Korean national soccer team coach Jurgen Klinsmann (Germany), who is on a business trip to Europe, will start checking European players in earnest this weekend. Director Klinsman went to the United States with his family on the 1st and then went to Europe. He plans to stay in Europe for the time being, closely inspect European players such as Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), who are the core resources of the national team, and prepare for the European expedition to be held in England next month.
Director Klinsman does not return to Korea, but immediately moves to Wales, England after continuing his European checks. South Korea confirmed Wales as its opponent for the second consecutive A-match in Europe in September, and is discussing with Saudi Arabia as the second opponent. While head coach Klinsman is abroad, head coach Andreas Herrchowk and advisor Cha Doo-ri tour the K-League field to find the best players from Korea.
Manager Klinsman, who is staying in Ireland for his personal charity work, will then go to England to watch the opening game of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2023-2024 season between Brentford and Tottenham. While Son Heung-min is likely to start, defender Kim Ji-soo from the U-20 national team, who moved to Brentford from K-League 2 Seongnam FC this summer, is also preparing to make a sortie.
After that, he plans to move to Denmark to watch the national team goal scorer Cho Kyu-seong (Mittjylland) play. In the transfer market this summer, 먹튀검증 Cho Kyu-seong, who left Jeonbuk Hyundai in the K-League 1 and settled in Mittjylland, is showing off his goal sense by scoring three consecutive goals since the start of the Danish regular season. Attention is focusing on whether he will continue his goal march in front of coach Klinsman. Director Klinsman will return to the United States after completing a European inspection this weekend and hold a press conference online with domestic media for two days on the 17th and 18th.
He also attends meetings of the board of directors of the European Football Federation (UEFA) and continues to check European factions. Meanwhile, coach Klinsman has recorded 2 draws and 2 losses without a win in 4 evaluation matches since his appointment. After drawing 2-2 on their debut match with Colombia in March, they lost to Uruguay (1-2 loss), and in June, they failed to win their first games against Peru (0-1 loss) and El Salvador (1-1 draw).
There are also voices of criticism that he spends more time abroad while taking the lead of the Korean national team and performing poorly. Manager Klinsman had agreed to live in Korea at the time of his contract.
