[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] Our national soccer team is aiming for their first win in the final round of World Cup qualifiers, led by the duo of 'Captain' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) and 'main striker' Hwang Ui-jo (Bordeaux).
The team, coached by Paulo Bento, will play their first match in Group A of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian final qualifiers against Iraq on the 2nd at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Coach Bento deployed a stable 4-2-3-1 formation. Hwang Ui-jo leads the attack, with Son Heung-min, Lee Jae-sung, and Song Min-kyu positioned in the second line. Just behind them, Hwang In-beom and Son Jun-ho coordinate in the midfield. The defensive line consists of Hong Chul, Kim Young-gwon, Kim Min-jae, and Kim Moon-hwan. Fullbacks Hong Chul and Kim Moon-hwan combine defensive skills with offensive capabilities. Their active participation in attacks is expected to disrupt Iraq's defensive wall.
