Korean National Football Team Aims for Victory Against Bahrain in Asian Cup Opener

Attention is being paid to whether the Korean national football team, aiming to win the Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years, can comfortably win against Bahrain in the Asian Football Confederation opener 2023 (AFC) Asian. Cup. The national football team led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann will play the first leg of the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup Group E against Bahrain at the Jassim bin Hamad Stadium in Doha, Qatar, at 8:30 pm (time Korea) on the 15th. Since Klinsmann is evaluated as having the best power of all time, an easy victory is expected. This is because there are players who show their best skills in the European ‘big league’, including ‘Chuncheon Duo’ Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint- Germain), and Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), have joined the national team. In the FIFA rankings, there is a big gap between Korea at 23rd and Bahrain at 86. Korea has an absolute advantage in international matches with a record of 11 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss.

But you can’t let your guard down. Korea were particularly weak against the Middle Eastern team they met in the Asian Cup. In the 2000 Lebanon Tournament, they lost to Saudi Arabia in the semi-finals, and in the 2004 China Tournament, they bowed out to Iran in the quarter-finals. At the 2007 Southeast Asian Games, they lost to Iraq in a penalty shoot-out in the semi-finals. Specifically, in the previous 2019 UAE tournament under former coach Paulo Bento (currently the head coach of the United Arab Emirates (UAE)), they led 1-0 against Bahrain in the round of 16, but conceded an equalizer in the second half. and had to go to overtime.
