‘Wolcle’ Kim Min-jae, but 2 runs, left collapsed when Kim Jin-soo fell… One of Klinsmann’s challenges

The biggest task from the first game. It’s about finding a defensive balance.

The national soccer team spent a perfect 45 minutes in the first half in a friendly match against Colombia held at Ulsan Munsu Stadium on the 24th. Son Heung-min’s first goal in the 10th minute and an additional goal in extra time tied the score to a 2-0 lead. The completeness of the attack centered on Son Heung-min and the quality of the pass play involving Hwang In-beom and Lee Jae-seong were high.

As if to prove that advancing to the round of 16 at the 2022 Qatar World Cup was not a coincidence, he had an exciting first half. It was enough content to drive 37,000 spectators into a frenzy.

Things changed in the second half. James Rodriguez scored a comeback goal in the first minute of the second half, and Jorge Carrascal equalized three minutes later. It went from 2-0 to 2-2 in an instant. Munsu Stadium, which was in a festive mood until halftime, was ‘exciting’. 메이저놀이터

Both goals came from the left. At the beginning of the second half, Columbia persistently bit the left side. Looking at the first conceded scene, the beginning was that the penetration pass was connected too easily into the penalty box. Kim Min-jae allowed a cross, and it was regrettable that Kim Young-kwon and Jung Woo-young missed Hames, but the primary reason was that they failed to block the pass leading to the dangerous area.

The left side was also a problem in the second conceded scene. Kim Young-kwon’s dangerous forward pass was blocked, and our defense could not keep up with the quick attack from the left. Since the organized and tight defense was not made, they had no choice but to struggle against Colombia’s excellent attacking team.
