Thierry Henry, head coach of France’s U-21 national team, who was completely defeated 0-3 by the South Korean Olympic soccer team led by Hwang Sun-hong, expressed regret, saying, “It was a terrible result.”
South Korea’s U-22 national team won 3-0 in an away friendly match against the French U-21 team at Stade Osean in Le Havre, France, on the morning of the 21st Korean time.
Jung Sang-bin (Minnesota), who plays for Major League Soccer (MLS) in the U.S. professional football, scored a fantastic free-kick in the 25th minute of the second half and scored an additional goal nine minutes later, becoming the top contributor to the victory.
Hong Yoon-sang (Pohang) scored a wedge goal in the extra time of the second half to complete his team’s great victory. 경마
Coach Henri, a former “legendary goalscorer,” played prospects for prestigious clubs such as Matisse Tel (Bayern Munich) and Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain), but was completely defeated after a poor performance.
According to local media outlet Footmercato, Henri told L’Equipe after the match, “The second and third runs were really ridiculous. How can you handle Cross like that…He expressed his regret.
Chung Sang-bin’s second score was also caused by the opponent’s defender’s failure to properly clear Cho Hyun-taek’s cross from the left side.
Coach Henri, who looked back at the third run due to a mistake from the back, said, “The last goal speaks for itself. “There is a realistic part of soccer, so if you create many opportunities and don’t score, you give the opponent a chance to fight back,” he said.
“The free-kick (that allowed a point) was still beautiful, but I was able to avoid the rest of the runs.” “We have to learn this part,” he said, adding, “In terms of pitching, it wasn’t difficult to play better than the game in Austria, but the results are terrible now.”
Earlier, France’s U-21 national team was completely defeated 0-2 in an away match against Austria in the UEFA U-21 Championship qualifying match on the 18th.
Henri was appointed as France’s representative coach by age in August.
He was the world’s best striker, scoring 175 goals in the English Premier League alone for eight seasons before signing with Barcelona in 2007.
In the 2002-2003 season, he scored 24 goals and 20 assists, the only “single season 20 points – 20 assists” in league history, and in the 2003-2004 season, when Arsenal won the undefeated championship, he scored 30 goals in the league alone to become the top scorer.
