It was a poor match for the Korean national team. In the second Group E match of the 2023 Asian Cup, they tied 2-2 against Jordan, one level below. They managed to cope with that, too. Korea was relegated to second place in the group, and when they were caught by the underdog, Korean soccer fans, who were hurt their pride, were outraged. They needed a scapegoat to relieve their anger. They found the right target. They are striker Cho Kyu-sung.

Cho was ordered to start in both the first leg match against Bahrain and the second leg against Jordan. However, he was in a slump. He was not just in a slump, but extremely in a slump. He blew away all critical opportunities. Two against Bahrain and two against Jordan. He also had zero effective shots, not to mention goals.

The match against Bahrain was won 3-1 and let it go, but soccer fans ruthlessly shot an arrow of criticism at Cho Kyu-sung as they failed to win against Jordan.

Coincidentally, Cho Gyu-seong is sticking to his unique hairstyle. He has long hair. He has long hair. He wears a headband when playing in a game. The angry fans’ arrows focused on this. Social media are filled with comments criticizing him for tripping over Cho’s hair.

Cho Kyu-sung is sluggish because of his hair. He said he looked cool on the outside. He has celebrity disease. The bottom line is to cut his hair.

Their anger is understandable to some extent, but it is excessive. It is a criticism for criticism. It has no meaning, no lesson or direction. It is a familiar scene. Some fans choose a scapegoat and explode a ridiculous accusation. 토토사이트 순위

I got it wrong again this time. Hair length and soccer skills are irrelevant. From the past to the present, many long-haired players showed their best performances. There are many world-class stars, too. For example, Erling Holland now. Do you need another explanation.

It’s personality. It’s a way to appeal to one’s own charm. It’s an area to respect. Legally and morally, there is nothing wrong with long hair. And there is no scientific evidence that long hair lowers performance.

To properly point out Cho’s sluggishness, one has to look elsewhere. It is not known exactly why the 2022 Qatar World Cup hero Cho Kyu-sung was in such a slump at the Asian Cup. What is certain, however, is that if he fails to turn the tide around, his standing in the national team will be diminished. That, very quickly, too.

If the slump continues, whether his hair is long or short, he will lose out in the competition to become a starting member. No leader can tolerate it until the end, especially in a major competition. Hence, Cho is running out of time and opportunities.

Remember how Cho became the hero of the Qatar World Cup and secured the starting position for the national team. This was due to the sluggishness of Hwang Ui-jo, the former national team’s flagship striker. Cho had the opportunity due to his sluggish performance against Uruguay in the first round of the Qatar World Cup. Cho took advantage of the opportunity and is able to be where he is. Through the normal and natural internal processes on the soccer team, Cho was able to push Hwang out.

The national team’s flagship striker is Cho Kyu-sung. He can’t be an exception. This process can proceed again. If the slump continues, someone will take Cho’s place, and if he takes advantage of that opportunity, Cho will sparkle and disappear for a very short period of time. It is a series of hardships from being pushed back to coming forward again. No matter how much time passes, there is no guarantee.

Cho said, “It’s time to look back on how I made the leap to the starting lineup of the national team. This is no time to take time to relax. The position is very precarious right now. He could fall victim to the birth of a new star. It’s time to put his everything on the line.

Paulo Bento, the head coach of the Arab Emirates (UAE), said something bitter to the local media. He stressed the growth of the team step by step in the Asian Cup championship competition and emphasized looking at the big picture.

The UAE is in Group C with Iran, Palestine, and Hong Kong in the 2023 Asian Cup. It has increased its chances of advancing to the knockout stage of the round of 16 with two undefeated matches against Hong Kong (3-1 win) and Palestine (1-1 draw), but it will meet Iran, which confirmed its passage to the group stage earlier.

They held an official press conference ahead of the final Group C match against Iran at 0 a.m. on Sunday (Korea time). Bento said, “The second Group C match against Palestine was difficult. We were short of one due to early exit. We will face a stronger team in the final match, but we have strategic plans.”

Iran is also constantly participating in the FIFA World Cup finals and has the highest FIFA ranking among Asian teams. Bento is one of the familiar opponents as he has played against Iran while leading the Korean national team. 토토사이트 순위

“Iran is the strongest team in Group C. I think it is the strongest team in Asia right now,” he stressed. “We will do our best to produce the best result, but we expect difficult matches tomorrow as well. We have played against Iran for the past four to five years. We had two official matches and one friendly match. We have to approach Iran in various ways.”

Bento led the Korean national team to the round of 16 at the World Cup in Qatar. As it was a place where he made a miracle by defeating Portugal, he changed teams, but expectations are high. When asked about this at the press conference, he said, “I know the fans and the media have high expectations. I can’t do anything about that. Many people’s expectations are not something I can control.”

The media also responded sharply. “We would like to win the championship, but I wonder what the rationale is for thinking that. I want to ask if that has happened to us at least once. Isn’t it? It’s hard to understand the high expectations, but I think we have those expectations. We have to approach step by step. The players showing their best performance in every game, which should be what I expect and what we expect,” Bento said.

A man in his 50s in China who ran a marathon while smoking a “line cigarette” completed the marathon, but was eventually disqualified for violating regulations. According to foreign media including Business Insider on the 23rd, Chen, 52, who recently participated in the Chinese marathon, was disqualified for “chain smoking” while running a marathon.

He participated in this year’s “Shaman Marathon” and completed it in 3 hours and 33 minutes, but was judged to have violated the “no smoking” rule on the course.

