South Korea was expected to make it to Qatar this time around and their displays in the Qualifiers reinforced the same notion. They finished second in their group just behind Iran and only lost one game out of the 10 that they played. They were not at their best in front of goal as they only managed 13 strikes in 10 games which were enough for them but they will need to be more clinical in front of goal. Although, their defense was quite decent, conceding only 3 goals in all their games.
TEAM NEWS
South Korea should be starting in a 4-2-3-1 formation with their hero, Son at the tip of their attack. They are a team that likes to keep the ball but wants to progress to the opponent’s box as quickly as possible, so, the long ball is quite a lethal weapon in their armory.
They always have people running in behind, trying to get into a 1v1 with the goalkeeper, or getting isolated with the fullbacks so that they can take them on, get past them, and shoot or pass to their teammates. Pressing up the pitch is also something that they employ against certain teams but in the big World Cup games, expect them to sit back and soak pressure, rather than leave space in behind which their opponents can then exploit.
