The national soccer team will have its third Asian Cup group match against Malaysia tomorrow evening.

Is there any change to the frontline offense that was silent in the first and second games?


If they don't suffer a crushing defeat, they are most likely to advance to the round of 16.

The problem is that the schedule will change with the opponent in the future depending on whether you are first or second in the group.

First of all, coach Klinsmann's goal is clear.

"Winning against Malaysia is the most important thing. And then we can talk about that. First of all, the goal is to go to the round of 16 as the top of the group."

For the national team, which needs a multi-score victory, attention is being paid to whether it will change the offense.

Cho Kyu-sung, who was started in the front line in the last two games, failed to record a single shot on goal as he missed several decisive scoring opportunities, and Oh Hyun-kyu, who was replaced in the match against Jordan, also had only two inaccurate shots.

"First of all, I think we need to be more calm in the goal area. I think we need to focus more and score goals in the goal area."

As Hwang Hee-chan, who was absent due to a hip muscle injury, is preparing to play in Game 3 with normal training, Hwang Hee-chan as a left-side striker and Son Heung-min as a front-line one-top is emerging as an alternative.

It is best for Son Heung-min, who is ranked third in the league in scoring by playing as a one-top for his team Tottenham, to maximize his goal-making power at the moment.

"Son Heung-min in particular knows how to play on his own. If he doesn't have enough space, he will move to the right and left sides and play."

Multiple points are important, but if you prepare for the tournament, the possibility of key members such as Kim Min-jae, Hwang In-beom, and Park Yong-woo being absent is also raised in consideration of warning management and physical arrangement.
