Reporter Lee In-hwan] "The power differential is so great that South Korea will want a big win, and a big win with a good performance."

"For South Korea, the Vietnam game is the last test before the second round of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, which starts in November," Vietnam's Lao Dong reported on November 15 (KST), adding, "In fact, they will want a clear victory and performance, not just a win."

The national team, coached by Jürgen Klinsmann, defeated Tunisia 4-0 at Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sept. 13. South Korea will face Vietnam, ranked 95th in the FIFA rankings, at the Suwon World Cup Stadium on Sunday.

After winning their first two games in a row under Klinsmann, South Korea's next opponent will be Vietnam, ranked 95th in the FIFA rankings. The Vietnamese are a far lesser opponent for South Korea as they look to win the Asian Cup.

Vietnam lost 0-2 to the Chinese national team in an exhibition match in Dalian, China, on Oct. 10. Vietnam also fell 0-2 to Uzbekistan in the same venue on Nov. 13. China is ranked 80th in the FIFA rankings, while Uzbekistan is 75th. 카지노사이트777

The KFA did not invite Vietnam to the match. "Vietnam contacted us first," said an official from the association, "and the condition was that Vietnam would pay for all the expenses such as airfare and accommodation.

In January 2023, Vietnam stepped down Park Hang-seo and replaced him with Trousier, who previously led the Japanese national team. Like Park, he has full control over Vietnam's soccer, managing both the U-23 and senior national teams.

However, Trucier's arrival has halted Vietnam's rise to prominence. They won 1-0 against Syria and Hong Kong, 1-0 against Syria, and 2-0 against Palestine, only to crumble as soon as they faced the big boys. Against a superior opponent in the October A-Match, Vietnam looked lethargic.

This is what happened to South Korea. "Coach Klinsmann hasn't officially made any assessment of Vietnam," said Lao Dong. However, I'm sure Korea will want a win against Vietnam, or more precisely, a complete victory with a good performance."

"Son Heung-min will rest or play moderately against Vietnam. "Even without him, South Korea is a formidable team," Lao Dong said, adding that "against Vietnam, South Korea will most likely use substitutes to give players who didn't play against Tunisia a chance.

"For Vietnam, the game against South Korea is the most valuable match since the third qualifier for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. However, the difference in strength between the two teams is clear. The chances of Trucier's Vietnam performing well against South Korea are very low," concluded a sobering assessment.
