As expected, I'm the south Buddha. Jürgen Klinsmann criticized the English national team's struggling tactics.
He writes as a columnist for the British publication The Sun at Euro 2024.
In his column for The Sun on the 3rd (Korea Standard Time), he said, `The defeat against Switzerland in the quarterfinals of Euro 2024 is unacceptable. You have to try something different.
He expects Southgate to use a 4-4-2 formation with Harry Kane and Ivan Toney on the front line in the quarter-finals against Switzerland. I think it's going to work and if the coach feels that way, he should. You should trust your intuition and not hesitate to make a decision.
He has to do something different sometimes. I liked how Ivan Toney looked when he played against Slovakia. What should I do if the 4-2-3-1 formation (which England are using) doesn't work. You should always be open-minded. If you change the formation and it doesn't work, you can switch it back up again 'If Southgate sticks to his starting lineup and is 100% sure he can win, that's fine. However, you are the head coach of the national team. What's happening doesn't come back. That's why I have to change it. 'Now every game is a final, and if you have an intuition to use Ivan Toney or Cole Palmer or anyone else and don't act decisively, you will regret it.

It is a two-top system with Kane and another attacking partner, which is the most talked about. It's a 4-4-2 transition. Against Slovakia, England put Toni in second-half injury time, and the aerial strong Toni helped Kane to turn the tables with a header pass. In the end, Klinsmann emphasizes the two-top system and insists on changing the current system of Kane One-Top (4-2-3-1), which Southgate adheres to. It's an abstract argument that's nothing new.
According to his columnist, it is the height of 'Inward South Buddha'.
It's like that from the beginning. Defeat in the quarterfinals is unacceptable. You have to try something different.
After taking the helm of the Korean national team, he showed 'the height of incompetence' South Korea sought its first championship in 64 years just before the Asian Cup, but lost to Jordan one step down in the semifinals. I was quite anxious from the group qualifying round.
His formation was always 'consistency'. Only players who can use it mainly overseas were used. Players who play in the K League were not in mind. I didn't even look around properly in the first place.
In the end, simple tactics ate away at Korea's objective power. It stuck to the existing method at a time when changes were needed. It was the result of a combination of work negligence, lack of preparation, and lack of supervisory capacity represented by 'remote video conference'.
However, for England manager Gareth Southgate, he stressed that losing the tournament is unacceptable and that something different should be tried. In the Korean national team, he didn't try any changes.
Therefore, it does not make any sense to say that a coach of the national team should trust his intuition and not hesitate to make a decision. The word itself is true, but what he says is 'Urbanism'.
He said of Southgate: `You're coaching the national team, and what happens now doesn't come back. That's why I insist on changing it. Of course, it is a 'weird sound' that requires no explanation.
