Bentuho, who fought well against Uruguay, started preparing for the game against Ghana while recovering.
We connect reporters based in Qatar. Reporter Kim Dong-min!

Yes, I’m at Al Abida Park, a fan festival venue where many football fans gather and cheer for every game.

Yesterday, the national team had recovery training. How is the atmosphere in the team?
[기자]
Yes, the players looked relaxed and content, but they couldn’t hide their regret either.
It’s a shame we could have won 3 points.
However, the players said they had gained confidence after playing on an even basis against Uruguay.
The national team had recovery training yesterday.
All of the players who started for the match against Uruguay were riding bicycles and simplified recovery training.
Only Kim Min-jae took a break without recovery training due to a calf injury.
There seems to be no problem with Ghana. Hwang Hee-chan also did individual training after riding a bike, and showed more recovery as he sprinted and kicked the ball.
All players who failed to appear in the game against Uruguay or came as substitutes even played mini games and trained for around 80 minutes.
During the training, coach Bento talked about something with Cho Kyu-seong, and after the mini game, there was a scene where he stroked Lee Kang-in’s head.
Even during the mini game, Lee Kang-in’s movements seemed light and his playing seemed good. We will see if Kyu-Sung Cho and Kang-In Lee can play harder against Ghana.
[앵커]
Are you saying that Ghana is preparing for our country’s game by changing closed training?
[기자]
Yes, the Ghana coach said they can progress to the round of 16 if they beat Korea.
It tells us that there is a high possibility of coming out aggressively in the Korean War.
The reporter visited the training ground in Ghana three days ago, and his pace and physical appearance were good.
In the game against Portugal, Ghana had a good balance when using 5 bags in the first half, but showed gaps when coming out aggressively in the second half.
There were times when the back space on both sides was empty, but even when playing against our national team, if we pick up the line and come out aggressively, it seems our wingers could and the wing forwards have frequent counter-attacking opportunities.
Our players were well aware of that.
Let’s listen to Jung Woo-young’s interview for a moment.
[정우영 / 월드컵 축구대표팀 미드필더 : 일단 가나팀이 제가 봤을 때 정말 빠르고 (볼을) 빼앗을 때 저희가 그 역방향으로 저희가 뒷공간을 이용하는 게 좀 더 찬스를 많이 만들지 않을까….]
Now, the national team will share tactics and strategies through team meetings.
If our cooperative defense and defensive organization shines in the game against Ghana, it seems that many good opportunities will come our way as well.
We will see what kind of mercenary skills coach Bento will use to attack Ghana’s weaknesses.
