SEOUL - South Korea coach Yoon Duk-yeo said his side would have to take their 4-0 drubbing in their women’s World Cup opener against France on the chin and turn their minds immediately to their second match against Nigeria.
Yoon conceded that his team had been well beaten by the tournament hosts in front of 45,261 fans at Parc des Princes on Friday, paying for their lack of experience in playing the superpowers of the women’s game. Yoon admitted that conceding so many goals in their opener had hurt South Korea’s chances of getting through to the knockout stages for the second time after 2015 as one of the four best third-placed teams in the group phase.
“She doesn’t have much experience, and even though she gave up some goals, playing in a match like this should help her in the long run,” the coach said.
