There are many variables. But it goes to the hole method.
The Korean national soccer team led by Hwang Sun-hong will have its fourth Group C match against Thailand at 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday at Rajamangala Stadium in Bangkok for the second Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North and Central America World Cup. If Korea wins this time as the leader of the group 2 wins, 1 draw, 7 points, it will surpass the 9th ridge line of the final qualifying round. Thailand 1 win, 1 loss, 4 points is expected to stage all-out efforts to win the second place competition against China 1 win, 1 draw, 1 loss, 4 points. The first and second place teams in the group will advance to the final qualifying round.
There is a high possibility that Lee Kang-in will be selected
Coach Hwang Sun-hong deployed Lee Kang-in in the second half of the match against Thailand 1-1 held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday. As soon as Lee was deployed, he added a customized pass to the space between the opposing team's defense line and the goalkeeper, boosting the team's offense. Lee's sensuous ball input also shook Thailand's defense, which had been solid. His collaborative play with Son Heung-min also started to gain momentum. Hwang is likely to use Lee from the beginning. The time difference with Europe has been overcome to some extent. "While preparing for the match, I think personal feelings are a luxury. I plan the lineup solely to win," Hwang said earlier.
If Min Kyu scores, it'll be the icing on the cake
Joo Min-gyu, the top scorer in the K-League, made his debut as the longest player in the history of A-team in the match against Thailand on Wednesday. As the pride of the Korean league, he attracted opposing defenders in the match against Thailand, gave the ball to them, and displayed good performance by guarding and linking them. He also displayed diligent movements to counter the goalkeeper. Hwang is considering various scoring methods, including Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min's collaborative play, set piece, and quick attack through one-touch pass, but if Joo Min-gyu's score is scored while Cho Kyu-sung is in a temporary slump, the problem of goal determination will be resolved.
We need to get through the heat and dense defense
The temperature in Bangkok rises and falls above 30 degrees Celsius, and the humidity is high, forcing players to fight the heat on the day of the game. Although Thailand is low at 101st in the International Football Federation rankings, it showed formidable counterattack capability behind its defense in the last game. Eight of the past 30 wins, eight draws, and eight losses came from away matches in Bangkok and other cities. If Korea deploys the ball tactically at a standstill, it will be difficult to penetrate the opponent that has already settled down. Unexpected moves should be made, with the defense also joining the attack.
Commentator Kim Dae-gil said, "The match against Thailand in Seoul was not bad. Players will focus more on their fight as they also drew a match that they have to win. The cooperation between the two should become more sophisticated as Son solves the opponent's dense defense and Lee Kang-in's pass that breaks the offside. It would be nice if Joo Min-gyu also showed his goal-scoring ability."
