Yes, the sports department.
[앵커]
This is the second game of ‘Klinsman Ho’.
Isn’t Uruguay a formidable team?
[기자]
Yes, in about 3 hours, our national soccer team will play an evaluation match against Uruguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Just looking at the FIFA rankings, we are 25th and Uruguay are 16th, 9 steps higher than us.
Even in the past record, we are far behind with 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses.
In the most recent match, the first leg of the Qatar World Cup group stage, we played a dominant game, but unfortunately we drew without scoring.
It is a return match to be played again in about four months.
Both teams have big changes.
Our national team coach Bento left and coach Klinsman took over the helm.
He declared hot attacking football and showed impressive attack power in his debut match with Colombia.
Uruguay has also changed its manager, and the squad has been replaced with a lot of younger players.
Veteran players such as Cavani, Godin, and Suarez are all missing, and world-class stars such as Nunez and Arauho are excluded from this call due to injury.
[앵커]
Both Korea and Uruguay were held to a draw in their matches on the 24th, so you must be eager to win today?
[기자]
Yes, in the friendly match on the 24th, we drew with Colombia and Uruguay with Japan.
The Colombia match was a match where we could see the strengths and weaknesses of Korean football at the same time.
The offensive power centered on ‘World Class’ Son Heung-min received a passing score,
In the second half, his concentration was disturbed and he conceded two goals, and at the end of the game, his physical strength was also revealed.
In today’s game, main defender Kim Jin-soo is out of the roster due to a back injury, so we are interested in how to fill the vacancy in the side defense.
Midfielder Baek Seung-ho was also excluded from the team due to a thigh injury, but coach Klisman announced a plan to use it as an opportunity to test more players.
