In the Asian Cup in Qatar, China, Japan and South Korea's soccer team has suffered a "shocking" challenge, the three East Asian powerhouses in the tournament after the end of the start of the respective national team lineup to make drastic adjustments. Japan suffered during the Asian Cup fans questioned, but still decided to retain the position of the head coach Mori Bao Yi; China is once again on the road to replace foreign coaches; as for the South Korean team, despite the firing of Klinsmann, but the team's internal problems are still present, the new coach has not yet surfaced. The Korean media has analyzed this in depth, revealing the latest trend of the three countries in the selection of coaches.
In response to the Chinese team, South Korean media noted, "The Chinese team suffered yet another turnover of foreign coaches after the Asian Cup. Jankovic, who has been involved in Chinese soccer since 2018, was eventually swept out of the team due to his lackluster performances in qualifiers, warm-up matches and the Asian Cup. Chinese fans have been criticizing him in waves for not only failing to help the team win the Asian Cup, but for not even scoring goals for the team." Immediately after that, the Korean media revealed the names of several coaches who have been rumored to be in the running with the Chinese team, "After Yankovic's dismissal, the names of coaches such as Choi Kang-hee and Seo Jung-mo were also frequently mentioned."
Talking about the Japanese team, the Korean media commented: "Japan's failure to win the Asian Cup is widely regarded as a result of over-reliance on 'individualism'. Despite the fact that most of the team members are European Union players, the strength of the absolute advantage, but the performance in the Asian Cup has been criticized for the lack of proper fighting spirit. Mori's performance at the Qatar World Cup made the JFA choose to continue to trust him and promise him more support. Mori Bao'ichi has retained his position, and the next challenge he has to face is how to repair the trust and reputation damaged by the Asian Cup."
As for the South Korean team, the South Korean media further analyzed: "After the Asian Cup, the South Korean team quickly fell into disarray, the voice of Klinsmann's dismissal, the team's internal 'ping-pong door' incident is even more fuel to the fire. Under the pressure of public opinion, the Korean Football Association finally on the 16th dismissed Klinsmann's position, which also contributed to the reconciliation of Son Heung-miao and Lee Gang-in. However, the choice of the new coach remains a mystery." After analyzing the situation of the national teams of the three countries, the Korean media concluded, "The KFA did not give a reasonable explanation for Klinsmann's appointment and the chaotic situation of his coaching, nor did it hold Hyeon-in accountable."
