Commentator Lee Keun-ho, a former member of the South Korean national soccer team, pointed out that "the saddest reality is that we don't have ours" over Hong Myung-bo Team's March A-match warm-up match, which ended with all two losses.

Coupang Play commentator Lee Keun-ho said after losing 0-1 to Austria at Ernst Havel Stadium in Vienna, Austria on the 1st (Korea time), "We played many games from the preliminary round (under coach Hong Myung-bo). As a result, the World Cup is less than three months away, he said.

Hong Myung-bo Team, which lost 0-4 to Ivory Coast on the 28th of last month, only changed its player composition to the same tactic on the same day. South Korea, which finished 0-0 in the first half, allowed a first run in the third minute of the second half and lost without shaking the net. It is the first time in eight years since 2018 that they have lost all two consecutive A matches as a national team.

In particular, coach Hong Myung-bo used four-back tactics during the last World Cup qualifying round, but after the World Cup qualifying round, he is using three-back tactics in most games. However, there were not a few games where defensive instability was prominent, such as 0-5 defeat against Brazil last year and 0-4 defeat against Ivory Coast, and he bowed his head as he lost in Austria's away game.

Commentator Lee Keun-ho criticized, "We have to prepare for the World Cup because what can be called Plan A is complete, but I still feel like I'm looking for something."

Commentator Jang Ji-hyun, who explained the game together, also pointed out, "We need to think about the operation that can make the most of the players' strengths and what suits us," adding, "I think the new coach should challenge change until the end with the mindset of making a new round."
