Kang-in Lee, the zero top of’clothes that don’t fit your body’

The Bento was completely defeated one day before the 80th. It is because of the lethargy offensive power. But even more regrettable was the zero-top tactic, which was completely read by Japan (a tactic in which the midfielder instead of the professional striker joins the front line offensive).

This is a number that shows the helpless attack power of the Bento, which fought the 80th Korean and Japanese battle. The Korean soccer team, led by coach Paulo Bento, lost 0-3 after a hard fight in the A-match evaluation match against Japan held at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan on the 25th. While Japan made 10 shots, Korea only scored one.

Korea scored two goals in the first half only and gave up early victory. It was an unprecedented tactic to set midfielder Lee Kang-in (Valencia) to the zero top, but it did not work for the Japanese defense.

Lee Kang-in in the front grabbed the ball and intended to pass the ball again to Lee Dong-jun (Ulsan Hyundai) and Na Sang-ho (FC Seoul) on both sides. But it didn’t work at all. Japan’s central defenders Maya Yoshida and Tomiyas struggled because of the physical force behind Lee Kang-in. It was difficult to compete with defenders who were 1m73cm and more than 10cm taller than Lee Kang-in himself. The scene was often isolated and came down to the center line and received a ball.

In the end, let alone the attack, it was not easy to play linkage in Joongwon. Losing his confidence, he was tired at the end of the first half. Bento replaced Lee Kang-in, who did not show much performance in the first half, in the second half.

Fans who wanted to see Lee Kang-in playing in the main position of the attacking midfielder or the central midfielder in the second half were disappointed. Lee Kang-in, who traveled long distances from Spain amid the spread of Corona 19, left the ground alone after running for 45 minutes wearing clothes that did not fit the body.
