Qatar Asian Cup
In the early morning of February 7, Beijing time, the Qatar Asian Cup once again broke out a shocking upset! South Korea, the favourites to win the Asian Cup, lost 0-2 to little-known dark horse Jordan in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup. After Japan's 1-4 finals, South Korea fell out of the final again.
The two teams with the loudest call to win the Asian Cup and the most expensive team missed the championship of this Asian Cup at the same time, which is undoubtedly the collapse of Asian football! So will the traditional pattern of Asian football be broken? It will take time for West Asian football to take this Asian Cup as an opportunity to form a trend of East Asian football.
In the battle of South Korea, the attacking group of the South Korean team, led by Tottenham star Son Heung-min, only had 7 shots on goal and 0 shots on target, while the Jordan team had as many as 17 shots on goal and 7 shots on target. This was an unexpected result. After all, the South Korean team's attacking line is at the level of the Champions League. A mere Jordanian backline will make South Korea's attack completely dumb.
The Jordanian team's tough stance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends left the South Koreans at a loss. And the head coach of the South Korean team is Klinsmann, a German superstar who was known as the golden bomber in the past. Born as a striker, it stands to reason that he must have a lot of experience in the training of the shooting link. But in the face of real data, all illusions are so illusory.
Compared with the helplessness of German Jurgen Klinsmann, Jordan coach Almutadan's tactical arrangement in this game was very successful. He took Moussa Tamari and Yazan's bulldozer attacking power up front.
In the 53rd minute, Tamari made a successful steal in the middle of Park Yongyu, quickly dribbled the ball in the middle and divided it into the right gap, and Nijmat quickly inserted it and scored with a pick-and-shoot goal.
In the 66th minute, Jordan scored again. Tamari dribbled the ball down the right flank, then cut inside to the middle, got past two South Korean players, flashed an angle and fired into the bottom left corner of the goal, and finally Jordan won 2-0 against South Korea. Historic breakthrough in the final of this Asian Cup. The most important factor for the Jordanian team to bring down the Taiji Tigers South Korea is their tough physical confrontation and hard power. And the South Koreans are powerless in front of the tall Jordanian team. The biggest contributor to Jordan's win in this game was Tamari. Messi, who is said to be unemployed in Jordan, almost single-handedly turned the South Korean team's backline upside down.
With South Korea reaching the semi-finals of this Asian Cup, Klinsmann will inevitably suffer criticism from within South Korea. After the game, Klinsmann also gave a brief summary of the gameAnd made a sensational statement with a smile: as the head coach, he will definitely be responsible for the loss, but he has no plans to resign and continue to prepare for the World Preliminary Tournament. There is no doubt that although Klinsmann said that he was responsible for the South Korean team's failure to participate in the final, his unwillingness to take the initiative to resign from such a poor performance of the Korean team was the most uproaring thing for South Korea.
