Malay reporter asks Kim Pang-gon, "Do you feel the pressure of being a coach?"

Middle Eastern reporter asks Klinsmann, "I avoided Korea and Japan." Iraqi reporters are upset after being eliminated in the round of 16, causing a group riot

 

There are repeated clashes between coaches and reporters at the '2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup'. As the situation started to become overheated and the situation was on the verge of physical conflict, the Asian Football Confederation took action.

 

The first team in this tournament where a conflict occurred between coaches and reporters was Malaysia, led by Korean coach Kim Pang-gon. 메이저-토토사이트

 

When Malaysia lost both the first and second group matches and was confirmed to have failed to advance to the round of 16, Malaysian reporters openly expressed their dissatisfaction with Coach Kim.

 

At a pre-press conference held on the 24th, a day before the Korean game, a Malaysian reporter asked, “Public opinion is criticizing tactical judgment and player selection. Do you have any intention of explaining this?” Another reporter asked, “Do you feel pressure from the position of director? “Do you think he will be able to lead Malaysia in the future?”

 

Coach Kim responded by saying, “We showed the best results in two years,” and “We led Malaysia to the Asian Cup finals for the first time in 43 years.”

 

Malaysia, who took on Korea in the third game, caused an upset of a 3-3 draw. After the game, Coach Kim pointed out to Malaysian reporters, “Yesterday they criticized me, but today they praise me.”

 

There were repeated local reports that the Korean team was trying to avoid Japan, the favorite for the championship. The gist of the report was that Korea deliberately drew with weak Malaysia and chose second place rather than first place in the group.

 

Finally, a day before the round of 16 match against Saudi Arabia, Middle Eastern reporters asked coach Jurgen Klinsmann a sarcastic question. A Middle Eastern reporter said, “Korea avoided Japan. When you lost a goal to Malaysia and faced Saudi Arabia, you smiled. But Saudi Arabia is a strong team. “What is the meaning of that laughter?” he asked.

 

In response, Coach Klinsmann said, “I had absolutely no intention or intention to avoid (Japan). “I never thought about that,” he responded, adding, “The reason I laughed was because I felt anxious about not being able to score a goal despite having a high possession rate, and that expression came out when I conceded a goal.”

 

In the Iraq national team, the coach and reporters came to the brink of physical conflict, and the reporters were kicked out of the competition venue. When Iraq was eliminated by Jordan in the round of 16 held on the 29th, Iraqi reporters rioted at the press conference after the game.

 

Iraqi reporters harshly criticized coach Jesus Casas. When Director Casas reacted bluntly, the reporters became even more excited, started shouting, got up from their seats, and disrupted the venue. Because of this, security personnel had to be dispatched.

 

After hearing this news, the Asian Football Confederation kicked out the Iraqi reporters in question from the venue. In a statement posted on its website on the 30th, the federation said, “The reporters who caused this incident will not be able to cover not only this tournament but also future tournaments hosted by the Asian Football Confederation.” He continued, “Reporting is a privilege that comes with ethical responsibilities,” and emphasized, “If you violate this, you will have to pay the price.”

 

In addition, the federation announced that it would strictly prohibit attacks on referees in the future. The federation said, “We condemn any form of threat, harassment, or disclosure of personal information toward referees and players,” and added, “Such actions run counter to the spirit of fair play and respectful attitude pursued by the Asian soccer community.” 토토사이트 순위
