Captain Son Heung-min wants a complete victory against China.

The South Korea national football team (ranked 24th in FIFA), led by Jürgen Klinsmann, will face China (ranked 79th in FIFA) in the second Group C match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup North America (USA, Mexico, Canada) Asian Second Qualifying Round at the Shenzhen University Sports Center in Shenzhen, China on June 21 at 9 p.m. KST.

The Korea Football Association's Inside Cam showed the team's last training session before the match against China. The final training session was a mix of seriousness and cheerfulness. At the end of the training session, Son Heung-min, the captain, called the players together. 호텔카지노 

Heung-min said, "I think we did a good job in training today, so let's put that into action on the field tomorrow. It's our last game of the year. It's the last game before the Asian Cup, which is an important tournament, and we need to go out with a good mood so that we can continue the good mood at the Asian Cup, so let's prepare well and play a good game."

He added, "The crowd will be full tomorrow, so let's show them what kind of soccer we want to play and make sure they can't breathe. Let's go out with a bang and win and go home," he said, showing his determination to secure not only the result but also the content.

The idea was to reinforce China's "gonghan" (fear) of South Korea in soccer. China's all-time record against South Korea is an overwhelming 2 wins, 13 draws and 21 losses. China's only wins against South Korea came in February 2010 and March 2017.

Although it wasn't a national team match, Huang Sunhong's Asian Games team made it to the quarterfinals of the Hangzhou 2022 Asian Games soccer tournament with a comfortable 2-0 victory over China.
