'Vietnam team causes many difficulties for Korea'

The Korean team had a resounding 6-0 victory over the Vietnamese team at Suwon World Cup Stadium on the evening of October 17. Coach Jurgen Klinsmann's team showed their superior strength when they overwhelmed their opponents and scored 6 goals, all from well-organized and beautiful attacks.

This is the third consecutive victory for South Korea, after the dominant matches against Tunisia (4-0) and Saudi Arabia (1-0). However, coach Klinsmann still believes that the Vietnamese team caused difficulties for his team.

"Many people may say it was an easy match because the result was 6-0, but it was a very difficult match for the Korean team. The Vietnamese team also had many chances to score in the first and second half. If the two teams play again tomorrow, I don't know what the result will be. It was a very difficult match for Korea compared to the result.

I want to show respect to the Vietnamese team. I appreciate the fact that they gave their all on the field," coach Klinsmann affirmed.

The German strategist also assessed: "In the last two matches, the Korean team met opponents playing with 5 defenders. Among the opponents that Korea will face in the World Cup qualifiers, there will be teams with solid defenses.

I think through the last two games, I have found a solution to counter defensive teams. The Korean players have to keep thinking about how we will handle the game. It is important that we have a plan to prepare according to the opponent. The positive thing is that we have tried to find the answer."

Coach Klinsmann affirmed that the players must be quick, move flexibly and strongly to overcome the opponent's defense.

"I think the Korean team needs to attack on the wings to penetrate teams that defend in large numbers. When they gain possession of the ball, Korea will launch an attack with one or two touches.

In front of the opponent's goal, the players have to move aggressively to create opportunities. In this aspect, the Korean players did well. We have learned how to prepare for the teams we will face in the future," coach Klinsmann emphasized.

"I am very happy that the players showed professionalism. I appreciate the players' attitude and concentration in the match. I am happy that the Korean team scored 6 goals and achieved the desired result.

The important thing is that the players showed what they did on the training ground. I appreciate this point in my students. Today's match is the last friendly match before the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. I think this is a match that shows how we have prepared before the preliminary round. The Korean team has had 10 days with many positive signals," the German strategist concluded.
