As he gets his squad ready to play Ghana in their second group game at the 2022 FIFA World Cup, South Korea’s head coach, Paulo Jorge Gomes Bento, declared that his team is not afraid of any opponent.
The Black Stars lost 3-2 to Portugal in the other Group H match, while South Korea held Uruguay to a scoreless draw in their opening match.
To advance to the next round of the competition, the Asian nation will need to defeat Ghana.
“We are a good team and we are not afraid of any side. We have a brave team.” Bento said at a pre-match press conference.
Against Ghana, Son Heung-min is anticipated to sport a facial mask. In their season opener against Uruguay on Thursday, the 30-year-old wore the mask.
On Monday, November 28, 2022, at 7:00 p.m., the game is slated to take place at the Education City Stadium (13:00 GMT).
Between November 20 and December 18, 2022, the FIFA World Cup will be held.
Only three African teams have ever advanced to the quarterfinals: Ghana (2010), Senegal (2002), and Cameroon (1990).
