'Nail' Option Alternative

The South Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, will aim to win the Qatar Asian Cup for the first time in 64 years.

South Korea beat Bahrain 3-1 in the first Group E match on the 15th. In the match against Jordan on the 20th, it had a 2-2 draw. South Korea scored five goals during the two matches. The record itself is not bad. Looking at the details, the story is different. In the match against Bahrain, Hwang In-beom (Zvezda) and Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) scored three goals. In the match against Jordan, Son Heung-min (Tottenham) scored a penalty kick. Hwang In-beom added one goal by inducing the opponent's own goal. Unfortunately, there is no striker's goal yet in this tournament.

Coach Klinsmann has selected Oh Hyun-kyu (Celtic), Jung Woo-young (Stutgart), and Cho Kyu-sung (Mit Whelan) as strikers at this year's event. Among them, two are effectively leading the offense at the frontier, Oh Hyun-kyu and Cho Kyu-sung.

Cho Kyu-sung got the first chance to start the game. Cho started the game against Bahrain and Jordan for the second time in a row. However, he failed to score what he expected. Rather, he ended up in controversy over his decision-making ability. Cho was criticized for throwing away a critical chance at the end of the first half against Jordan.

The best solution is for strikers to score. "As a player, I should have shown better performance. I need to prepare better. I want to score in every game. Opportunities come. I have to make the best of it. I just need to do well. I will do well in the remaining games and score a goal," Cho said.

Oh Hyun-kyu also said, "It's a shame. I think I could have done enough in the team, but I feel responsible for not being able to do it. If I get a chance in the future, I will make sure to win. If we play, we have to score a goal. I think we have to overcome the pressure. I will make an effort to advance to the final."

Depending on the situation, another offensive option should be utilized. One alternative is the so-called "nail" that adopts Son Heung-min to the forefront. Son often played at the forefront of the national team and his team. In the match against Bahrain, Cho Kyu-sung also played as a one-top. He created an opportunity by targeting the opponent's back space with speed.

"I have to have a deep conversation with the players. I have a lot of homework to do. I think I have to do well in the next game," Klinsmann said.
