Jurgen Klinsmann (59), the national soccer team coach, will travel around Europe to check the national team players.
Coach Klinsman, who is currently resting in the US, will leave for Europe on the 14th. According to an official from the Korea Football Association (KFA), he plans to visit Scotland, Italy, and Germany in turn, starting with London, England, where Tottenham Hotspur is located, to watch European players including captain Son Heung-min.
The first schedule is a visit to Tottenham. Coach Klinsman plans to watch Son Heung-min while watching the Premier League round 31 match between Tottenham and Bournemouth at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 15th.
As coach Klinsman is from Tottenham, he also holds meetings with club officials. He was short-lived at Tottenham in the past, but played twice (1994-1995 season, 1997-1998 season), scoring 30 goals in 56 games. In particular, in the 1997-1998 season, he became a club legend by joining in the middle of the season and preventing relegation from the second division.
The next destination is Scotland, where ‘the youngest member of the national team’ Oh Hyun-kyu is located. Coach Klinsman is scheduled to visit Kilmarnock, Scotland on the 16th to watch the match between Kilmarnock and Celtic.
After that, he moved to Naples, Italy. Napoli, to which Kim Min-jae belongs, will play the second leg of the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) against AC Milan at their home stadium, Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, on the 19th. Coach Klinsman watches the match.
As Kim Min-jae cannot participate in this game due to accumulated warnings, it is expected that personal interviews with players will be the main focus. Previously, Kim Min-jae said right after the A match against Uruguay in March, “It is physically difficult. I am mentally broken. I want to write,” he complained of physical and mental fatigue. 토토사이트
In addition, Kim Min-jae was caught up in rumors of a feud with Son Heung-min and rumors of a faction within the national team. Fortunately, he emphasized that the misunderstanding with Son Heung-min was well resolved through an apology and two statements, and that the faction rumor was never true. He also apologized for his erratic actions and mistakes.
The case has been settled, but Kim Min-jae’s tired mind is clearly in need of care. However, director Klinsman is full of confidence. A KFA official said, “Coach Klinsman has already talked with Min-jae Kim, so he knows the situation well. It just takes time, but there doesn’t seem to be any special problem. I said, ‘I’ll take care of it’.”
