South Korea are in the Asian Cup final tonight? Klinsmann's low-key speech is remarkable!
South Korea was widely expected to advance to the final by beating Jordan without extra time. But this is not the case. In major tournaments every year, there will always be teams that win the championship and fall early. And this year, Japan ended with a 2-1 defeat in the 1 4 finals. The Japanese were strong but they didn't score and missed a penalty near the end of the game. The fact that Japan, the best team in Asia, did not even make it to the semi-finals shows that the World Cup is not as easy as people think.
Although South Korea's squad is very strong, with a group of foreign star players such as Son Heung-min and Lee Gang-in, they are also very popular. But in the next two rounds, they were unable to finish the game within 90 minutes. In the quarterfinals, South Korea made the score 1:1 with Cho Gyu-sung's top kick in the 99th minute, and brought the game into extra time, and finally used a penalty shootout. Son Heung-min scored a goal in the 94th minute to drag the game into extra time and take a 1-1 lead. After two rounds of counterattacks, everyone understands that this world series is definitely not as simple as it seems.
When it comes to Jordan, they played 2-2 with South Korea in the group stage and it is clear that they are not at an absolute disadvantage. Although Jordan has never beaten South Korea, however, football is not entirely determined by the situation on the field or the referee's ruling.
Prior to this, Jordan coach Amuta had made such a prediction and clearly wanted to capitalize on a mistake by South Korea to win the game. South Korea is definitely a strong team with a strong will, but they are not invincible either.
Klinsmann's pre-match remarks were very direct: "Although I know it's going to be a tough competition, I'm hopeful for the semi-finals. Everybody is ready and we want to get to the final and win the championship. The more intense the competition, the more the team needs to create an atmosphere of relaxation and relaxation. We don't know if we'll be able to finish the game after 90 minutes, but we'll try to get there. Argentina have also come under a lot of pressure at this World Cup, trying to finish the game under 90 minutes.
Let's be hopeful for Klinsmann's performance! Jurgen Klinsmann had narrowly won the first two rounds thanks to the performances of his star players, and now it's time for him to let his go.
The first semi-final will take place at 11 p.m. on February 6. Will South Korea, now the most powerful, and Iran be able to meet in the final game?
