Qatar Asian Cup came to an end, East Asia's top three China, Japan and South Korea have encountered the coach level "shock waves". Although Japan suffered Waterloo in the Asian Cup, but accidentally retained the coach Mori Baoichi; China's team in the Asian Cup after another handsome; South Korea, although lifted Klinsmann's position, but the road of the selection of the coach is still foggy.
The Korean media has analyzed this in depth. Addressing the Chinese team, the report states, "China's disappointing performance at the Asian Cup has led to the dismissal of foreign coach Jankovic. The coach, who has been in charge of the Chinese team since 2018, has been questioned for his poor performance in the preliminaries, warm-up matches and the Asian Cup. Chinese fans have criticized him for not only failing to lead the team to win the Asian Cup, but even failing to score goals. Regarding the candidate for the new coach, there are rumors that Cui Kangxi and Xu Zhengmo will be the hot candidates."
Talking about the Japanese team, the report commented, "Japan's failure to win the Asian Cup is considered to be the excessive pursuit of 'individualism'. Although the team is strong, the lack of fighting spirit has become their major weakness. Mori Boichi's performance during the World Cup in Qatar gave the JFA confidence in him and decided to give him more support. Mori was able to retain his position and the next challenge will be to rebuild the team's trust and reputation that was damaged by the Asian Cup."
As for the South Korean team, the report noted, "After the Asian Cup, the South Korean team was in disarray and Klinsmann was eventually fired. The outbreak of the Ping Pong Gate infighting incident also strained the team's relationship. On the issue of new managerial candidates, the Korean Football Association has not yet given a clear answer." Finally, the Korean media summarized the coaching problems of the three East Asian powerhouses after the Asian Cup: "The KFA has not explained the appointment of Klinsmann and the chaos during his coaching period, and has not asked Hyeonin to take responsibility."
