Attack is fine, but defense needs to be raised

“The World Cup has always been a challenge for the Korean national team. We always have to go beyond the team stronger than us to the next round. Fortunately, the national team has the experience of advancing to the round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa following the quarter-finals of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup.”
Lee Young-pyo, vice president of the Korea Football Association (CEO of Gangwon FC), said this in a phone call with the Hankyoreh on the 28th. Vice Chairman Lee was a member of Shinhwa in the quarter-finals of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup and had a lot of experience dealing with world-class strikers while playing as a defender at Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League. He expected, “The experience of the Korean national team since 2002 will instill confidence in them that they can overcome strong opponents in this tournament as well.”
Ahead of this tournament, 무료스포츠중계 the Korean national team formed the best attacking team from Europe, including Heung-Min Son (Tottenham Hotspur), Hee-Chan Hwang (Wolverhampton), and Ui-Jo Hwang (Olympiacos). However, compared to the top-class national team filled with the best strikers from major European big clubs, there is a difference in overall weight. In the end, Heung-Min Son has no choice but to do it.

Son Heung-min, who was the top scorer in the English Premier League last season, has scored in four of the last five matches for the check here national team. As well as field goals utilizing both his feet and his head, he's been an all-rounder with exquisite free-kick goals that the goalkeeper can't get his hands on. After scoring the winning goal in the match against Cameroon on the 27th, which was the final mock test of the World Cup, he burns his will, saying, "I got the most desired result from the third run (evaluation match)." He struggled early in the Premier League this season, but scored a hat-trick in the 13th minute against Leicester City just before the match. In the last 10 days, including Premier League and national team matches, he has scored 5 goals in 3 matches, raising the sense of play.
In defense, Kim Min-jae (Napoli) holds up. This season, he entered Serie A (A), an Italian professional league that is famous for having a high defensive wall, and is drawing praise from the European media by building a 'wailing wall'. However, in the national team, gaps in his defensive organization between Kim Min-jae and other players are being revealed. Another key is the midfielder. In June, after Korea lost 1-5 in the evaluation match against Brazil, FIFA pointed out on its website that "the root cause of Brazil's disastrous loss is that the active pressure that Bento has pursued so far has not been implemented." As the current power cannot be suddenly transformed, the remaining 50 days until the World Cup must be filled with tactics, strategy, and organization as much as possible.
