Kim Hak-beom-ho, who wanted to decorate the campaign with a brilliant victory, bowed his head in the match against France yesterday (16th).
In the 18th minute of the second half, Kwon Chang-hoon's penalty kick opened the scoring to 'Kangho' France, but Hwang Ui-jo's goal sense did not live up to expectations, so he could not break through and the defense was seriously shaken at the end of the game.
In the 38th minute of the second half, he conceded one-touch passes through the loose defense and allowed Muani to equalize, and six minutes later, a defensive error continued and he collapsed on his own.
In a situation where the ball was lost with an inaccurate backpass, the defense only stepped back and gave up space, and goalkeeper Song Bum-geun, whom he trusted, made a fatal error.
After the match against Argentina, he conceded two goals in a row and suffered a comeback defeat.
As Kim Min-jae's joining was canceled due to opposition from his team, concerns about defensive instability grew.
Manager Kim Hak-beom selected Sangmu's defender Park Ji-soo as his new wild card and moved to the decisive battlefield.
[Park Ji-soo/Defender of the Olympic soccer team: I will do my best to adapt quickly as I joined late, and I will devote myself to the team with the spirit of a soldier.]
[Kim Hak-beom/Olympic soccer team coach: I promise to put all my strength in one place and produce good results.]
Hak-beom Kim, who entered Tokyo with a focus on quarantine, untied himself in Kashima and started preparing for the first round against New Zealand.
