A total of six AFC teams reached the World Cup finals, namely Qatar, Japan, South Korea, Iran, Saudi Arabia and Australia, which is the highest record ever recorded by an AFC. Not only that, the three teams of Japan, South Korea and Iran can be said to be more and more mature, and are expected to break through the results of the last World Cup, it is a pity that the national football team cannot participate in it, but being able to play against Japan in the World Preliminary Round is also experiencing the level of the World Cup finals.
The current strength of the South Korean team cannot be underestimated, with Asian brother, the 11th place in the Golden Ball Award Son Heung-min, and Kim Min-ya, known as the top central defender in Serie A, so that South Korean fans are full of confidence, Korean media also played a high profile to enter the final, of course, the South Korean team can be surrounded by Portugal, Uruguay is already very difficult, it can be said that how far the World Cup South Korean team can go depends on the play of Son Heung-min, just like the last Portugal relied on Ronaldo to advance to the round of 16.
At present, the South Korean team has arrived in Qatar, and the logistics materials delivered have also been delivered first, but pork, the favorite source of meat protein intake for Koreans, is banned in Qatar, even if Qatar does not eat it itself, pork is not allowed to enter the country. In this case, the Korean team had to remove pork from the recipe and replace it with beef and chicken. Before the Korean team travels, everyone treats roast pork and pork belly as their last meal, after all, they will not be able to eat their favorite pork for a long time, and the Korean team players will definitely have a big discomfort.
In addition, Son Heung-min and other European players did not travel with the big team, and the Tottenham Hotspur striker will not arrive until later. And according to Korean media, because of the facial injury just underwent surgery, he could not arrive immediately into training, he still has traces of injury on his face, and just after surgery, his face is still swollen and unable to train and compete. In addition, Son Heung-min's form has also declined this season, with a decline in goal statistics, while Huang Hee-chan and Huang Yisuke, two overseas attackers, have scored 0 goals so far this season, which can be said to be not in good shape.
With their favorite meat not eating and the star in an injured state, the South Korean team can be said to be unfavorable, and it is no surprise that the South Korean team may return home after three group games. Of course, this also has a little benefit for the Chinese Super League, that is, the timing of Son Junhao's return may be determined according to the best result, if only 3 group games are played, then Son Junhao may miss 5 rounds of the league, so he is also expected to catch the most crucial moment of this season's Taishan team championship. In any case, the World Cup stadium still has to support the Chinese Super League foreign aid, and Son Joon-ho and Bassogo should be paid attention to and supported.
