Korea is aiming for its first championship in 64 years since it won the second Asian Cup championship in 1960.

With the victory, Korea maintained an absolute advantage (12 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss) against Bahrain, and garnered three points from its first group match, signaling a good start. Korea and Bahrain are aiming to advance to the round of 16 teams in their records against Jordan and Malaysia in Group E.

The Asian Cup will feature 24 countries and will have group matches in six groups. The 12 teams ranking first and second in their respective groups will advance to the round of 16. The top four teams among the third-ranked teams in the group will also win tickets to the round of 16. If Korea tops Group E, its opponent in the round of 16 will be the second-ranked team in Group D.

It is one of Japan, Indonesia, Iraq, and Vietnam that belongs to Group D. If they rank second in their group, they will face No. 1 in Group F, which includes Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Kyrgyzstan, and Oman. Initially, the 2023 AFC Asian Cup was scheduled to be held in China in July last year. However, the venue was changed to Qatar in the wake of the COVID-19, and the timing has been postponed to early this year. It opened on the 12th and will be held until February 10.

The first round of a major championship is always important. It determines the overall atmosphere of a championship. First of all, the victory itself made me feel good. Although the team was lagging behind Korea's 23rd in FIFA rankings and 86th in Bahrain, the team still garnered a landslide victory. However, it was not very good at games.

Although the team won, it was not a cool game. It overwhelmed the Bahraini team in terms of possession, but lacked offense capability. Although Korea tended to play autonomous soccer instead of systematic build-up since Clinton's inauguration, the team's teamwork was not well established yet.

In fact, Korea accounted for 69 percent of the total throughout the match, more than double the number of passes taken by Bahrain. Rather, however, the number of touches in the box was not much different from that of Bahrain and Korea. Literally, even if the opponent team caught the ball, the situation was not developed properly.

Still, the aces shined as expected. In particular, Lee proved his value by scoring multiple goals. At the 11th minute of the second half when the score was 1-1, he caught Kim Min-jae's pass and fired a powerful mid-range left foot shot from far away from the box. The fast and accurate left foot shot was wrapped accurately and cut the net as it was.

Lee Kang-in did it in a frustrating situation. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Hwang In-beom caught the ball handed by Son Heung-min from Hwang and passed it toward Lee Kang-in, who was rushing from the right side. Lee Kang-in calmly fired a left-footed shot to score multiple goals. 안전 토토사이트

Except for the goal scene, Lee Kang-in dominated the game with his brilliant passes and dribbles. In particular, in the 28th minute of the second half, Lee Kang-in penetrated the opponent's camp with a crazy dribble breakthrough and delivered a perfect penetration pass to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min's shot was blocked by the opponent's goalkeeper, but it was a scene that was nothing short of a goal.

He showed no teamwork, but it was a great victory in terms of the results. Obviously, Coach Klinsmann can maximize the presence of the ace, not the coach who has strengths in tactics. He made this Asian Cup unstable as both the reputation and cancer of Coach Klinsmann came out properly from the match against Bahrain.
