Cannavaro is known to be a big fan of KYK. They just thought they could sell him, so they unregistered him, but in the end the asking price by Evergrande scared off the interested teams.
I like this hostile crowd better. I wish all the opposing teams included a couple boneheads like these.
KNT's recent successes, new European coach, "handsome" players like LSW and HEJ + Korean baseball's continuous downfall are making Korean soccer attractive again. The crowd is engaged, our play is heaps better than Slitkeke and STY eras and just an overall positive vibe.
my biggest first half takeaway- despite losing the ball in our third several times, i'm impressed the defenders didn't lose their heads and kept positional discipline to not concede.
- So far we're playing well despite the stupid mistakes committed by Kim Jin-hyeon/Jang Hyun-soo, and against the high pressure by the Chileans. Even under pressure, we're managing to cut off plays/attacks and buildup for scoring opportunities, to which we've had several of them thus far, and this is something we've not seen within the last 7 years under Choi Kang-hee, Stielike, and Shin Tae-yong(STY only baring the Colombia, Serbia, and Germany matches) as we've been endlessly getting stuck whilst looking completely static with our buildup and attacking plays due to the opposing teams parking the bus, and remember we were struggling against mediocre AFC teams like Myanmar, China, Syria as such. - Counter-attacking seems a lot faster than we'd normally see, and again it's been a problem considering we'd always end up in a situation where the opposition will quickly fall back to defense and plug up the backline since we're a good footstep or two too slow with our counter-attacks, and this is during a perfect counter-attacking opportunities as well. - Only downfall is that as Lee Young-pyo mentioned, only if our off the ball movement and tempo is a bit faster than the Chileans, then we'd see more progress in scoring chances since the Chileans are resilient in their pressure as well as their players are always a step ahead in man-to-man situations.
Its great to see fast counter-attacks again. Its been what... 10 yrs since we saw fast pace like this in our NT for the last time?
More than 10 years, our counter-attacking tempo have declined post Hiddink era, and more gradually after the Advocaat era.
It's definitely not. Do you know what 레자 is? Or the autograph controversies? Post AG, baseball has taken a huge hit.
