Bentoho, ‘Round 16 Hunt’ against Ghana today… Aim for defensive gaps
[앵커]
The Korean national football team will play the second round of the group stage against Ghana today (28th).
It is a mountain that must be overcome in order to progress to the round of 16.
It’s quick, but it’s a breakdown that has a chance of winning if you’re aiming for defensive gaps.

Bentuho’s second leg opponent, Ghana, is much lower than Korea, who are ranked 61st and 28th in the FIFA rankings.
However, as the average age of the countries progressing to the finals is the lowest, football’s strength is fast pace and individual skills.
In the final leg, they both broke through Portugal’s world-class defenders and scored twice.
The players to be especially wary of are Kudus and Bukari, who play a key role in attack, and the Ayu brothers, who are the main forwards of the Ghana team.
However, the defensive organization is relatively weak compared to the offensive power.
<송민규 / 축구대표팀 공격수> “I watched the sight of the goal while opening the space behind the left back. To attack the goal by penetrating the space behind the left…”
<정우영 / 축구대표팀 미드필더> “The teamwork didn’t seem that good… so I think it would create a better chance if we reversed that part and attacked.”
Ghana, who had been fighting Portugal on equal footing, collapsed by conceding goals in the second half.
Ghana, who are being driven to the edge of the cliff, are also expected to come out in an all-out war, and it is an analysis that there is a chance of winning if Bentuho succeeds in counter-attacking based on the organizational power he showed in the last game.
Also, for the national team, it is expected that the fact that the game will be played in the same place as the first leg will work advantageously.
The crucial time is approaching whether the national team, who have never won the second round of the group stage in previous World Cups, will be able to break the jinx and gain 3 points to gain an advantage in the ‘Round of 16 Hunt’ .
