Coach Klinsmann explained, “You can’t ignore what ifs. It will be different for each coach, but everyone who was with me during my playing career emphasized that we need to set the ultimate goal. Coach Beckenpower did the same.”

Director Klinsmann being interviewed by reporters. Nocut News Coach Klinsmann attempted an unconventional change in the round of 16. They came up with a three-back tactic instead of the traditional four-back. Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Kim Young-kwon, and Jeong Seung-hyeon (Ulsan HD) teamed up in central defense.
Coach Klinsmann explained the reason for implementing the three-back strategy, saying, “I think as a manager, you have to have multiple cards,” and “We conceded goals early in the second half, so a change was needed, so we switched back to four backs to be more aggressive.” He continued, “The three-back was positive, and I think we can use it once more.”
However, fullback Kim Jin-su (Jeonbuk Hyundai), who recovered from injury, did not play, raising questions. In response, Coach Klinsmann explained, “Jinsu Kim is going through team training and I am happy regarding it. It took a long time, and there is no problem with his playing time. He will be given a lot of playing time in the future, so we will think regarding how to utilize it.”
Substitute Cho Kyu-seong (Midtjylland) finally broke the silence and scored the tying goal just before the end of the second half when the team was down 0-1. He scored no points in three group stage games, but was able to ease the pressure with his performance today.
Coach Klinsmann said, “I said I would score even if I didn’t start,” and added, “I’m also a striker, so I need to score to be able to breathe.” He said, “We need to forget regarding the missed chances and try to score a goal quickly. I hope we can score once morest Australia as well.”
Korea will face Australia following a two-day break. Compared to Australia, where players play following resting for four days, their stamina is depleted.
You also need to keep rotation in mind. Coach Klinsmann said, “I will check the players’ condition and think regarding what changes to make.”
He continued, “I don’t think it will be a big problem since all the players play every three days. As a professional, I am familiar with fatigue and pain,” and added, “I need to get it checked for sure. I will prepare well for the game once morest Australia.” lost.
