Klins Manho drew with Wales in an evaluation match and failed to break the chain of draws in 5 consecutive matches in his debut.
The Korean men’s soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany), drew 0-0 with Wales in a warm-up match held at Cardiff City Stadium in Wales, England on the 8th (Korean time).
With this, Klinsmanho recorded 3 draws and 2 losses without a win in his career.
Korea failed to win against Colombia (2-2) and Uruguay (1-2) in the A match in March after coach Klinsman took the helm, and lost to Peru (0-1) in the June A match and lost to El Salvador (1). -1) and tied.
In the FIFA rankings, South Korea is ranked 28th and Wales is ranked 35th.
Korea will move to Newcastle, England, and challenge for its first victory against Saudi Arabia (ranked 54th) at 1:30 am on the 13th. Saudi Arabia recently appointed former Italian national team coach Roberto Mancini (Italy) as the head coach.
Coach Klinsman, who led the away evaluation match for the first time, came up with the ‘nails’ tactic that Tottenham had a lot of fun in last weekend’s game against Burnley.
Son Heung-min and Cho Kyu-seong (Mitwillan), who scored a hat-trick against Burnley, started as two tops, while Lee Jae-seong (Mainz) and Hong Hyun-seok (Ghent) were deployed as left and right wings.
Hong Hyun-seok, who was first selected for the national team during the A-match last July and served as a substitute in both games, scrambled for the first time in his life as a starter on this day.
Park Yong-woo (Al-Ain) and Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) were in charge of the midfield.
The four-back defense line, from left, consisted of Lee Ki-je (Suwon), Kim Min-jae (Munich), Jung Seung-hyun, and Seol Young-woo (Ulsan), and the goalkeeper gloves were worn by Kim Seung-gyu (Al-Shabaab).
In Wales, Son Heung-min’s teammate Brennan Johnson served as a two-top with Nathan Broadhead (Ipswich Town).
Also from Tottenham, center back Ben Davies wore the captain’s armband and stood on the final defensive line.
In the 13th minute of the first half of Korea, which did not create such a scene, Broadhead allowed a shot, but Kim Seung-kyu’s save saved a point.
The Korean players couldn’t stop the process of passing the ball to Broadhead in midfield.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min scored Korea’s first shot from outside the penalty area, but came out of the defense.
Korea, which could hardly attack Wales’ defense, created several threatening scenes in the last stages of the first half.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Lee Ki-je’s sharp cross from the left failed to reach the head or feet of Cho Kyu-seong and Hong Hyeon-seok, who were rushing to the goal.
In the 40th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min’s right-footed kick shot from the left side of the penalty arc was caught by goalkeeper Danny Ward.
In the 16th minute of the second half, Korea replaced Hwang In-beom and Hong Hyun-seok and put in Lee Sun-min (Gwangju) and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) to change the lineup.
However, the flow of the game did not change significantly after that, and a dangerous scene continued in the middle of the second half.
In the 20th minute of the second half, Chris Mepham’s cross from the right was headed by keeper Moore, and it hit the right post.
A minute later, Broadhead’s low mid-range shot hit the defense and grazed the left side of the goal.
Even after using several replacement cards at the end of the game, the trend of Korea’s inferiority continued. In the 29th minute of the second half, Hwang Ui-jo (Norwich) replaced Cho Kyu-seong, and in the 39th minute, Yang Hyeon-jun (Celtic) and Lee Dong-kyung (Ulsan) took the place of Lee Jae-seong and Park Yong-woo.
Korea recorded 4 shots (Wales 10) that day. Three of these were made by Son Heung-min.
