Coach Jürgen Klinsmann of the Korean national soccer team

Coach Jürgen Klinsmann of the Korean national soccer team, who is participating in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup, is watching the players training at the Al Egla Training Center in Doha, Qatar, on the 23rd (local time).

Will Klinsmann, who had a consistent starting lineup at the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, make a change against Malaysia? For Korea, which aims to win the championship, the third and final game of the group stage is an appropriate time to activate the rotation.

The national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will play the final third match of the Asian Cup Group E against Malaysia at Al Janoub Stadium in Al Wakrah, Qatar at 8:30 pm on the 25th (Korean time).

Korea, which is currently in second place in the group with 1 win and 1 draw (4 points, 2 goal difference) following Jordan (4 points, 4 goal difference), will decide its final ranking through the game against Malaysia. Korea is likely to advance to the group stage unless it suffers a crushing loss to Malaysia.

Compared to the previous two games, the pressure is less and Malaysia's power is weak, so it is a good opportunity for Korea to look for the introduction of new faces, taking into account injuries and accumulated warnings.

Currently, there is no professional left wing defender in Korea. Jinsu Kim suffered a left calf injury during field training in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE) early this month. Lee Ki-je suffered a right hamstring injury in the second group match against Jordan on the 20th and will be unable to play for the time being.

It is possible to deploy multi-player Seol Young-woo on the left, but right-side defender Kim Tae-hwan (Jeonbuk) is not in perfect physical condition, so even this is bound to be a concern.

Since three of the four fullbacks named in the final entry are not in perfect condition, Coach Klinsmann may also consider changing the positions of central midfielders Lee Sun-min (Daejeon) and Hong Hyun-seok (Gent). The two have experience playing the role of side defenders in their respective teams.

Rest for key players concerned about accumulating warnings may also be considered. Son Heung-min (Tottenham), Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), and Hwang In-beom (Zvezda), who account for a large portion of the national team, received warnings. They play until the quarterfinals without receiving a warning, but if they receive a warning in the match against Malaysia, they will not be able to participate in the round of 16.

We can consider the use of Jung Woo-young (Stuttgart), who had a short playing time, and Moon Seon-min (Jeonbuk) and Yang Hyun-jun (Celtic), who stayed on the bench. If Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) is in good condition, replacing him to improve his performance is one of the options.

In order for Klinsmann to win, he must play five more games, including the final third game of the group stage. In order to manage the players' physical strength and create a good atmosphere, it is necessary to consider changes when there is time. The game against Malaysia is the last and only opportunity. 고스톱
