AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023/ South Korea Coach: Happy to Win Match against Bahrain

Doha, January 15 (QNA) - German Jurgen Klinsmann, coach of the South Korean national team, expressed his delight at winning over the Bahrain team at the start of its campaign in the Group E of the AFC Asian Cup Qatar 2023. The South Korean team temporarily topped the Group E standings with 3 points, and within the same group, Jordan will meet later today with Malaysia at Al Janoub Stadium. Klinsmann revealed in a statement during a press conference that they had to perform well and appear satisfactory, adding that they faced great difficulties in the match against the Bahrain team, and that they were afraid of getting more yellow cards and that is why he preferred to replace some players. He also believed that the referee exaggerated in some decisions. He pointed out that it is difficult to predict the playoff matches, and he will continue to work hard as well as correcting some of the mistakes of today's match. In turn, Lee Kang-in, the South Korean team player, said he was happy for the victory at the opening of the campaign. He pointed out that the match was not easy at all, given the good level shown by the opposing team. Crowned the best player in the match, Kang-in stated that he learned a lot from the experienced players in the national team, especially captain Son Heung-min, and they have to develop the style. The Paris Saint-Germain player indicated that he hopes that his country will be able to win the continental title, especially since the fans in the country are waiting for this after a long absence. The second round of group matches will take place on Saturday, when Jordan plays South Korea and Bahrain meets Malaysia. (QNA)
