Comments and predictions Korea vs Paraguay, 6pm on June 10: Sublimation continuation

The Korean team just won against Chile 2-0. It is likely that today, against a Paraguay even weaker than Chile, with poor form and thin force, Korea will have the opportunity to show strength at home again.

This summer is a time of celebration with football Korea. They did not even focus on the U23 team participating in the U23 Asian Cup finals, but focused most of their attention on the series of 4 friendlies of the national team.

This is a series of events to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Korea’s success at the 2002 World Cup, where they achieved a historic record of 4th place overall. As a result, Korea hosted all four friendlies at the same stadiums that hosted the 2002 World Cup matches.

Today will be the 3rd match, when Korea meets Paraguay. And after the 2-0 victory over Chile, the kimchi team is very excited. They have the golden shoe Premier LeagueSon Heung-min, who returned home to a new position after a sublime season in England.

They have Hwang Hee-chan, the emerging striker at Wolves. They also put their faith in Hwang Ui-jo or Jeong Woo-yeong… Those are the players who are playing on their feet last season.

But surely, Son Heung-min will still be the most important explosion point of Korea. The position of the top star in the Premier League helps Son Heung-min confidently take charge of the Korean attack when the home team takes on Paraguay this afternoon.

Korea’s chances of winning are very clear. Because the South American opponent is in quite bad form. In the last 5 matches, they only won 1 while losing 4. Most recently, Paraguay lost to another Asian team, Japan, to 1-4.

Will Son become the leader again to bring Korea to victory?

Broadly speaking, in the last 10 outings, Paraguay only won 1, the rest lost 7. During the past 1 year, this team also won exactly 2 times, making them one of the best teams. worst in South America. And that performance caused Paraguay to be soon eliminated in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

In addition, the force of Paraguay to Korea is not the strongest. They lost pillars like Junior Alonso, Alejandro Romero Gamarra, Antonio Sanabria… had to take away many new players who only played 1-2 times for the national team like Iván Cazal, Matías Galarza, Sebastián Ferreira…

In stark contrast, Korea converges all factors, from the field, form as well as motivation. In the past 1 year, Korea played 17 matches, only lost 2, the rest won 13. Actually, comparing the opponents of Korea and Paraguay is lame. Because Syria, Lebanon, UAE, Turkmenistan or Sri Lanka cannot share the same table with Paraguay’s rivals such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay… But at least good performance also brings excitement to Korea today.

Paraguay doesn’t have the best force, and it’s just a friendly anyway. So it’s not surprising if they don’t play with the highest determination in this match.

In the past, the two teams faced each other 3 times with the advantage in favor of Korea (2 wins and 1 draw). Plus the historical fulcrum, it is more confident that victory will come to Son’s team.
