The national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play the 6th game of the World Cup qualifying round against Palestine at 11 p.m. tonight.
The national team intends to win five straight A matches by playing a hot revenge match against Palestine, which drew without scoring at home last September.
Hong Myung-bo is 22nd in FIFA rankings, leading Group B without losing, and if he beats Palestine, who is last in the group at 100th, he will cross the "eight-tier ridge" of his 11th consecutive World Cup appearance.
If captain Son Heung-min scores today, he will rank second with his 51st A-match goal, the highest number of goals scored by a Korean player in history, and at the same time, he will surpass nine goals in 2005 to complete his 10 A-match goals in a year.
Let's hear the determination of coach Hong Myung-bo and player Son Heung-min.
[Hong Myung-bo / Coach of the national soccer team: We will prepare well with a strong mind and play well tomorrow.]
[Son Heung-min / Korean national soccer team striker/captain: Let's win and make it easier for us to go to the World Cup. Okay? Good job, good job. [Good job this year, don't get hurt until the end!]
