Frequent business trips, poor grades, What's Klinsmann's answer?

Jurgen Klinsmann, head coach of the Korean national soccer team, will have time to communicate with the media. Attention is focusing on what Klinsmann, who has been controversial due to his poor performance and frequent overseas business trips since taking the helm of the national team, will say.

The Korea Football Association announced that it plans to have a time of communication through online meetings with domestic media from the 17th to the 18th. Unlike former head coach Paulo Bento, Klinsmann is said to have a tendency to solve problems through active communication when issues arise. This meeting also seems to be a willingness to solve the problem through dialogue as negative evaluations toward coach Klinsmann continue.

First of all, manager Klinsmann is controversial due to his frequent overseas business trips. When Klinsmann was the head coach of the German national soccer team, he was pointed out for staying in California, where his family is located, and working from home. At the time of taking office for the national team, Klinsmann said, "It is right to stay in this matter," adding, "Thanks to playing soccer, I had a chance to live in Italy, France, and the United States, and this time I was lucky to stay in Korea."

However, Klinsmann's stay in Korea is not that long. After making his national team debut in March, Klinsmann left for the U.S. to check on the European team and returned to Korea after about a month. Klinsmann, who flew to Qatar on May 7 to attend the Asian Cup group draw event, immediately headed to the U.S. and returned home in June.

After finishing the A match held in June, Klinsmann returned on the 24th after going on vacation for a month this time, and left the country again on August 1. In the meantime, it has been decided to form the second qualifying group for the 2026 World Cup in Asia. However, Klinsmann did not offer any position. At the meeting, Klinsmann is expected to express his position on frequent overseas business trips.

Coach Klinsmann will start work on the 12th while watching the opening match of the English Premier League (EPL) between Brentford and Tottenham in the 2023-2024 season. At this time, Klinsmann plans to check the physical condition of Son Heung-min (Tottenham). Kim Ji-soo, a defender from the U-20 World Cup team who moved from Seongnam FC in the K League 2, is also playing for Brentford. Klinsmann plans to check not only Cho Kyu-sung (Mitwillan) but also Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich).

I am also looking forward to a cool answer to the question of grades. Since Klinsmann took the helm, the national team has yet to win. Before his debut, he had a 2-2 draw with Colombia in the warm-up match, and lost 1-2 against Uruguay. In the warm-up match held in June, they lost 0-1 to Peru and swallowed their disappointment with a 1-1 draw with El Salvador. Considering that Klinsmann has suggested winning the Asian Cup and reaching the semifinals of the World Cup, this is not a satisfactory result.

Klinsmann desperately needs to win the A match in September. Klinsmann will fly to Wales immediately after checking out the European side. The national team has a warm-up match against Wales here. It has not been confirmed since then, but it plans to play an A match against Saudi Arabia again.
