rough translation (sorry my English is lacking):

Shin Tae Yong about the game:
"To play in such a big tournament like the Olympic games made the players too nervous in the first half."
"I told them to play more boldly during the half time. That's why we could score a lot of goals in the second half."

About scoring the most goals since 5-3 against Mexico in 1948:
"This will be a great motivation. With the good result, I can plan the next game more relieved. We can go all-in against Germany now. If we win against them, it's going to be more easy in the next round."

About Mexico vs Germany (which he watched):
"I was hoping for a draw so it exactly resulted the way I wanted. I am sorry that I can't tell you anything, but I will play with a different formation against Germany."

About Son & Suk and the next game:
"They became good (I think he means in terms of team play). I will try to fix the parts that considers me and prepare well to get a good result. I am sorry, but i can't tell you how."

That's how I like it. The opponent shouldn't get to know how we will play. (I've told you recently that I don't like STY telling everything to the media, guess that was just confidence. )

 

I don't think we can beat Germany, and if we can't then might as well give up. There's no way of winning a medal.

 

I'm not a big fan of Ryu Seung Woo but he did well. Hopefully he doesn't just do well against an amatuer team and do well against a real team considering he's going to start the next game.

 

I'd say Suk Hyun-Jun is the most important player against Germany, because Süle is the weak point in Germany's defense. Also SHM against Toljan will be interesting to watch. But on the other hand, I fear Gnabry is gonna rape SSM with his speed.

 

Hated how Suk celebrated, there was no time for that. Keep scoring more goals!

 

Still confounding that Sule and Toljan are representing Germany.

 

Look 8 posts above you. Thank me later.

 

Don't forget Brandt.

 

I know. The different is, I've always said to keep an eye on Brandt, while I totally underestimated Gnabry. After the Mexico match, I know why he got nominated.

 

ooh look at that

 

That run......

We won against a decent Great Britain team back in 2012, dont see why we cant win against germany. And didnt japan beat spain in 2012??

 

He reminds me of PCY

 

Back then we had a great team, with our U23 team being almost synonymous with the NT.

That's a matter of opinion. Back then our senior NT was much weaker than now and aside of KSY, JSR and KJC I can't figure out any players that were important for the senior KNT.
If you remember, it was at the time when JDW was playing for Sunderland's reserves (means before his transfer to Augsburg), Kim Bo-Kyung played in Japan, PCY had been absent from the NT because of his military issues and he was bench warming at Arsenal anyway.
Some players like Yun Suk-Young or Kim Young-Gwon might've been called up for some games but they weren't important for the KNT yet.

I'd say we had Ki Sung-Yong back then and a better functioning defense. But beside that, we aren't that worse. I'd dare to say that we have much better attack options now.

 

Whether he was playing for Arsenal or not, Park was a central figure in our NT in 2012. So was Ji to a lesser extent.

Look at the current U-23 team (wildcard aside), apart from Kwon, there's no-one who's made an appearance for the NT. Plus, Ryu is/was a benchwarmer for a 2.Bundesliga, Hwang plays in Austrian Second Division.

Nam Tae-Hee was also a frequent selection for the NT, Kim Bo-Kyung was on fire for Cerezo.

Also, don't underestimate Koo and Ki's importance back in 2012. NONE of the players in the current U23 team are anywhere near their standards.

 

This man called it.

Also lol at some of you blaming hairstyles for being unable to break down Fiji.

 

fiji's uniform looks like germany


btw
