After this performance, LWS should be given maximum time in the next three friendlies to get comfortable
Don't think I got crucified. I just spoke what I saw. And MSM himself agreed with me. He had a poor performance except for a well taken goal against a shitty defence. Sure it's his debut but I expect more from KNT players at this stage before the world cup. Happy for him to be given another chance cuz of the goal he scored but it doesn't detract away from his overall performance. Like I said earlier, the goal just bought him more time to prove himself.
Anyone have links to the game? As much as it seems underwhelming, I would like to watch it if I could. Do we know why Ki, Koo were on bench the entire match?
Ki has a back injury. I don't think it's that severe. Not sure. Koo because STY doesn't know how to use him.
SHM looks average build relatively on TOTT but looks unusually bigger for KNT because every other attacker is short/skinny
Fun story: after the match, the Honduran GK asked the team's interim GK coach for help in exchanging jerseys with a Korean player. The Honduras assistant successfully sought out Kim Seung-Gyu, receiving a timely assist from Lee Young-Pyo, who relayed the message to the locker room. 韓国戦後。ホンジュラス代表GKが「韓国代表選手のユニをもらってきて欲しい」と頼んできた。僕はあえて出場しなかった金スンギュのもとへ。スンギュは日本語で「俺ですか!?」と3度聞き返してきた。出てないのになぜ…と驚いた様子だった。出てたGKを親切に呼んできてくれようともしてくれた(続く— 山野陽嗣╱Yoji Yamano (@yoji_yamano) May 30, 2018 続き)しかし僕は「あなたのが欲しいのです」と金スンギュに伝えた。ホンジュラス戦は出なかったが彼こそがロシアW杯で正GKを務めるであろう韓国No.1GK。ホンジュラス代表GKには彼のユニをあげたかった。スンギュも快くユニ交換してくれた。カムサハンニダ、金スンギュ!#ヴィッセル神戸 #金スンギュ https://t.co/1Cb4I31Qyi— 山野陽嗣╱Yoji Yamano (@yoji_yamano) May 30, 2018 韓国戦後。更衣室に帰ってからもホンジュラス代表選手が「韓国代表選手のユニをもらってきて欲しい(こちらのユニと交換)」と頼んできた。しかし韓国代表の更衣室に行く事はできない。困ってると韓国サッカー界のレジェンド、イ・ヨンピョ氏が「私が行ってもらってきてあげましょう」と助けてくれた。 pic.twitter.com/usbPwYwYBv— 山野陽嗣╱Yoji Yamano (@yoji_yamano) May 30, 2018 続き)イ・ヨンピョ氏に「安英学の大学サッカー部時代の同級生です」と伝えると「ああ、安英学!」と満面の笑みで喜んでくれ、話に花が咲いた。韓国人からすると、なぜ日本人の僕がホンジュラス代表で働いてるのか意味が分からない。けど安の話をすると、韓国人はみんな、とても喜んでくれた(続く) https://t.co/UfSiz0cers— 山野陽嗣╱Yoji Yamano (@yoji_yamano) May 30, 2018
It's good for morale to win, but a true test for the defense is coming. If Korea doesn't concede vs. Bosnia, I have optimism at least for the game vs. Sweden.
