According to the soccer community on the 8th, Klinsmann and the Korea Football Association (KFA) decided to hold a press conference online in the middle of this month and are stepping up efforts. It turned out that the KFA has already made an announcement about the interview.
In particular, it is shocking that Klinsmann thought he would hold a press conference through "Zoom" when it would not be enough to hold a press conference when he entered Korea.
Klinsmann is considered to be hardly keeping his promise of staying in Korea when he took office. Except for March and June, when the A match was included, he spent most of his time abroad where he was at home. As a result, he faced criticism that he was acting against good faith. In addition, he recorded two draws and two losses without any clear results in the first four games since his appointment to the national team, setting a new record of no wins after his debut as a foreign head coach of the Korean national team.
At a time when the results and processes are all messed up and considered to be lacking in sincerity, it is not enough to remotely observe players and hold online coaching staff meetings in the U.S., and now they are determined to give an interview.
Klinsmann had already made headlines in June by giving a 90-minute press conference out of the blue. At that time, the Klinsmann team brought Peru and El Salvador, who failed to advance to the Qatar World Cup finals last year, to Korea with only one draw and one loss.
It was also a problem to lose 0-1 against the Peruvian national team, which was less jet-lagged, but it was simply a "shock" to draw 1-1 after a poor match with El Salvador in North and Central America, which lost 0-6 to Japan. Then, Klinsmann and other coaching staff came up to Seoul and left the country after 90 minutes of press conference like a soccer game, which may be an explanation or an excuse.
Even at that time, it was mainly evaluated as a "blank interview" without substance. There was no A match for the next 50 days. And Klinsmann has been embroiled in controversy over working from home less than 10 days since he stayed in Korea during this period.
In addition, Klinsmann has recently been at the center of several controversies. Considering Korea's special reality, there are many voices calling for consideration for the Hangzhou Asian Games national team in September. However, as Klinsmann is poised to transfer key Asian Games players to two consecutive A matches in Europe in September, he is suspected of "internal shooting" against Hwang Sun-hong, who is already suffering from three consecutive losses.
In addition, he recently interviewed ESPN in the U.S. and revealed his thoughts on Tottenham's junior striker Harry Kane's transfer to Bayern Munich and Lionel Messi's entry into MLS in the U.S., making Korean fans smile bitterly.
Klinsmann isn't the time to play 'Walkle'. The first priority is to pay all attention to keeping the rapidly falling Korean national team alive. "Walkle play" is something to be done only after being on track as a coach of the Korean national team. Many soccer players who watched the interview about Kane and Messi lamented, saying, "I haven't come to my senses yet."
In addition, we cannot help but point out the behavior of the Korea Football Association (KFA). This is because Klinsman, who commits actions that are beyond common sense, cannot be controlled and is keeping pace with him.
The KFA, which went to the bottom of the list in March with a surprise pardon for match-fixing football, later tried to sneak over the situation by taking out a reform card following the resignation of all board members, but chose midfielder Lee Sang-min, who was fined 5 million won by the court last month.[스포츠토토 사이트 추천](https://www.bsc.news/post/safe-totosite-ranking-top-15-major-safe-playground-2024 )
In the process, Lee Sang-min gave an absurd explanation that he was not checked properly because he was a second-division player, proving that his willingness to reform the executive branch was nothing more than empty talk.
Even though he is an employer, he is unable to say a word of bitterness to Klinsmann, who is increasing his working hours from home, overshadowing his promise to reside in Korea, and is rather protected or even swayed by him. He is transforming himself into Klinsmann's "home helper" while supporting remote interviews in the U.S.
A KFA official said, "Even before that, (Only Cleans) kept asking me to schedule an interview. "It was only now that I carried it out," he explained.
What Klinsmann needs is action and skill, not any words or declarations. However, I cannot help but point out that there is still a long way to go when looking at the push for a remote press conference that has lost its basics.
