Son Heung-min (from Tottenham, Chuncheon) and Hwang Hee-chan (from Wolverhampton, Chuncheon) reboard the Bento.
On the 14th, Paulo Bento, coach of the Korean national football team, announced the list of 25 Taegeuk warriors who will participate in the 2022 Qatar World Cup Final Qualifier Group A (home match against Iran on the 24th, away game against the United Arab Emirates on the 29th) to be held during the March A match period on the 14th. During the announcement, Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan were selected again. Heung-Min Son and Hee-Chan Hwang were injured while playing their team’s schedule and were unable to play in the 7th-8th rounds of the final qualifying round.
Korea is currently in 2nd place (20 points) in Group A, and Korea has 11 points with 3rd place (9 points) United Arab Emirates (UAE). They have secured tickets to the Qatar World Cup finals. But Bento brought in the best possible resources. It is interpreted as a choice containing the will to complete the final qualifying round by winning the ‘rival’ Iran by risking the pride of Korean football. Iran also confirmed their move to Qatar with the lead of the group (22 points), and if Korea wins this match, they will rise to the top of the group. Bentuho drew 1-1 with Iran in the 4th leg of the final qualifying match, played away, thanks to Son Heung-min’s opening goal. Seunghwan Jeong
