biggest battleground is also 'Jungwon'.



Starting with Hwang In-beom, who ran 11.7km, the longest of both teams, and strongly pressed the world-class Uruguay waistline, Lee Jae-sung and Jung Woo-young, the role of Korea's inverted triangle midfielder predicted that the role would influence the flow.



Ghana also has a strong midfield lineup.



Midfield commander Thomas Fati, who made 8 tackles, the most of both teams, while running 10.9km, and Kudus, who scored IU's equalizer with a quick penetration, are also on the alert.

Meanwhile, BBC commentator Chris Sutton, who became famous for accurately predicting the draw against Uruguay and Japan's victory over Germany, even the score, drew attention by predicting Korea's 1-0 victory.



As both teams gave their all in the first game, how well they have recovered is the main variable in today's match.
