South Korea coach Paulo Bento will use his preferred tactics against Ghana in their second Group H encounter on Monday. On Thursday, the South Koreans held two-time world winners Uruguay to a goalless draw.
However, in order to avoid the attacking threats of Darwin Nunez, Luis Suarez, and Edison Cavani, the Portuguese manager organized his squad to be more defensive. However, against the Black Stars, the ex-Portugal coach is anticipated to employ an all-attacking approach.
Son Heung-Min, South Korea's star player and captain, who was largely absent during the match against Uruguay, is anticipated to be the leader up front.
Bento has developed a "build-up from the back" approach that has made South Korea fluid and quick. This approach can be challenging for Ghana because fast attackers who can play on the counter will be used.
Ghana conceded two counter-attacking goals against Portugal on Thursday. And the South Koreans who sent scouts to watch the game will use this the fast breaks on Monday. The Black Stars need a victory to have a chance of moving on to the next round.
South Korea held their recovery training session with ten players that participated in the Uruhuay game. The game on Monday is expected to be open because both sides need a win.
