Qatar World Cup on December 6, 03:00 am | 8 final will be staged in a Chinese fans have been waiting for a long time, East Asia's neighboring South Korea will face five-time World Cup champions Brazil. It is widely believed that there is little doubt about the winner of this match.
The writer believes that soccer is round and full of unpredictability, and despite the fact that Brazil's overall strength poses an overwhelming situation for the Korean men's soccer team, I'm afraid it won't be that easy to really play.
Let's start by comparing the overall strength of these two teams. Brazil is ranked first in the world with a total value of 1.05 billion euros; South Korea is ranked 28th in the world with only 140 million euros, most of which is Son Heung-jin. In comparison, South Korea seems to have no reason to win. However, despite their overall strength, Brazil are clearly not at the peak of the Samba Army and have some problems of their own, which if they are caught by South Korea, South Korea could actually win.
First of all, Brazil is severely incomplete at the moment, due to injuries that have greatly damaged the team's original fighting strength. Neymar was injured in the first group stage and it's unclear. Even if you can play in South Korea, form is not easy to say. After Neymar, Danilo, Ales Sandro, Jesus, Teles and others suffered injuries as well, with winger Jesus announcing his withdrawal from the World Cup straight away. Such a Brazilian team, compared with the peak state, the fighting force is obviously reduced.
Secondly, the Korean team has just beaten the Portuguese team led by Cristiano Ronaldo 2-1. Their morale is high, they are full of confidence and have a strong desire to win. In contrast, Brazil just lost 0-1 to the African team Cameroon, which dealt a big blow to their morale. Therefore, in terms of mental state, Korea will also have some advantages.
Expect this game to be a very tight scenario that will likely not be resolved in 90 minutes of regular time. Once it gets dragged into extra time, perhaps South Korea will have a chance to win a cold one. Finally, a bold prediction is that South Korea may narrowly beat Brazil on penalties to move into the top eight of the World Cup, which has erupted into a stunning upset at this year's World Cup.
