Coach Klinsman, who took over at the end of February, is yet to win. After playing for the first time, they won 1 draw and 2 losses in 3 games.

Coach Klinsman looked back, saying, “The game against Peru was completely lost in a one-on-one fight until the 30th minute in the first half. It was a game that was chased by conceding the first goal.” “Tomorrow, I told the players not to lose on the ground We have to win in Also, in the last game, there were difficulties because the whole defensive line has changed, but it is important to get the players to sync as soon as possible.”
