It's just three things! The South Korean team is finally out of the Asian Cup! If you watch the whole game, you will have a strong sense that this is definitely not an upset, not a weak victory over the strong, in this game, the Jordanian team in the individual and as a whole, really crushed the South Korean team.
There are two main contributors to them, one is the head coach Almota, the former head coach of the Moroccan team, fans and friends should know that Moroccan football is very pure, and the results in recent years have been excellent. And another big hero is naturally Tamari, who wears the No. 10 shirt, this player is 26 years old this year and is the main force of the Montpellier team in the French league, you have to think about a Jordanian player who can play the core attack in the five major leagues, how strong is this ability?
In this game, he was almost alone, bursting through the entire defense of the South Korean team, acting like Maradona. The South Korean team itself is really picking opponents, and the ultimate punishment is self-inflicted, because the South Korean team is the top team in Asia, although they want to pick opponents and want to avoid Japan, but they don't dare to do it too directly, and they still have to score some points in every game.
Therefore, although the South Korean team is picking opponents, the main players have not received any rest, especially in the third game of the group stage against Malaysia, Son Heung-min and Lee Gang-in still played the whole game, these two attacking lines, the players who need the most vitality and physical security, did not rest in the six games of the Asian Cup, which is definitely a mistake in Klinsmann's arrangement and strategy.
So although they ended up avoiding Japan and Iran, they did get into the semi-zone with Saudi Arabia and Australia, and the difficulty coefficient did not decrease much. After playing two games with 120 minutes of extra time, the South Korean team in the semi-finals has run out of ammunition and exhausted their physical strength against the Jordan team in this game, and they lost the biggest advantage of Korean football, which is physical and physical confrontation.
It was extremely ugly to be crushed by the opponent in the whole game, and Klinsmann must be mainly responsible. Looking back at the Jordan team, which has become the number one dark horse in this Asian Cup, one of the most worrying things is that the fans have begun to deify the Jordan team again, thinking that Chinese football should learn from the Jordanian team.
Here to tell you to pour a basin of cold water to calm down, Jordanian football has not entered the World Preliminary Tournament for two consecutive years in the past ten years, two consecutive Asian Cups in the round of 12, one group exit and one quarterfinal were eliminated by the Vietnamese team, the overall result is really not outstanding, in the whole 2023 they played ten international matches and lost seven games, the worst of which was 0-6 by the Norwegian team.
In the last warm-up game before the start of the Asian Cup, they lost 1-6 to the Japanese team, and such a Jordanian team was not expected by everyone at all. In this Asian Cup, the Jordan team is really a strong luck guard, they are in the same group stage as the South Korean team in the selection of opponents to avoid the Japanese team, and they do not have much psychological burden as a mid-table team.
In the third game of the group stage against Bahrain, they made a big rotation and the main team was rested, losing to Bahrain to finish third in the group, avoiding Japan and Saudi Arabia and choosing Iraq. Originally, they were likely to be out of the game against Iraq, but when the team was down 1-2 and there was little time left, the referee sent off the Iraqi team's number one center forward in a very controversial way because of the celebration, which led to the final reversal of the Jordanian team.
In the quarter-finals, Jordan met Tajikistan, the weakest of the quarter-finals, and managed to get through. And in the semi-finals, they happened to meet the South Korean team, which had just finished two overtime games, so if a team wants to succeed, in addition to its own strength, good luck cannot be ignored.
There is no way to learn from the success of the Jordanian team, and Chinese football still has to play steadily and steadily, don't think about copying other people's shortcuts and shortcuts.
