South Korea vs Chile: After the Brazil quintet, the Korean coach encourages his team
After the Brazil quintet, the Korean coach encourages his team.
South Korean coach Paulo Bento urged his players to give it their all against Chile on Monday, following a 1-5 loss to Brazil in Seoul last Friday in a round of friendlies the South Koreans are playing this month.
The South Korean national team’s most important player is Premier League star and captain Heung-Min Son.
In addition to Sun, who wears a Tottenham Hotspur shirt, the Taeguk Warriors attack includes Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Hwang Hee-chan and Bordeaux’s Huang Wei-ju.
Last week, the Asian squad suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of Brazil in a match in which it was willing to stay in the back and only move out to launch counterattacks.