Since last year, the China Association of Athletics has banned marathoners from “defecating, smoking, and stepping on flower beds or green areas in public places” with the aim of aiming for a healthier competition. 토토사이트 추천

Chen previously gained fame by smoking and running marathons. He also burned cigarettes throughout the 2018 Guangzhou Marathon and the 2019 Xiamen Marathon.

He also ran a cigarette in the 2022 Shin Anjang Marathon, when he completed the race in 3 hours and 28 minutes, five minutes faster than this marathon, and ranked 574th out of more than 1,500 runners.

Chen also said, “Cigarettes help you recover from fatigue, and if you bite a cigarette in your mouth while running, you could easily breathe in and continue running.”

The South Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will play the third Group E match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup against Malaysia at Al Zanub Stadium in Al Wakra, Qatar, at 8:30 p.m. on the 25th (Korea Standard Time). South Korea is in second place in the group, and Malaysia is in fourth place.

The tournament match will be decided by the match between Malaysia and Jordan and Bahrain. You can go up to first place in the group and meet Japan, but there are various possibilities to go up to second place in the group and meet Thailand. 스포츠토토사이트

As South Korea seeks to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years, the tournament’s luck will also be important. This is because every path to the trophy must be followed by a factor of luck. Luck is one of the necessary conditions for winning, but it is the lowest priority in terms of ranking.

What is most important in terms of winning the championship is skills. The reason why the arrow of criticism has been pouring in toward Team Cleansman since the match against Jordan is because the team failed to give credibility in its performance. No one would have wanted to feel that Jordan drew because it was good, but that Korea drew because it was bad.

From this point of view, it is true that Son Heung-min’s performance in the last two games was not satisfactory. In the match against Bahrain, he failed to secure two decisive scoring opportunities. In the match against Jordan, he scored a penalty kick himself through brilliant penetration, but his performance after scoring was different from the one he saw in the Premier League in the 2023-24 season.

Son Heung-min at the Asian Cup is showing his shortcomings if he was an all-around player who showed a soccer dosa at Tottenham this season. All the players in the second line had a lot of turnovers, but Son Heung-min also had 31 turnovers in two games. It is a phenomenon caused by the team’s problem that the two-line combination play is not being played organically, but it is also evidence that Son Heung-min’s play was not simple.

If an individual owns more balls, the number of attempts to dribble unnecessarily increases. In the past two games, Son dribbled 10 times and succeeded only three times. He did not look like Son. The dribble was not sharp, and the judgment to try dribbling was not good.

Indeed, it is difficult for Son to display good performance as his opponent’s checks are the most severe and all players are wary of him. Son has always been such a player. He also played the role of ace at Tottenham this season and received all kinds of checks, but he overcame them all.

According to the tactics of Klinsmann, who has a high degree of individual freedom of the player, the probability of winning increases only when the ace shines. In the last match against Bahrain, Lee Kang-in was active and brought a relatively easy victory. The match against Jordan, where both Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min were sluggish, was frustrating. I don’t doubt Son Heung-min, who will burn again someday, but the sooner the point will be, the better.

The South Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, drew 2-2 in the second Group E match of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup against Jordan (ranked 87th) at Al Thumama Stadium in Doha, Qatar, at 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday (local time). The match gave South Korea one win and one draw, while Jordan also had one win and one draw. Currently, Jordan ranks first and South Korea ranks second.

Klinsmann resumed the 4-1-2-3 formation while Son was in two-top formations with Cho. He moved freely between the left and the center and even went down to the midfield to be involved in build-up. He got a penalty kick in the early part of the first half and even scored a point as a kicker, giving him the lead. Up until Son’s first goal, he seemed to have been able to beat Jordan without difficulty, but things went differently. 토토사이트 추천

As Jordan’s right-hand attack with Moussa Al-Tamari revived and the Korean attack began to fail, the flow went over. Following Park Yong-woo’s own goal, Yazan al-Niamat’s come-from-behind goal turned the game around. South Korea, which scored Kim Tae-hwan and Hong Hyun-suk in the second half, fought back. Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in tried to solve the attack, but it was not completed.

In the extra time of the second half, Hwang In-beom’s shot hit the defense and went in, barely making it 2-2. He failed to make a come-from-behind goal, but he got a point without losing for now. Nevertheless, there was a lot of criticism, and everyone said the draw itself was an extraordinary event. It was an extraordinary event because they had star players such as Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae and Lee Kang-in and drew against Jordan with disappointing performance.

At the scene, Arab reporters asked Korean reporters, “Where is Son Heung-min?” (Where is Son Heung-min?” Of course, Son Heung-min is not all responsible for the poor performance of this game, but since he is the Korean captain, ace, and star player, the first thing that is mentioned when something unexpected happens is the same story as “Where is Sonny?”

In an interview with the broadcaster after the game, Son Heung-min said, “There were many situations where we lost goals due to our mistakes rather than encouragement. I said that these areas definitely need to be improved. I said that there was time, there was a lot of space, and there would be chances, but I think we had a fortunate result by scoring the equalizer at the end of the second half.”

In an interview with the Mixzone, he said, “It was an unsatisfactory game. No need to hide it. We lacked and Jordan prepared well and played a good game. I think we deserve praise and encouragement. On the contrary, we need to be more responsible. When I scored the equalizer at the end, I think it’s most important to look at the positive aspects instead of thinking that it’s a very bad situation.”

Son’s goal is his 50th in the tournament. When asked how he felt, he replied, “It’s not special. We didn’t win.” “We will see what happens in the future as we have to meet any team,” he said of the tournament’s opponents. “I learned a lot from my pain today. It was a good example and I’m glad that such a match came out in the group league. I need to become stronger.”
