Post-match: [International Friendly] Korea vs. Australia 6/07/2019

It might've been more beneficial if Bento used more subs and rotated more players in. And why does Son have to play every minute?

 

I'll take the win. Well done lads. Bitter sweet for me as an Aussie haha.

 

Korea would benefit from a box to box player.

 

Definitely would. Also need a central mid who demands the ball and wants to dictate the play in opposition half.

 

We have one. Bento sits him on the bench.

 

Not the most exciting match but still a win a the end of the day.
Defensively, the team was solid and organized, especially KKW who had a perfect game.
The 2 central midfielders (HIB and JSJ) were "slapdash" but the striker didn't offer many solutions either. Up front, players were maybe tired of their season in Europe, it can explain why they lacked inspiration.
Bento : Good substitution with HC (1 assist)) and HEJ (1 goal), the back 3 seems a good option, he used KMH instead of LY... finally, but what's so special NSH got ? I guess, every coach has his favorite pet : Stielike had LJH, Bento has NSH. And I can't help but to be worried about how we play against asian oppositions, there is no real rythm for 90 minutes.

 

Good goal. I wish LSW and PSH got playing time tho

 

SON is class

 

LJS is just not up to par when playing for NT....what is wrong with him?

side note: your match threads have been good luck for us so far....you're hired!

 

Yes, but I would take him off of set piece duties. That just isn't his forte.

 

there was no reason to play SHM the full 90

 

At this point, it seems like he's trying to humble them in the most old-school, outdated, and ineffective fashion.

Let the kids get in and get shut down. Make it a lesson all while including them and building up confidence as well as a relationship for the future.

 

Well, his pressing and movements off the ball were pretty good in the first half but he slumped in the 2nd.

side note : Yes, surprisingly haha (I didn't open this one, though)

 

oh...well, there ya go! That explains the ugly win!!

 

It was a mistake watching the following video after this match:

Reminds me of Cho Wonhee in the late 2000s.

 

why only do three subs?

 

yes, but these kinda wins are like fools gold

 

Btw, since bwintv.net was taken down, are there any other stable links that we know of?

 

Its been a pain. Bwin.tv was my go to
