“I think there were more opportunities in the first match once morest Uruguay (0-0 draw), but I regret that I had shown the energy to score as much as I did in the second half of the match once morest Ghana.

TSG also sees the content positively, but the World Cup is ultimately regarding points and results, so it is evaluated that it is regrettable.”

He said, “In the case of Korea, the pattern is fixed and the strategy is not bad, but there were parts where the touch was not good, did not try one-on-one, or got caught while breaking through.

As the side is important in this World Cup, it is important to create opportunities by mobilizing overlapping even if it is not one-on-one.”

Regarding Portugal, the opponent in the third match, which will decide whether or not Korea will pass the group stage, Director Cha also evaluated that they were picky and asked juniors to prepare thoroughly.

Director Cha said, “Looking at the second game once morest Uruguay, Portugal doesn’t seem to be riding the rhythm very well, but it’s clear that their individual skills are better than us, and there are players who can score if they don’t concentrate.” It is important to prepare for an excellent attacking team,” he stressed.

“I think I have to run a lot.

Even in transition situations, you need to find a space more quickly and aggressively to create a scene,” he advised.

Coach Paulo Bento said, “It’s not a good situation, but if the players show what they’ve prepared so far on the pitch, it won’t be a big problem.” “In football, tactics and strategies are important, but Sometimes mentality decides a lot of things,” he said with strength.

“Rather than thinking regarding advancing to the round of 16, I hope the players will have a chance to win in the last match,” said Cha.

We beat Germany four years ago, and we have the experience of beating Portugal in 2002,” he said.
