Six matches of the Asian Cup were played, and none of them started their rotation. Son Heung-min (Tottenham) was not allowed to leave the ground for a single minute, and five players failed to leave the ground for even a single minute. Manager Klinsmann's appointment as a player failed in a disastrous manner. 토토
The South Korean national team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, was defeated 0-2 in the semifinals against Jordan at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup at Ahmad Bin Ali Stadium in Alayan, Qatar, on the 7th (Korea time). The absence of tactics and frequent mistakes of players are cited as major losers, but the exhaustion of the stamina of the "main members" was also an indispensable issue.
Korea played a total of six matches from the first group match on June 15 to the match against Jordan on June 7. This means that Korea played one match every four days. Moreover, in the round of 16 and the quarterfinals, a neck-and-neck race of 120 minutes overtime was held. In most cases, a coach would have had to endure a rough schedule considering players' physical strength as the first priority.
However, Klinsmann only used the "players that he used to play" in this year's event. In fact, 16 of the 26 players played at least once in this year's event. This might have been possible due to special reasons such as dropping out of Kim Seung-gyu (Al Shabaab) and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) returning from injury.
The same applies to all players. Twenty-one players have stepped on the ground. Kim Jin-soo, Park Jin-seop (Jeonbuk Hyundai), Yang Hyun-joon and Oh Hyun-kyu (Celtic Hyundai), who only played as substitute players, did not even get a proper opportunity. They played only 15 minutes for Kim Jin-soo, 27 minutes for Park Jin-seop, 44 minutes for Yang Hyun-joon and 51 minutes for Oh Hyun-kyu. Five players including Lee Soon-min (Gwangju), Kim Joo-sung (Seoul), Kim Ji-soo (Brentford), Moon Seon-min and Song Bum-keun (Jeonbuk Hyundai) were on the plane after watching their teammates play throughout the entire competition without playing a single game.
On the other hand, Son played full-time in all six matches. Son made a miracle in the quarterfinal against Australia, but he looked clearly exhausted in the match against Jordan. The same applied to Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), Hwang In-beom (Zvezda), and Seol Young-woo (Ulsan HD).
Korea was selected as the most promising candidate for the Asian Cup. If so, the World Cup should have arranged the physical strength of key players by rotating them in consideration of the tournament. The fact that as many as five players did not play in a single match clearly shows that Coach Klinsmann made a mistake in forming the team. Japan, which was another favorite to win the championship, had all 23 field players except the goalkeeper, and 20 of the 23 players started the tournament. Despite being hamstrung by Iran in the quarterfinals, the team was able to play the tournament with its best performance.
Kim Jin-su, who remained at left wing-back for the past 10 years, shed tears after the semifinal match. In front of the reporters, he said, "I have never been sick since the match against Malaysia. Many people misunderstood me a lot and contacted me to ask if I was sick. (By the way), I was not sick after the match against Malaysia. I was just as sick today as I was today."
Unfortunately, the same applies to Korean soccer fans. Kim Jin-su was injured before the opening game, but returned to the mound in the third group match against Malaysia. Playing as a substitute in the 75th minute of the second half when the team was losing 1-2, Kim displayed strong overlapping and sharp crosses, and the mood instantly turned around. These performances demonstrated why he has firmly maintained his position as the left wingback of the national team for the past decade.
However, Kim Jin-soo has not played since then. Everyone thought it was the aftermath of the injury, but it was not true. At the Asian Cup, Klinsmann showed a tendency to rely too much on starting pitchers. As a result, key players became exhausted, and players who were not chosen had no choice but to watch their teammates play. To Klinsmann, 26 players were a luxury.
