Bento Tactic ‘build football’
There are many people who are confused by the coach Paulo Bento insisting that goalkeeper Kim Seung-kyu over such goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo, but the biggest reason is that Bento pursues ‘Building football’ because.
Coach Bento has pursued build-up football, which creates attacking opportunities based on a lot of activity and passing, instead of the strategy of focusing on defense and then aiming for the counter-attack, which Korea has been using . In particular, Bento emphasizes building up from the back, starting with our goal post and developing an attack.
To do this, the keeper As well as the ability to save, foot skills are also required.There are. For this reason, Kim Seung-gyu, who has relatively good footwork, played an active role as the main goalkeeper under Bento’s training system.
this flow Not only in Korea, but also all over the worldIt is also. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who is considered a world-renowned manager, is also a representative manager who appreciates the goalkeeper’s feet.

Instead of Joe Hart, who is the main goalkeeper of the national team, Claudio Bravo, who has excellent footwork and excellent construction skills, was brought in from Barcelona and appointed.I did it.
It was an unconventional decision, as Joe Hart was the ‘heart’ of Manchester City at the time. That means a goalkeeper’s footwork is key to tactics.
Kim Seung-gyu, who had good defensive skills

In the first place, until 2018, when Jo Hyun-woo appeared as Shin Tae-yong-ho’s ‘surprise star’, Kim Seung-gyu was also the national team’s main goalkeeper.
In terms of actual records, Kim Seung-gyu has been better than Cho Hyeon-woo over the past four years. After taking over as Bento coach in August 2018, Kim Seung-gyu played in 34 A games and allowed 16 goals. There were 23 scoreless games.
0.47 goals conceded per game. The unscored percentage is as high as 67%. This is better than Jo Hyun-woo, who scored 16 goals in 13 A games and recorded 4 shutouts in the same period, giving up 1.23 goals per game and 30% shutouts.
