“It’s really great that the players made a team with the coach and made it this far. Four is also really great.”
Even after losing possession, the national team defeated the top teams with ‘player-payback’ silly soccer and reached the quarterfinals.
Ahn praised the team for showing their own colors throughout the tournament with a long view, leading to the result.

“To reach the quarterfinals with this new tactic, which is not used by other coaches, (shows) that the players and coaches put in a lot of preparation and effort.”
Ahn, who has experience in the Italian league, also gave advice on areas that were disappointing, such as conceding goals.

“(The opponent) had a lot of numbers in the midfield and we were a little bit lacking in catching the part where they were attacking… We did well in dealing with the messy play, but we were a little bit shaky psychologically.”
Their opponents in the third and fourth place matches are Israel, the “surprise team” that defeated Brazil in the quarterfinals.
As a senior who experienced the third- and fourth-place matches at the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, he asked them to do their best until the end.토토사이트

“You might think that the third- and fourth-place games are meaningless, but it’s a game where the players can gain a lot of experience, and it’s a game that can help them when they go to the adult national team or their respective teams, so I would like to ask for a lot of support.”
