Korean football has taken a powerful first step toward the 2026 World Cup to be held in three North and Central American countries (Canada, the United States, and Mexico).
The national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann (59, Germany), finished its two A-matches in March with a friendly match against South American powerhouse Uruguay held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 28th. The national team faced Colombia on the 24th at Ulsan Munsu Stadium.
It was a return match made in four months against Uruguay in the first round of Group H of last year’s Qatar World Cup group stage. It is not uncommon for a World Cup opponent to be invited as an A-match sparring partner.
Most of all, this two-game series drew great attention as it was the debut stage of coach Klinsman, who took the new helm after former coach Paulo Bento (Portugal), who led the team to the round of 16 at the Qatar World Cup. The new coach’s soccer philosophy, ideals, direction, and whether or not ‘Bentoho’ successfully continued the existing style were maintained. 먹튀검증
It is difficult to expect a clear change at the stage of just starting, but the atmosphere around coach Klinsmann, who is a world-class striker who was called the ‘German bomber’ and has a free-spirited and flexible mindset, uses social media (SNS) without hesitation. is not bad.
‘Coffee time’ is a representative example. Coach Klinsmann, who announced that most team training will be held in the morning ahead of the first convocation training held at the National Training Center (NFC) in Paju, Gyeonggi-do on the 20th, said, “Germans tend to get things done quickly. He can do what he lacks in the morning in the afternoon, or if he doesn’t have a special routine, he can enjoy a cup of coffee with the players.”
