South Korea wants to improve

The South Korea football federation has unveiled a plan to will help improve the level of football in the country.


Ever since their good performance at the 2002 World Cup, the national team has been struggling to replicate the same performance in international competition.

Fernando Torres happily moved to San Siro

Fernando Torres has made it clear that nobody forced him to go to San Siro. He made that call himself.

There have been talks that Jose Mourinho, the manager of Torres’ parent club Chelsea, forcefully placed the Spanish striker on loan to Milan.

As per Torres, Mourinho has never treated him rudely. His relationship with the Portuguese manager is quite fine.
Talking to the reporters yesterday, “Jose’s behaviour towards me has been good. I don’t have any complains. As far as me moving to Milan is concerned, it was my own decision. I wasn’t forced.”

Stielike thinks they can beat Costa Rica

South Korea might have been 48 positions below Costa Rica in the FIFA World rankings, but, Uli Stielike, the man who has recently taken charge of the team, believes that the Asian giants have every chance of emerging victorious in the friendly game against the Central Americans.
That game is going to be played next week in the capital city of Seoul.
Stielike’s tenure as the South Korea boss has already started on a winning note. In his first game in charge a couple of nights back against Paraguay, his team won by a margin of 2 goals.

Yong-Soo Reveals Shortlist

Hong Myung Bo was the latest manager to take charge of the South Korean national football team but his stay as the head coach of the squad did not last very long as he was appointed as the coach on June 24 of 2014 as the board of directors of the team wanted him to prepare the squad for the 2014 World Cup but after not managing to win a single match and finishing at the bottom of Group H, Myung Bo resigned from his position on July 10 of the same year. His time as the manager of the national side did not last even for 1 month.

MORE ADVENTUROUS

South Korea national team manager Choi Kang-Hee has said that his team should play a little more adventurous football when they take on Lebanon in the second World Cup qualifying match in Goyang.

South Korea managed a very convincing 4-1 win over Qatar. As a result, they have gained strong foothold in the final qualification round. However, manager Choi Kang-Hee has said that the game against Lebanon will certainly not be as easy as the match against Qatar given that they are likely to play on the counter-attack and defend a lot.
