In this World Cup, Asia has six teams for the first time, and five teams have already appeared, of which Qatar, Iran and Australia have all lost to their opponents, but Saudi Arabia and Japan have defeated Argentina and Germany respectively, and Asian teams are currently 3 losses and 2 wins.
Next, South Korea will play Uruguay in the first round at 9pm Beijing time on November 24. Prior to this, South Korea was ranked 28th in the world and 3rd in Asia, behind Iran at 20th and Japan at 24th, and against Uruguay in 14th in the first round, maybe many people are not optimistic about South Korea, but they definitely have hope to upset.
You know, although Uruguay is a world-class powerhouse, the core players of this team have aged, especially Suarez, who is 35 years old and is still an irreplaceable attacking core of the team. Although Núñez has risen, he is not yet capable of carrying the team, and Uruguay will most likely have to count on Suarez. In addition, Edinson Cavani is also 35 years old, and he and Suarez are far from the top giants, and their form is far from the peak.
Although not as strong as Uruguay, the South Korean team also has a top star, he is Son Heung-min. Injured at Tottenham, fans were worried that Son Heung-min would not be able to participate in the World Cup, but after he put on his mask, he was successfully selected for the squad and will definitely appear in the first round. In addition, Kim Minya has grown into a top Serie A defender at Napoli, and his defensive line will strive to block the impact of Suarez and others and help the goalkeeper keep a clean sheet.
The play of Son Heung-min and Kim Min-ya, the two core players in the first and last place, will determine the fate of the Korean team in this World Cup. The first-round game against Uruguay is extremely crucial for South Korea, and if they can get three points from a strong opponent, it will undoubtedly lay the foundation for qualification.
Portugal is considered the strongest team in this group, while Uruguay and South Korea will compete for another place to qualify, and whether they get off to a good start in the first round will have a decisive impact on the prospects of the Korean team in this tournament. Fortunately, Uruguay is no longer at its peak, and South Korea may not have a chance to beat their opponents.
Seeing Saudi Arabia and Japan reverse strong opponents one after another, the South Korean team will definitely be more confident. In fact, the strength of the South Korean team is not below that of Japan and Saudi Arabia, and Uruguay is inferior to Argentina and Germany, and the South Korean team has no reason to doubt that it cannot beat its opponents. Once Uruguay is defeated, after the second round match against Ghana, South Korea may have six points to qualify early at any time.
In fact, in this group, South Korea is not only expected to qualify, they can also compete with Portugal for the first place at any time. Although the Portuguese team is full of stars, but because Cristiano Ronaldo was released by Manchester United, the team is now facing huge external pressure, coupled with the Portuguese team often drops the chain in key matches, like last year's European Championship, they dominated the whole game (shooting 23-6), but lost to Belgium and were eliminated, the World Qualifiers were upset by Serbia, and finally had to play the play-offs, and then lost the top spot at home to Spain in the UEFA Nations League, in just one year, Portugal lost many key games, they may not lose to South Korea.
In this World Cup, Asian teams have created a lot of surprises for fans, and everyone is waiting to see the good show of the Korean team!
