[Ansan=Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyung-min] The attacking squad, whose goal-scoring senses are at their peak, will face Syria.
Our national football team will field Son Heung-min, Hwang Ui-jo, and Hwang Hee-chan, who have recently been performing brilliantly in Europe, as starters to target Syria's goal.
Led by coach Paulo Bento, the team will play its third match in Group A of the Qatar World Cup final qualifiers against Syria on the 7th at Ansan Wa~ Stadium.
The team will operate in a 4-2-3-1 formation, placing Hwang Ui-jo, who plays for Bordeaux in France's Ligue 1, as the main forward. Hwang Ui-jo has been sharp in front of goal this season, scoring 3 goals in the regular league.
The second line will consist of Song Min-kyu, Son Heung-min, and Hwang Hee-chan. Expectations are high for the performance of the English 'duo.' Son Heung-min, playing for Tottenham in the English Premier League, has scored 3 goals in the regular league this season and provided 1 assist in the UEFA Conference League, playing a key role for his team. Hwang Hee-chan, who debuted in the English league this season, is also sharp. In his seventh regular league match against Newcastle, he scored multiple goals, totaling 3 goals.
The midfield will be managed by Hwang In-beom, known as Coach Bento's crown prince, alongside Jung Woo-young. The defensive line will feature Hong Chul, Kim Young-gwon, Kim Min-jae, and Lee Yong. Kim Min-jae, who is rising in prominence at Turkish professional club Fenerbah?e, is expected to anchor the defense. The goal will be guarded by Kim Seung-gyu.
Before this match, our national team holds 1 win, 1 draw, and 4 points, ranking 2nd in Group A. The top spot is held by Iran, with 2 consecutive wins and 6 points. Syria is in 4th place in Group A with 1 draw, 1 loss, and 1 point.
