Director Klinsmann, wearing comfortable sportswear and carrying a backpack, enters the arrival hall.
Coach Klinsmann, with his signature smile looking at the crowd of reporters, first explained why he quickly changed his plan to stay in Europe longer.
[위르겐 클린스만 / 축구대표팀 감독 : 여러분이 기다렸으니까요. 축구협회 관계자가 해외 원정을 마치면 선수단이 귀국할 때 보통 감독이 함께 귀국한다는 얘기를 해줘서 아무 문제 없이 일정을 바꿨습니다.]
Director Klinsmann originally planned to continue ‘remote work’ abroad for a while and then return to Korea around the end of this month, but he changed his schedule as domestic public opinion deteriorated.
However, he seemed to be completely oblivious to the public criticism, and instead expressed the interest of fans and the media in terms of welcome.
[위르겐 클린스만 / 축구대표팀 감독 : 독일이나 미국에서는 귀국할 때 이렇게 많은 사람이 환영해준 적이 없어요. 평가전이었을 뿐인데요. 저에게는 새로운 경험이에요.]
Coach Klinsmann, who was appointed as the national team’s head coach last February, has stayed in Korea for only 67 days and has been subject to strong criticism for failing to win in five games.
Coach Klinsmann, who won against Saudi Arabia in 6 games, attached great significance to this international match.
[위르겐 클린스만 / 축구대표팀 감독 : 지난 열흘 동안 웨일스, 사우디와의 평가전을 통해 아시안컵에 대비해 많은 걸 배우고 성장하는 기회였습니다.]
About 50 reporters gathered at Incheon Airport, where Coach Klinsmann returned home with his domestic players.
Coach Klinsmann, who returned to Korea after 45 days, plans to check on his players by watching the K-League game this weekend.
