Klinsmann appeared at a press conference ahead of an official training session held at the Al Agla Training Center in Doha, Qatar on the 17th (Korea Standard Time). Korea defeated Bahrain 3-1 in the first Group E match of the Qatar Asian Cup on the 15th. Hwang In-beom’s first goal and Lee Kang-in’s multi-goal were the first to win the match. Now, the team is preparing for the second match against Jordan on the 20th.
“I personally watched the game (against Jordan-Malaysia). We played on the same day as each other on Saturday, and I went to the stadium with Coach Herzog to watch the game. They are a good team. I watched Saudi Arabia play yesterday (16th). Every game is difficult. There is no easy game. You have to be 100% ready to play against a different style of team. It could be a very difficult game against Jordan. But I have high expectations, and I respect them a lot.”
Korea won the first match. We lost some things. The referee’s inconsistent decision stopped the flow. The match was handled by Chinese referees. Mainly refereeing Marning was Zufei, Zhang Zheng (vice referee) and Fu Ming (video-read referee). The preliminary and preliminary judges were Japanese national Yusuke Araki and Takagi Takumi. 토토사이트 순위
Korea received a whopping five yellow cards on the day. Park Yong-woo in the 9th minute of the first half, Kim Min-jae in the 13th minute of the first half, and Lee Ki-je in the 28th minute of the first half. Three yellow cards were issued in the first half alone. The same was true in the second half. Cho Kyu-sung and Son Heung-min in the 16th minute of the second half were shown yellow cards in succession for Korea. Bahrain, on the other hand, was not given a warning even for rough tackles. Hwang In-beom and Son Heung-min were knocked out due to rough fouls by their opponents, but the referee declared “no problem.”
In the process, Lee’s performance became controversial. Notably, as Lee was replaced in the seventh minute of the second half, voices we re raised that Lee might have been replaced with a reprimand. Klinsmann said, “No. The first game is difficult for everyone. We could not have predicted the obvious yellow card situation. We have to be cautious. Lee and Kim had to do so. If they get yellow cards again, they become red cards. We don’t want to be sent off. Some players may get off to a good start, or they may not. No problem. We have to get our rhythm right. Of course, the fact that we gave so many yellow cards so quickly was not necessary. I said in a press conference after the game that it made it tricky. I took out Lee so that I would not get the second yellow card. We handled it safely because there was a difference between the umpires.”
“He knows we rely on him. No problem. I mean the players have a little difference in the first game. It’s completely normal, and every training in every game starts in a whole new chapter. The game against Jordan has nothing to do with the game against Bahrain. It’s already gone. In tournaments, not looking back is really important. It’s not important to criticize yourself and say I could have done better. What matters is the next game. Lee Ki-je is the best professional player. He has a very good concentration. We have to prepare for the game against Jordan. The next challenge is a difficult one,” he added.
