The Korean national football team recreated the “Sapporo disaster” 10 years ago, and this time suffered “Yokohama humiliation”.
The soccer team, led by coach Paulo Bento, lost 0-3 in a friendly match against Japan held at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama, Japan on the 25th. A 0-3 scoreless loss with the same score as 10 years ago.
In the era of Corona 19, it was the 80th confrontation between Korea and Japan, which was difficult to achieve, but the Taegeuk warriors were really humiliated for a helpless match without making a threatening chance for the entire 90 minutes of the first and second half.
Due to the defeat on this day, Korea could not continue the rise of two consecutive wins against Korea and Japan, and recorded 42 wins, 23 draws and 15 losses in the past.
Although it has been 10 years since the Sapporo disaster, the Bento has not shown anything. In terms of content, it was more humiliating than the disaster 10 years ago. They were constantly pushed back by Japanese pressure, and there was no tactic to break through them.
Even though the attack power was dulled by the vacancy of Europeans such as Son Heung-min and Hwang Eui-jo, it was too helpless.
As the breathing between the players was not properly matched, it gave the first point, and as Korea’s unique flank breakthrough disappeared, it could not create a threatening attack.
Above all, the’fighting spirit’ peculiar to the Korea-Japan War to reverse the jeonse in a situation of being dragged was not exhibited.
Manager Bento came up with an unprecedented tactic of setting midfielder Lee Kang-in (Valencia) as a zero-top (a tactic in which the midfielder instead of a professional striker participates in the front-line attack), but it did not work for the Japanese defense.
In the 16th minute of the first half, Korea gave the opening goal to Miki Yamane, and in the 27th minute of the first half, Japan’s counterattack defeated the defenders at once and again conceded against Kamada.
After finishing the first half with a 0-2 lag, Korea struck back for a while at the beginning of the second half, but failed to reach a goal, and eventually collapsed with a heading goal to Endo in the 37th minute of the second half.
One shot in the first half and one effective shot in the first half were the objective power that the national team showed on this day. By the way, the effective shooting from the record in the 39th minute of the second half was also not threatening.
After returning home on the afternoon of the 26th, the Bento will immediately go to the Paju NFC (National Team Training Center) and continue training by quarantining the same group (cohort) until the 2nd of next month.
