South Korea, after the historic draw with Uruguay, will play Ghana at 14:2 p.m. in the 3nd round of Group H. The "Black Stars" enter this match after losing to Portugal 2:XNUMX, so they have nothing to wait for if they want to preserve their chances of reaching the round of XNUMX. finals.
Ghana missed several opportunities for a draw with the "Selesa" in the finish, the best one by Injaki Williams when Diogo Kosta recklessly dropped the ball, but before the referee's whistle the Athletic Bilbao striker slipped in the decisive moment. Ghana coach Otto Ado emphasized that he can't wait for the start of the game and the competition with Heung-Min Son, the ace of Tottenham.
"I was Son's first coach when he came to Hamburg at the age of 16, I recommended him for the first team and I'm glad to see him. I don't think we lost the match against Portugal, we just learned from it. It will mean us the experience in the difficult match with Korea. A dream? We know how to stop him," Ado said.
Unlike Ado, the duel comes too quickly for South Korea coach Paul Bent.
Teams of doctors and physiotherapists are trying to train the best of the five footballers with the surname Kim - Napoli stopper Kim Min Jae, with whom the Neapolitans have not lost any of their 14 matches in Serie A.
The former Fenerbahce defender was injured when he slipped while trying to catch Darwin Nunes, and the performance of Wolverhampton midfielder Hwan Hee Chan, who was on the bench against Uruguay, is uncertain.
"We respect Ghana, its quality and speed, and we know that we have a tough game ahead of us. We, however, must stick to our plan. That's the only way we have a chance," emphasized Bento.
