The national team conducted training and recovery training in preparation for the quarterfinals the next day at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar. The quarterfinals against Australia are scheduled for the 2nd of next month.
Coach Klinsmann was asked about the ‘hotel reservation’ comment in an interview with reporters before training. He had previously boasted about his victory to Korean reporters, saying, “You can book a hotel until the finals.”
In response, the reporters asked, “I can’t cancel my hotel reservation, so what should I do if I don’t make it to the finals?” Coach Klinsmann responded, “I will move forward positively to achieve my final goal.”
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 again.”
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 about 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 about 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 behind 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 about the missed chances and try to score a goal quickly. I hope we can score against Australia as well.”
Korea will clash with Australia after a two-day break. Compared to Australia, where players rest for four days before playing, their stamina is depleted.
You also need to keep rotation in mind. Coach Klinsmann said, “I will check the players’ condition and think about 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 against Australia.” lost.
