“The result was disappointing, but the performance was good.”
The South Korean women’s national soccer team won 2-1 against the Philippines in the second match of a friendly exhibition at the Icheon Sports Complex on Monday, but the head coach was disappointed with the result.
After the game, Bell said, “The content was good, but the result was disappointing. We could have made it 7-0, 8-0 if we played well. In the second half, we became rigid, passive, and conceded a free kick. It’s part of soccer. In soccer, the score says everything. I’m disappointed about that, but I’m happy with the way we played,” concluded the coach.
Instead of the 40-year-old ‘veteran’ Kim Jung-mi (Incheon Hyundai Steel), the goalkeeper was Choi Ye-seul (Gyeongju Hansuwon), born in 1997. Accepting the challenge of ‘generational change’, Bell said, “We are analyzing numerical data on goalkeepers, from goalkeeping coaches and elementary schools to unemployment. “We’re looking at the numbers, but we’re definitely underrepresented. There are not enough goalkeeping coaches and registered players. There is a relative lack of opportunities. Kim has always been able to play for the national team because she is good. We are analyzing and collecting data, starting with the recent Asian Cup in Uzbekistan. We will find time to share this data internally.”
The ‘youngsters’ were used less than in the first game. Casey Eugene Fair and Chun Garam, who started Game 1, started the game off the bench. Fair came on as a second-half substitute, while Chun did not see the field.
