‘I want to grow Lee Kang-in’ Coach Klinsman sees 2026

Head coach Jurgen Klinsmann, who is starting his journey in earnest, is focusing on long-term goals rather than tomorrow’s game.

The Korean men’s national soccer team, led by coach Klinsman, held an official pre-game press conference at 3:00 p.m. on the 23rd at Ulsan Munsu Soccer Stadium. On the 24th at 8:00 pm, Klinsman Ho will take his first step through an evaluation match against Colombia.

What Coach Klinsman wants to gain from this game is to first identify the strengths of the existing players. The players who were summoned to the Paju National Training Center (NFC) from the 20th did not have enough time to put on tactical colors. European players such as Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Kang-in joined the team a day late due to their team schedule. It was announced that the members of the 1st class of Klins Manho will be composed mainly of players who participated in the last World Cup in Qatar and will not make any major changes. 스포츠토토

When asked about his strategy against Colombia, coach Klinsman said, “I try to use the strengths of the players as much as possible rather than the tactical part. It seems difficult to talk about the formation or tactics tomorrow. I am learning a lot through this call. are looking for,” he explained.

Coach Klinsman is also touring the K-League to see Korean players in person. In the future, among the existing members, players who fit the taste of coach Klinsman will remain, and new faces to match will be discovered.

Manager Klinsman’s contract period runs until the World Cup in North and Central America to be held in June 2026. He also expected the growth of young players as he had three and a half years left. The center is Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae. Coach Klinsman said, “Because there is still time until the World Cup in North and Central America, I want to make that process with the players. I hope that the young players will learn a lot from Heung-Min Son and Min-Jae Kim. If you prepare with it, you can produce good results.”

Lee Kang-in, who is considered the future of Korean soccer, also mentioned it. Coach Klinsman said, “He is a player who can play soccer at a very high level. It is an honor to be able to coach such a player. When I come to the national team, I want to have many conversations and help so that he can grow further. I hope Lee Kang-in will accept it well. I will take care of it,” he said.
