Yes, the training atmosphere of the Korean national team yesterday (25th) was very bright and lively.

After a bloody battle with Uruguay, the Taegeuk warriors returned to the training ground.



The players who started in the first game, including Son Heung-min, did light recovery training for about 30 minutes while riding bicycles, and the substitute players and bench members sweated for more than an hour as usual.



Cho Kyu-sung and Lee Kang-in, who made their strong debut against Uruguay, continued their good form by scoring goals one after another in the 6-6 mini-game.



In the match against Ghana, Bento seemed to expect more of a role for Cho Kyu-sung, so he called him separately and had a long conversation.



On the other hand, Hwang Hee-chan, who had only been rehabilitating due to a thigh injury, predicted a sortie by handling the ball in earnest and doing personal training for more than 40 minutes.

On the other hand, the coaches of our national team are watching the Brazilian game that we are likely to meet once we reach the round of 16. There was also an interpretation that it was preparing for after the group stage, but the Football Association was wary of an extended interpretation, saying that it is currently pouring everything into analysis and preparation for Ghana.

Right after the group draw, the national team picked Ghana as their undisputed opponent.



The fate of Korean soccer to advance to the round of 16 depends on the second round against Ghana.
