Brentford have expressed their excitement about Kim Ji-Soo, 19, who was called up to the South Korean national soccer team.
Brentford took to their official social media on Wednesday (July 13) to share a quote from Jürgen Klinsmann, the head coach of the South Korean national soccer team, about Kim Ji-Soo. The comments were made while Klinsmann was training with Brentford.
According to the report, Klinsmann said of Kim: “We know the kid. He was outstanding at the U-20 World Cup,” Klinsmann said, adding, “He’s a very promising young player who has broken through at that level.”
“Kim is in the best position at Brentford because they know how to develop young players,” he said, “He trained very well. At first he was a bit shy, as you would expect, but after two or three days he came out of his shell and it was a real pleasure to work with him.”
Klinsmann faced Wales at Cardiff City Stadium in Cardiff, England, on Aug. 8. Afterward, Klinsmann traveled to London, England, instead of traveling to Newcastle to face his next opponent, Saudi Arabia.
Before heading to Newcastle, Klinsmann trained at Kim Ji-soo’s team, Brentford, to prepare for the Saudi match. The team was originally scheduled to play an exhibition match against Mexico in London, but the venue was canceled.
