Tasnim – SEOUL, South Korea’s national football team’s coach Shin Tae-yong says that his plan didn\u2019t work against Iran in the World Cup qualifying campaign at home.<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Korea failed to defeat 10-man Iran at Seoul World Cup Stadium in Group A but still remained in position to secure its ninth consecutive trip to football’s showpiece event with one match remaining in the final Asian qualifying round against Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n

“Since we failed to score, I have to say my plan didn’t work,” he said. “We tried to turn the tide with substitutions and score a goal, but we couldn’t do it.”<\/p>\n

“It’s a pity that we couldn’t score, but I want to thank our players who gave their best,” Shin said after the match. “I knew we were going to have a difficult match against Iran that have shrewd players with good physical abilities.”<\/p>\n

The 48-year-old coach is known for his attacking style of football, but Shin said his team played defensively a little bit against Iran due to the visitors’ counterattack ability.<\/p>\n

“Iran’s attackers like to run down the pitch a lot up front, so I was aware of their quick attack,” he said. “We didn’t go forward from the start, because if we conceded a goal first, we knew it was going to be a very difficult game.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
