Perhaps because there is no pressure to qualify, the South Korean team is not in a hurry to choose a new coach, and their Football Association has made it clear that the new head coach of the South Korean team will not be officially announced until May. You must know that at the beginning of June, the group stage of the last two world preliminaries round of 36 will officially start, that is to say, the new coach of the South Korean team will lead the team to play in the world preliminaries not long after he takes office.
The World Preliminary Tournament has been played so far, and there is really no pressure on the South Korean team to advance to the round of 18, and there is no need to worry that the team will not be able to qualify if the coach is changed so late, and it is just right to use the two World Preliminary Matches in June to test the team's new coach.
Since the South Korean team basically locked a promotion place, then only the last promotion place is left in Group C, and in the end, this place will be generated between the national football team and the Thai team, there will always be a team that will advance, and there will be a team that will be eliminated, this is the cruelty of competitive sports, and the eliminated team will have to wait for four years.
According to the schedule, the national football team will also have a head-to-head match with the Thai team, which is scheduled for June 6, 2024, and the national football team is the home team and the Thai team is the away team (they have to travel 5,000 kilometers to Shenyang to play the game). Compared with the meeting in November last year, the national football team and the Thai team have changed different coaches, among which the Thai team is indeed getting better and better under the leadership of the new coach Ishii Masatada, and the Japanese coach is indeed something. And the words of the head coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, he led the team to play only two games, and the opponents in those two games were the weaker Singapore team, so it is not possible to see what Ivan's strength is, the real test of Ivan may be the next on-site "fighting method" with the head coach of the Thai team, Ishii Masatada, to see if Ivan can withstand the pressure and lead the national football team to defeat the Thai team, and take all three points to advance!
