South Korea have started the preparations to the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament with two big games.
The games against the South American opponents came against Brazil and Chile in the first week of June.
The first of the games against Brazil saw South Korea losing 5-1 to the Samba boys. Subsequently, South Korea recovered and defeated Chile 2-0 in the next game.
Speaking in an interview, Coach of South Korea Paulo Bento says he is using the friendly matches to assess his players.
"I have called 29 people to the national team this time, but I know that not all players can participate. While preparing for the World Cup, some players were absent.
Hwang Hee-chan entered the training center during the call, and Kim Young-kwon also had physical problems. You have to analyze everything to see what players can bring and which players are in good shape. We can't guarantee that all players will start. At the same time, it is a time when we can watch many players for a long time,” Coach Paulo Bento said.
Earlier today, South Korea played a third friendly match against Paraguay. The game ended 2-2.
