Taegeuk warriors are training with a bright expression at Al Maktoum Stadium, where they will play the final match against the UAE.

Captain Son Heung-min, who is tied for the top scorer with 4 goals in the final qualifying round, showed a light movement and inflated expectations for becoming the ‘Asia final scorer king’.

The UAE, who placed 3rd in the group aiming for a place in the intercontinental playoffs, predicted an all-out offensive, but the players showed confidence.

<김영권 / 국가대표팀 수비수> “I’ve done a lot of analysis on the overall style of the UAE team, and since I’m playing in a situation where I feel a little less pressure, wouldn’t it be a little more confident to play…”

We, who are in first place in the group with 7 wins and 2 draws, must defeat the UAE if we do not want to allow a reversal to Iran, which is chasing by one point difference.

Bento, who achieved the record for most wins in a single period as the national team captain with the victory over Iran, announced his determination not to stop the record streak.

<파울루 벤투 / 국가대표팀 감독> “I plan to finish the qualifier well by winning three points with the best 11. The only way to keep the top of the group is to win.”

If the national team defeats the UAE, the win rate will be 80%, surpassing Cha Beom-geun-ho at the 1998 World Cup in France, making it the highest win rate ever in the final qualifying round.

In addition, for the first time since the 2010 World Cup final qualifiers in South Africa, they recorded an all-match undefeated record, standing at the starting line of the World Cup finals.
