Sidenote: today's FIFA+ commentator had a tough time with Korean names. Called Kim Ye-geon Lee Bin at one point 😂

Glad Baek Gi-tae was able to find a way to get Kim Ji-sung + Kim Ye-geon on the pitch together. Turnovers were an issue at the U17 Asian Cup.

While not infallible, those two + addition of Kim Do-min help a lot in possession.

🇨🇮 STANDOUTS

• Obli Mederic: athletic front-footed CB
• Dan Dos Yeboue: lanky ball winner, solid mix of possession skills + athleticism
• Hubert Yao: 190 cm tall winger, flashes of potential but a bit raw

🇰🇷 STANDOUTS

• Kim Ji-sung: scored a wonder goal, should've had an assist
• Lim Ye-chan: did well with a tough tactical role & inverting often, picked up an assist
• Kim Eun-seong: drew a late penalty, offered much-needed size out wide

THINGS TO IMPROVE

• Ball retention, progression: seemed a bit unnerved by Ivorian length/power in 1st half
• CB duo has been solid this tournament, but can still improve timing & communication
• Kim Ye-geon's gravity still vital, but he's yet to score or assist so far
November 10, 2025 at 2:59 PM
THE GOOD

• Efficient goalscoring continues: 3G from 8 shots
• Discipline and a compact defense made the difference between the two sides
• Substitute impact: 2G, 1 penalty drawn

Yeah no biggie haha. Tbf I've been busy and didn't post for a month on here. Guessing that's why the algorithm didn't bump my posts up. But appreciate the help with the reposts 👍
