Ahead of the Qatar World Cup, the national soccer team entered Doha, the decisive battleground, and started their first training right away.

Some athletes are thoroughly preparing for the best stage, to the point of individual training after training.

Son Heung-min will join tomorrow (16th).

After flying for more than 10 hours, the soccer team arrived in Doha, undressed, took a short break, and went straight to the training ground.



Prior to training, coach Bento gathered the players together and had an unusually long talk for more than 10 minutes to raise their mental strength, and the players did their best in simple warm-up, passing, and catch-the-ball training.



Due to his thigh injury, Kim Jin-soo, who had been doing individual training for a while, showed a gradual recovery.



After exchanging passes with his teammates for the first time, he sprinted across the ground and raised the sense of the game.



Lee Kang-in, who was dramatically named in the final roster, and Hwang Ui-jo, who desperately needed a rebound from his team's sluggish performance, continued to exchange passes after training to prepare for the first World Cup in his life.

In the midst of forming a full body, the players pledged to overcome the crisis by coming together as a team even if Son Heung-min's injury lasts a little longer.

Among the 4 teams in Group H, we were the first to quench in Doha, and after 12 years Bentuho's powerful run toward advancing to the round of 16 began.
