The national soccer team must beat Portugal to advance to the round of 16.
Before tomorrow night’s showdown, I digested the official training.
Qatar local connection. Reporter Heo Jae-won!
I am also curious about the physical condition of ‘defense core’ Kim Min-jae.
Did you attend today’s training?
[기자]
Yes, our soccer team prepared for the match against Portugal tomorrow through official training today.
We released the first 15 minutes of training, and most of the players were bright.
As expected, attention was focused on Kim Min-jae.
Kim Min-jae did not come to the training ground at all yesterday and received rehabilitation treatment at a hotel.
Today, I came out to the training ground.
However, he didn’t train and just rode a bike, concentrating on recovering the injured area.
Since the pain in the right calf, which was injured in the game against Uruguay, still remains, it seems that he will decide whether to participate in the game against Portugal after seeing the recovery status until tomorrow.
On the other hand, side striker Hwang Hee-chan, who was unable to play in both games due to a thigh injury, is now digesting all training normally, so he is expected to be able to play against Portugal tomorrow.
The official press conference held at the Main Media Center a while ago was attended by Bento coach and Kim Young-kwon.
Coach Bento gave a careful answer that he had not yet made a decision on whether or not Min-jae Kim would participate, and that he would watch the situation until tomorrow.

Reporter Heo Jae-won, where you are right now is the Portuguese training ground, right?
How is the atmosphere?
[기자]
Yes, Portugal will start official training shortly.
Attention is focusing on whether Ronaldo, who was absent from training for two days in a row, will appear in training today.
A lot of our reporters are gathered here right now.
No special news, such as Ronaldo’s injury, has yet to be confirmed, and it is said that he prepared for a match against Korea while doing personal training at the gym in the accommodation.
Portugal have already secured their place in the round of 16 with two wins in a row, but need to secure top spot in their group to avoid Brazil in the round of 16.
However, three key players – Pereira, Mendes and Ottabiu – are expected to miss due to injuries.
There are also 4 players who have been warned, and there is a possibility of resting against Korea to prevent them from being unable to advance to the round of 16 due to the accumulation of warnings.
It means that there may be gaps that our national team can attack.
We are not in a situation where we have to count the number of complicated cases, and we must win the match against Portugal to look forward to advancing to the round of 16.
