International Football Players’ Rigorous Schedule: From World Cup Qualifiers to Club Matches

2023-11-24 09:35:41

Without even a moment to catch my breath… The main ship of the Klinsmann sails overseas.

[앵커]

Klinsmann’s key players, who returned to Europe following playing two World Cup qualifying games in North and Central America, will immediately play for their team.

They need time to adjust to the time difference, but it looks like there is no time to rest due to the circumstances of each team.

Despite the long journey from China to Korea and Paris, France, and insufficient rest, Lee Kang-in’s face is full of smiles as he goes to team training.

The opponent that PSG’s team will face this time is AS Monaco, which is ranked 3rd in the league.

The difference in points is only 3 points, so the top rankings may change depending on the results of this game.

Since this is a game in which he has no choice but to show up at full strength, coach Luis Enrique is likely to let Lee Kang-in play at least for a while.

AS Monaco has Japanese national team player Minamino at its core, so a mini-Korea-Japan match might unfold.

Kim Min-jae of Bayern Munich, who led the two international matches without conceding a goal, will play in the away match once morest Cologne in the German Bundesliga.

This is a game that the team must win in order to rise to the top of the league.

Kim Min-jae has played full-time in 17 consecutive games including the national team schedule, causing controversy over overuse, but it is unlikely that he will rest due to injuries to replacement players.

“This is already the second time we are away on Friday. Alphonso Davis and Minjae Kim have returned from very far away. It is a regrettable schedule.”

Son Heung-min, who scored three goals in the last two consecutive international matches, will wear the Tottenham captain’s armband and face Aston Villa at home.

The team, which was leading the league but suffered consecutive losses due to injuries to key players, desperately needs a win to turn things around.

Scotland’s Celtic’s Oh Hyun-gyu attempts to score consecutive goals once morest Motherwell, and EPL Wolverhampton’s Hwang Hee-chan has an away game once morest Fulham in the early morning of the 28th.
