Korean national soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo is being criticized by the Korean public for holding two consecutive matches between Oman and Jordan. Coincidentally, it was around the same time. Mauricio Pochettino, the U.S. national team coach, is also being criticized by Americans for losing two matches in a row.
Pochettino, who is well known in Korea as well because he is the coach of Tottenham Hotspur where Son Heung-min plays. He led world-renowned clubs such as Chelsea of the U.K. and Saint-Germain of France, but Hong Myung-bo is not a leader who should be on the same team. It is illogical to compare who is better at coaching. It could be an insult to Pochettino.
The U.S., the host country of the World Cup, hired Pochettino after cutting its previous coach, who had no problems. Because of his stellar career, few people threw up about his appointment. However, Hong Myung-bo became the coach despite all kinds of controversies. He has been criticized for consistent opposition. The two players had a different start.
However, the two are the same as the coach is ruthlessly criticized when the national team plays a poor game. Pochettino recently lost 1-0 to Panama, ranked 36th in FIFA, and 2-1 to copyright, ranked 31st in the "Concaf Nations League" held in the United States.
■"You look confident, but...""Lack of results and a sense of reality."
Pochettino and Hong Myung-bo have similar reasons for being criticized. They are ahead of themselves and have no tactics.
Hong Myung-bo criticized Munich for Kim Min-jae's injury, saying, "Korea belongs to the easiest group. If Korea, ranked 23rd in the world, cannot beat countries such as Oman, Iraq and Palestine, ranked 80th without Kim Min-jae, it is not eligible to go to the World Cup."
When asked about his winless streak in his home turf, Hong replied, "It's hard to figure out exactly why. There is an atmosphere where I can't focus on something." "I can't define something either," he said. What does that mean? Why do you make ambiguous expressions that you don't even know? It is so irresponsible. He has been criticized for making many mistakes but has yet to change his mind.
U.S. soccer has never advanced to the quarterfinals or higher in a World Cup since the 2002 Seoul World Cup. However, Pochettino guaranteed his World Cup victory when he took charge of the U.S. in November last year: "The U.S. can become No. 1 in the world in the next five to 10 years. I'm sure. You have to believe that you can win the World Cup."
Pochettino lost to Panama. "It wasn't a game that really showed us," he said to disappointed Americans. Ahead of the match against copyright, he stressed, "We have to show our mental strength." However, he said, "We showed nothing in the match."
Pochettino apologized, saying, "I'm disappointed. I'm ashamed of my two losses," but asked the audience not to be "too pessimistic." However, he did not provide a clear justification for why the public should be optimistic. He only reiterated, "In football, anything can happen."
Pochettino's irresponsible shouting and loud puns finally blew up the Americans: "Even with Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe, what can we expect from a coach who failed to win the Champions League? The Pochettino era got off to a terrible start. It is no better than Gregg Berhalter. With his current skills, he is prematurely eliminated from the World Cup. If you keep going like this, you won't get a single win."
The U.S. is now calling its national team players the "golden generation" just like Korea. Pochettino's poor tactics are to blame for his repeated poor performances. It was not just a goal that lacked. Critics pointed out that the team lacked creativity, imagination, teamwork, determination, and passion. Critics also criticized the team's decision to replace the team in question. 안전놀이터
"I'm so sick of it." American soccer legend Landon Donovan, who led the U.S. to the quarterfinals during the 2002 World Cup Korea-Japan, was furious: "I'm so sick of hearing how talented a group these players are and how great a club they are playing for. If you have no interest in playing for a national team and you have no passion, just refuse to take the team. Talent is what matters, but pride is what matters."
