were promoted, and 22-year-old Ko Rou-na and 27-year-old goalkeeper Choi Ye-seok were given the opportunity to play in last night's game. But Bell believes that just his own efforts have not changed substantially for the development of the Korean women's football team, because in the five years he has led the Korean women's football team, the Korean women's football team still needs Kim Jung-mi, Zhao Zhaoxian, Zhang Seqi, Ji Xiaoran, Kim Hye-ri, Lee Yong-joo, Veterans like Lee Kim Min, especially Kim Jung-mi's thunderous move in the goalkeeper position, and the overall age of the backline, reflect the lack of talent selection mechanism of the South Korean women's football team, especially the league does not provide a platform for young players to display, and most of them are occupied by veterans, which is not conducive to the development of young people. Bale has repeatedly criticized the Korean Women's Football League, which has also caused dissatisfaction among the coaches of the South Korean women's football team, who generally believe that Bale is shirking the responsibility for "the team's poor record".
At the end of 2024, Colin Bell will also complete his entire mission to coach the South Korean women's football team, except for the runner-up in the Asian Cup, there are no major results, although he tried his best, but the result is indeed to blame. In any case, from the perspective of the development of women's football in South Korea, any "advice" should be listened to, and whether or not to accept it should also take into account the reality of culture and other realities. After all, the club thinks about how to win, and using young people is risky, and no one will risk sacrificing performance to train newcomers.
Of course, there is also a quote from Bale that is worth reflecting on: "It doesn't matter if our players win or lose, that's very wrong. Failure, to reflect, to regret, not to indifferent attitude. This is because the Korean Women's Football League does not have a 'reward and punishment system', and if relegation and relegation were introduced, the outcome would be very different. Now it seems that Bale's words are not unreasonable, and the reform of the South Korean women's football team has entered the "deep water area", and it may be time to be flexible.
is about to arrive in the team, Bai Shangxun and Zheng Xiangbin will join the National Olympic team
Although the club where Yang Hyun-jun and Kim Ji-su "refused to let go" made coach Hwang Sun-hong, who was preparing for the U23 Asian Cup, "very hurt", not all the bad news followed.
On April 9, FC Seoul officially informed the coach of the national Olympic team Huang Sunhong that midfielder Baek Sang-hoon, who had missed domestic training due to a knee injury, would take flight EK0325 to Dubai tonight to meet with the national Olympic team, and Minnesota United Club also officially informed the South Korean Olympic team that Zheng Xiangbin will fly directly to Doha, Qatar on April 15 to meet with the national Olympic team. After the absence of the wing warrior and the defensive iron gate, the midfield commander and the "fast horse" striker can be in place as scheduled, which still makes Huang Shanhong a lot easier. Right now, the team's first goal is to play their first game against the UAE and get off to a good start for the Paris Olympics.
Bayern's Champions League away game against Arsenal Kim Min-jae will have a chance
Despite the controversy following the defeat to Heidenheim, Kim could still be in the running for Arsenal. According to a number of German media reports, Bayern Munich has given coach Tuchel an "ultimatum", if he loses to Arsenal, the team will immediately dismiss him, and the legendary star Klose will temporarily act as Bayern manager. As such, Tuchel will have to come up with his strongest squad against Arsenal and secure at least one draw from London.
At the back, controversial Upamecano and Kim are both likely to be dropped, but given Kim's ability to compete and Dier coming from the Premier League, Tuchel is likely to give Kim and De Ligt a chance to pair up in the hope of stopping Arsenal's attack with their rivalry. If Kim is available for this game, will he be able to extend Tuchel's time in charge at Bayern? At least Tuchel wants to part ways "decently" at the end of the season rather than be swept away.
