The 2027 Asian Cup is just around the corner. This tournament will take place from January 7 to February 5. Since it is happening just a few months after the World Cup, we need efficient preparations.
Looking at the current situation of the South Korean national football team, there are questions about Coach Hong's leadership. During his tenure, the football style has not been appealing, and there are analyses suggesting that the players are not responding to his leadership. Additionally, to resolve the long-standing issues of the Korea Football Association, an objective external investigation is necessary.
Furthermore, the criteria for player selection should not be biased towards connections or reputation, but rather based on actual performance in matches. A good example is Hwang Hee-chan, who has been consistently selected for the national team despite sitting on the bench throughout the season, which is difficult to understand. More opportunities should be provided to younger players.
Lastly, the South Korean national football team needs to have a clear tactical identity. Teams like Japan, Iran, and Australia have a clear philosophy. We need to address this aspect as well.
If these issues are not resolved, it will be difficult to advance beyond the Round of 16. What are your thoughts?
