When asked about the opponent that Korea wants to meet in the final of the 2023 Asian Cup, coach Jurgen Klinsmann expressed his modesty. He said: " I haven't thought about the final yet. I don't think about the word 'final' because I'm not sure if the team will get there or not. We will try our best to face Jordan ."
South Korea will face Jordan in a rematch in the semi-finals. The two teams met in the group stage and the match ended in a 2-2 draw. South Korea opened the scoring through Son Heung-min. Jordan went 2-1 up before Yazan Al Arab scored an own goal to tie the score.
" I'm very excited. I'm looking forward to it and I want to give Jordan credit. The two teams met in the group stage and how difficult it was. I want to give credit to coach Hussein Ammouta. We've come a long way and we're very hungry. The team is well prepared and positive. We'll try to achieve the desired goal ," said the German strategist.
Coach Klinsmann spoke at a press conference before the semi-final match with Jordan.
Mr. Klinsmann wants the players to be as comfortable as possible before the match. He does not want his students to be distracted by the media and outside issues. At the same time, he organized a dinner with the whole team a few days ago, with the participation of the families of the team members.
At the 2023 Asian Cup, South Korea has had problems in defense. They have not kept a clean sheet in any match. In the confrontation with Jordan, this team did not have the service of Kim Min-jae due to suspension.
" We have data to analyze the match against Jordan in the group stage. Korea conceded two goals. We saw the talent of Jordan's players, but that will not be shown tomorrow. Defensively, we will stop Jordan's strengths. It is important that we take advantage of our strengths. Somehow Korea must score more goals than Jordan ," Klinsmann shared.
The match between Jordan and South Korea will take place at 10pm, February 6.
