With the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup approaching in six months, the Korean national team, which is challenging to advance to the round of 16 for the first time in eight years, is already fiercely focusing on power analysis.

Coach Colin Bell (England) of the women’s soccer team said at a press conference held at the Seoul Soccer Center on the 26th, “In modern soccer, it is easy to collect information. Information on the World Cup group stage opponents has already begun to be collected and is in progress. “he said.

At the Women’s World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand for a month from July 20, Korea is set to compete in Group H with Germany, Colombia and Morocco.

The first game against Colombia is scheduled for July 25th, so it’s only half a year away.

Germany ranks second in the FIFA women’s rankings after the United States, the ‘world’s strongest’, while Colombia ranks 27th and Morocco ranks 76th. Korea, ranked 15th in the FIFA rankings, aims to advance to the round of 16 for the first time in eight years since the 2015 tournament in Canada.

Coach Bell said, “All three teams in Group H are organized and have distinct personalities. Germany has excellent physicality, and Colombia has a feeling of ‘raw football’. Morocco is a technically and well-organized team.”

He said, “We have to stick to our DNA and work hard. We need to be a team that is fast, active, and flexible while being organized. We want to be a team that makes it difficult for the opponent to predict. I don’t want to,” he said.

Next, coach Bell said, “Each team will play during the A-match period in February and April, and we plan to analyze all of these matches as well.”

An analysis of Germany, the candidate for first place in Group H, is where Bell’s experience will shine.

Bell was born in England but spent most of his football career in Germany. As coach of FFC Frankfurt in the German Women’s Bundesliga, she led the 2015 European Football Federation (UEFA) Women’s Champions League victory.

Coach Bell explained, “Germany includes some players I coached in the past, and information collection is well prepared. I will also try to collect information separately through acquaintances.” 스포츠토토

He added, “Coach Matt Ross, coach Park Yoon-jung, and excellent staff such as Jung-kwon power analyst are working hard day and night, so I think we will be able to collect information about each team more solidly.”

Coach Bell did not express his World Cup goal with figures such as ‘advancing to the round of 16’, but revealed his aspirations to go ‘as high as possible’.

He said, “My first goal is to win the first game against Colombia, and I want to focus on each game. It’s obvious to focus on one stage, but I think it’s a realistic and reasonable approach.” said.

He also emphasized, “If we play only what we want to do, we believe that we are competitive enough against any team in the world. I hope that the players will not be intimidated by thinking of themselves as small.” .
