Coach Klinsmann finally achieved his first win. However, apart from Son Heung-min’s outstanding performance, there are many points that need to be improved, and Coach Klinsmann, who had said he would remain in Europe, changed his schedule and decided to return home tomorrow.

[Korea 1:0 Saudi Arabia/national soccer team evaluation match]
The national team, desperate for victory, was active from the beginning.
In particular, Son Heung-min’s presence in the freeroll was overwhelming.
A ground ball in the first half led to Lee Ki-je’s shot, and three minutes later, a direct left-footed shot threatened the opponent.
Son Heung-min’s sense shone even in the scene of Cho Kyu-sung’s winning goal.
Instead of catching Lee Jae-seong’s pass, he let it go, opening up an opportunity for Hwang In-beom, and when this shot bounced off the defense, Cho Kyu-seong scored a goal.
Three minutes later, Son Heung-min had a chance to score a goal himself.
As he quickly entered the space behind the opponent’s defense and ran to the penalty box, the opponent had no choice but to tackle him. It was close to a penalty kick, but the referee did not call a foul and there was no video review as it was a friendly match.바카라
European statistical media gave the highest rating to Son Heung-min, who made seven key passes and two big chances.
After the game, a photo of him with an ice bag on his knee was released, causing concern, but it was reported that he was not injured.
Although they beat Saudi Arabia 1-0, they were faced with the task of reorganizing their defense, which was often broken, their attack, which lacked decisiveness, and their tactics, which were not detailed.
Initially, Coach Klinsmann planned to tour Europe to check on the players instead of returning home with his national team.
However, as if conscious of the criticism, they changed their schedule to return tomorrow and take care of the K League players first.
