The South Korean U23 National Team players line up for the national anthem ahead of the 2024 U23 Asian Cup match Japan vs South Korea at the Jassim Bin Hamad Stadium, Al Rayyan, Qatar, on Monday (22/4/2024).

2. Shin Tae-yong is the strength of the Indonesian national team

Shin Tae-yong’s greatness was recognized by South Korea U23 coach Hwang Seon-hong.

Before Indonesia’s match against South Korea, Hwang Seon-hong said that the advantage of the Indonesian national team was that it had coach Shin Tae-yong.

“One of Indonesia’s advantages is that it is led by coach Shin Tae-yong. Coach Shin has been with the players for a long time. “The opponent is organized and solid,” he said, as reported by News1 Korea.

This was proven during the match, Shin Tae-yong’s team was not intimidated by South Korea’s game.

3. Shin Tae-yong, the coach that South Korea misses

Media Footballist released an article entitled, “Shin Tae-yong, the coach missed by the federation six years ago, changed the history of Korean football” on Friday (6/4/2024).

In the article, Shin Tae-yong is said to have changed South Korea’s fate to advance to the 10th Olympics in a row.

The coach from South Korea thwarted his own national team’s dream of qualifying for the semifinals of the U23 Asian Cup.

The half-century-old coach managed to get South Korea stuck in a simple three-back format and played football with a focus on long passes.

So it doesn’t have a chance because of the wide gap between attack and defense.

On the other hand, Indonesia used a precise combination of fast and deep attacks and directed the ball around the Korean penalty box.

Shin Tae-yong’s tactics were like a declaration that Indonesia was no longer a weak team.

Indonesia created a 3-2-4-1 formation with both wing defenders standing upright in ground ball situations. This tactic is similar to recent modern football and is an efficient example of stabilizing the back line while gradually advancing the ball towards the offensive line.

Personally, reporter Heejun Kim stated that Shin Tae-yong was a talent that South Korea had missed. He is the coach that South Korea misses.

Because Shin Tae-yong grew and developed his abilities by leading the Korean national team for each age group.

However, he was relieved of his duties after being judged to have failed at the 2018 World Cup even though in the last match he won over the previous defending champions Germany 2-0.
