On the evening of June 20, 1919 at :00 GMT, the South Korean national team will have its second recent warm-up match against a Salvadoran team that just suffered a 6.:0 bloodbath against Japan.
In a match that ended a few days ago, South Korea suffered a somewhat sudden defeat when they lost 0:1 to Peru. This round of matches was just beaten by Japan 6. The :0 defeat to El Salvador was a game that Korea had to win, or else I fear it would have been laughed at by Japan in comparison, and would not have been easy to explain in front of the Korean fans.
There is no doubt that in order to win this match, South Korean manager Jurgen Klinsmann will do his best to show the strongest starting lineup he has in mind. Let's briefly predict the starting lineup that South Korea might field in this match.
In the goalkeeping position, naturally, Kim Seung-kyu is the main keeper to guard the Taeji-Tigers' goal; in the backline, unsurprisingly, Klinsmann will continue to sacrifice the relative safety of the 4-guard formation, with Lee Ki-dui, Ahn Hyun-beom, Park Ji-soo, and Jung Seung-hyeon being the 4 defenders most likely to get the start. Among them, Evergrande veteran Park Ji-soo's partner Ahn Hyun-beom forms the double center back combination; Lee Ki-dui and Jung Seung-hyun will play as the wing backs from left to right.
In the midfield, there is no doubt that the main back responsible for intercepting the sweep of the South Korean center backs will be Lee Jae-seong, a fierce midfielder who plays in the Bundesliga and Mainz; Hwang In-beom should form a double back pairing with Lee Jae-seong's partner. In front of the double back, it is expected that 22-year-old midfield prodigy demon child Lee Gang-in will shine in La Liga and lead the South Korean attacking line up front.
Up front, Cao Kyu-sung, who made his mark in last year's World Cup, should be the taiji tiger up front. The trio of strikers that should partner with Cho should be English Premier League Wolves striker Hwang Hee Chan and Asian No. 1 Son Heung Miu. It is worth mentioning that Sun Xingmiao, who was rested in the last game, should be in the battle in this game, sitting in front of the field, picking up the attack in front of the field, and playing the key role of the team's "big leg". The two strikers from the English Premier League are playing at the same time, and the fighting power is worth expecting.
In summary, the final 11 players expected to start for South Korea against El Salvador are: Kim Seung-kyu; Lee Ki-duk, Ahn Hyun-beom, Park Ji-soo, Jung Seung-hyun; Lee Jae-seong, Hwang In-beom, Lee Gang-in; Son Heung-miao, Cho Kyu-sung, Hwang Hee-chan.
