Foreign media analysis

The global sports media "The Athletic" introduced various reasons why coach Jurgen Klinsmann is criticized in Korea after failing to win the Qatar Asian Cup on the 11th (Korea time).

Klinsmann has also been heavily criticized for his tactics and training. It is sometimes expressed as giving players a high degree of freedom, but in other words, it lacks tactical details. Since there are few detailed instructions, it usually depends on the players' individual abilities. Problems ensue when players do not move systematically.

The Athletic introduced Kyle Martino's assessment on the former U.S. national team player and explained that Klinsmann had a similar problem when he was in charge of the U.S. national team. Martino, who worked for NBC Sports, said, "I saw the training in person and it was strange. It was hard to understand and I couldn't get my head around it. The players didn't know where they were going to play until the game day because they didn't prepare it properly. It was a mess."

He also criticized Philippe Rahm, a former German national team player who was a student of Bayern Munich. Rahm once said in his autobiography, "He wasn't very interested in tactical matters and only gave me physical training. It was up to the players to discuss how to play before the game." Rahm's remarks made headlines when Klinsmann first came to Korea. "Every player has a training that they want to do more. Rahm seems to have wanted more tactical training."

The Athletic reported that Klinsmann focused too much on physical training ahead of the Asian Cup. "In preparation for the Asian Cup, Klinsmann had a very intense training session. According to a person familiar with the situation, Klinsmann pushed the team a lot and the players were exhausted."

Team Korea has been showing off a lot of pressure since the group stage. After playing games for more than 120 minutes in a row, the team became more lethargic. Eventually, the team failed to properly resist Jordan in the semifinals and was eliminated.

Amid growing calls for his resignation as the disappointment continues, Klinsmann expressed his willingness to continue as a coach in an interview back home, saying, "I don't see advancing to the semifinals as a failure." The Korea Football Association plans to analyze the Asian Cup through the Power Enhancement Committee and discuss ways to operate the national team in the future.
