Confidence in scoring the most goals since Klinsmann was launched... ‘Six-goal storm’ after breaking through dense defense

 

 

10 goals in 2 games ahead of the 2nd qualifying round of the World Cup... Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, and Lee Kang-in all scored goals.

The national soccer team, which is about to begin its first gateway to the 2026 North and Central America World Cup, completed its preparation in a good mood by scoring a 'goal storm' in two consecutive games. 바카라사이트

The national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany), won 6-0 in a friendly match against Vietnam held at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the 17th.

The national team won its third consecutive international match against Vietnam on this day, following the match against Saudi Arabia (1-0) held in England last month and Tunisia (4-0) held in Seoul on the 13th of this month.

In particular, the national team scored 10 goals in just two games this month, showing off one cool game after another in front of their home fans.

On this day, two more goals were scored than against Tunisia, making it the highest score among the national team matches under Coach Klinsmann since March of this year.

It can be seen as a predicted result as it was a match with a large difference between 26th (Korea) and 95th (Vietnam) in the FIFA rankings, but it is clear that the firepower was released to relieve the frustration felt in the previous A match.

Klinsmann presented a more aggressive lineup on this day, facing Vietnam, which was inferior in objective power to its previous opponent, Tunisia.

‘Captain’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who missed the Tunisia match, returned as a starter and joined Cho Gyu-sung (Midtjylland) at the forefront of the attack, while Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Lee Jae-seong (Mainz), and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) are active in the second line. It was.

Compared to the selection against Tunisia, the change was that midfielder Hong Hyun-seok (Gent) was omitted and Son Heung-min was added.

The national team regarded this game as a mock test to prepare for the Southeast Asian team that will meet in the second round of the World Cup qualifiers starting next month.

Singapore, the opponent in the first match of the second preliminary round on the 16th of next month, and Thailand, which will meet in the third round in March next year, are Southeast Asian teams.

Among the Asian Cup group stage opponents is Malaysia, a Southeast Asian team.

With the best members of the European team on the offensive line, the national team scored its first goal through a set piece.

Core center back Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) took a corner kick from Lee Kang-in and scored the first winning goal, emerging as an option that could be used in similar situations in the future.

The fact that world-renowned sharp kickers such as Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in are holding up in set-piece situations is something that will serve as a major strength in the important games that follow.

Afterwards, with Vietnam mostly dropping down to form a 'two-line defense' except for about one player at the front, the national team took the game easily with Hwang Hee-chan scoring an additional goal before the end of the first half.

The opponent's own goal in the 6th minute of the second half and Son Heung-min's early goal in the 15th minute of the second half effectively decided the game, and the national team achieved a perfect victory in terms of score, with one opposing player being sent off and even having a numerical superiority.

Lee Kang-in and Jeong Woo-young (Stuttgart), key members of the Hangzhou Asian Games gold medal team, took over the scoring relay, and various players accumulated attack points, and the entire team continued a good trend.

Although the defense was 'zero points' in terms of numbers, it must be recalled that Vietnam's counterattacks and pressure occasionally resulted in heartbreaking situations.

This was the case in the 29th minute of the first half, when the ball was taken away by the opponent's front line and the decisive shot was given to Nguyen Dinh Park.

There is no such thing as a 'perfect defense' that does not give up a single shot or a moment of crisis against any team, but considering the 'weight difference' between the two teams and the aspects of the game that day, it was not an entirely new experience.
