The group stage of the 2022 World Cup is coming to an end. Tomorrow (Friday) will be the last day of the phase, when the drama is still in full swing in the 8th house. Meanwhile, the Portuguese are worried, this after Ronaldo did not take part in training for the match against South Korea and is in doubt for this match as he is dealing with an injury that is defined as minor.
In any case, everything is still open in Group 8, except for the fact that Portugal have already secured promotion to the next stage, but they still want to secure first place, for that they will need at least a point from the game against South Korea.
On the other hand, the Koreans know that they must win in order to leave themselves a chance to qualify from second place, while at the same time they will keep their fingers crossed that Uruguay will help them. South Korea needs to beat Portugal, and could find itself in the next stage in two scenarios if that happens – the first is if Ghana gets only a draw from Uruguay and South Korea’s goal difference will be better (for now Ghana with a goal difference of 0 and South Korea with minus 1), Or if Uruguay beat Ghana and South Korea’s goal difference will be better (for now Uruguay is minus 2).
“We are convinced that we can beat Portugal,” he said Lee Jay Sung“It may be that from an individual point of view their players are of better quality, but as a team we can be better than them. It is possible that this game will go in our direction.”
The estimated composition of Portugal: Diego Costa; Joao Cancelo, Antonio Silva (Pepa), Ruben Dias, Rafael Guerrero; Ruben Neves, William Carvalho, Bruno Fernandes; Bernardo Silva, Rafael Laao (Joao Felix), Cristiano Ronaldo.
Estimated composition of South Korea: Sung Gyu Kim; Tae Wahn Kim, Min Jae Kim, Jin Soo Kim, Kyung-gwon Kim; Woo Jung Jung, In Baum Hwang, Woo Young Jung; Jay Sung Lee, Hwang Hye Chan, Jung Min Sun.
