On the 4th (Korea time), China's Sohu Dotcom shed light on Klinsmann's rumors that he could become a new coach candidate for the Chinese national soccer team. The media said 'With several names being mentioned, it is Clinsman who became the most talked about. The 61-year-old German coach recently split from the South Korean national team and has been mentioned by some as a `potential candidate' for the Chinese national team.
As expected, Sohu did not stop praising Klinsmann's reputation as a player. 'Clinsman enjoyed a huge reputation as a player. He played as a key striker for the German national team and was nicknamed the "Golden Bomber". Fans in the 1970s and '80s remember everything he played,' Klinsmann admitted with certainty.
The problem is a career as a manager. No results have been made since advancing to the semifinals at the 2006 World Cup when he was the head coach of the German national team. However, Sohu said 'Clinsman's relationship with Asian soccer began when he took over the Korean national team. It is difficult to say that those days were successful, but it has an advantage in that it at least understood some of the style, rhythm, and problems of the Asian team. This is definitely superior to foreign coaches who have no experience in Asia at all, he said, adding that Klinsmann has an advantage in this area because he has experienced Asian soccer while coaching South Korea.

But Sohu says 'If Klinsmann comes, there are a lot of people who think it will make a new difference. His tactics are neither defensive nor a style trapped in the existing framework. Looking at the current situation of the Chinese national team, it is an atmosphere that there is nothing to lose even if a new method is tried. Coach Klinsmann plays aggressive soccer, but the system is not well felt in it. You can see why I couldn't continue my career as a leader before I took over in Korea.

Finally, Sohu said 'This is all still in the imagination stage. There is no official information at all whether Klinsmann is interested or if the Chinese Football Association is willing to play. But there is already a heated debate among fans. There are people who say, "He's the answer." "It's the same as anyone."'There is also a cynical look at it,' he added. If Klinsmann really heads to China, it will be an interesting point when he meets Korean soccer again. It may feel like a revenge match that ruined Korean soccer.
