Final match against Jordan on the 7th at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium on the 5th in the semifinals. Instead of the fatigue of two consecutive extensions, the final training was held in a bright atmosphere with the entire team.
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jürgen Klinsmann (Germany), completed its final training in a bright atmosphere in preparation for the semifinals of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup against Jordan.
Klinsmann will play in the Asian Cup semifinals against Jordan at 00:00 (Korean time) on the 7th at Ahmed Bin Ali Stadium in Al Rayyan, Qatar.
This is my second time meeting Jordan in this tournament. In the second match of Group E of the group stage on the 20th of last month, the team ended in a 2-2 draw.
Prior to this, Klinsmann conducted official pre-game training at Al Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar at 10pm on the 4th.
Only 15 minutes were released to the media. The players could only be seen doing light running followed by agility training.
The players showed up at the training ground in groups of twos and threes, led by Moon Seon-min (Jeonbuk Hyundai). Everyone had bright expressions.
Continuing from the previous day, today was also a full training session. There were no players left out due to injury, and even Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who was unable to play against Jordan due to accumulated warnings, was present.
In particular, Minjae Kim gave strength to Klinsmann by repeatedly shouting 'Cho~' to liven up the atmosphere at the training ground.
As before, after a short speech by Coach Klinsmann, full-scale training began.
Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and others brightly greeted reporters by saying “Hello” during a warm-up run.
The physical burden of playing against Saudi Arabia in the round of 16 (4-2 win in penalty shootout) and against Australia in the quarterfinals (win 2-1) in succession to overtime was not evident.
Klinsmann said in an official pre-game press conference held at the Main Media Center (MMC) in Doha, Qatar, at 6 p.m. on this day, “A difficult game is expected tomorrow, but we have a goal and we are thirsty and hungry. If you show what you have prepared well, you will get good results. “I will advance to the finals and achieve my desired goal,” he said. 19가이드03
