In Asian football, the South Korean men's football team is a strong team that cannot be ignored, in the 7th and 8th rounds of the round of 12, the South Korean team won 1-0 and 2-0 respectively, defeated Lebanon and Syria, and reached the World Cup final round 2 times in advance. One statistic is that the South Korean team has been in the World Cup for 10 consecutive times, and such a report card has become the 6th in history, comparable to Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Spain and Italy, such a South Korean team, so that the national football team can only be ashamed!
Due to the absence of Son Heung-min, the South Korean men's football team in the 7th and 8th rounds of the game is not small, you know, whether it is against Lebanon, or Syria, the South Korean team is away, but this East Asian team still broke out a strong fighting force. In the match against Lebanon, the South Korean team firmly controlled the rhythm of the game, completed 13 shots on goal, 5 of which were on target, the possession rate reached 76%, the opponent only had 7 shots on goal, but did not have 1 foot to shoot, so the advantage of the Korean team was all-round, and Cao Guicheng scored the winning goal in the 46th minute.
Facing Syria in the last round, the South Korean men's soccer team, which is FIFA ranked 33rd, once again showed its strength, with 14 shots on goal and 5 shots on target in 90 minutes, while the Syrian men's team had 5 shots on goal and 0 shots on target. South Korea's possession reached 68%, also crushing the Syrian men's football team. With goal breaks from Kim Jin-so and Kwon So-hoon, South Korea won 2-0.
In the 8 rounds of the World Preliminary Tournament, the South Korean men's football team reached 20 points, their record is 6 wins and 2 draws, remaining unbeaten, advancing to the Qatar World Cup in two rounds in advance, becoming the second team in Asia to qualify.
After reaching the World Cup again, the South Korean men's football team has reached the stage of the World Cup finals for the 10th consecutive time. You know, in the history of international football, only 6 teams have completed such feats, and South Korea is the only Asian team. So far, only Brazil (21 times), Germany (18 times), Italy (14 times), Argentina (13 times), Espanyol (12 times) have advanced to the World Cup 10 times in a row or 10+ times, considering that those 5 teams are the world's top teams, so the South Korean team is comparable to them, which is enough to explain the strength of this Asian team.
South Korea's top star is Son Heung-min, who will appear at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and for Son Heung-min, he has another chance to show off his outstanding skills. Son Heung-min's idol is Ronaldo, but the Portuguese star is not sure to appear in the World Cup finals, because the Portuguese men's football team still needs to fight hard in the play-offs!
