Bentuho, evaluation match against Costa Rica at the Goyang Sports Complex on 23
“I like the whole preparation process … you will play it however you want”
–
Coach Paulo Bento, who leads the Korean men’s soccer team, keeps thinking about how to use Lee Kang-in (21, Mallorca).
In a press conference held online on 22, a day before the evaluation match against Costa Rica, manager Bento said: “Lee Kang-in will be used when the team needs it. It’s a decision,” he said.
The Korean national team will play a friendly match against Costa Rica on 23 to 20 at the Goyang Sports Complex.
The only opportunity to test the “ensemble” including overseas players before the start of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar is this time with Costa Rica and Cameroon (27th) and two evaluation matches.
This is an important moment both for the Bento manager, who has to train the best members, and for the players who need to be there.
Among them, the biggest concern is whether Lee Kang-in, who returned to the national team after 1 year and 6 months, will surely make a name for himself in the Bentuho.
However, Bento was wary of focusing all attention on Lee Kang-in.
He said: “I know the media and the fans are very interested in individual players, but from the manager’s point of view, the team is more important.
“You have to think about the team, not the individual players,” he said.
Regarding the Costa Rican match, Bento said: “I prepared as usual.
At the beginning of the week we paid the utmost attention to the recovery of the players.
Some players joined late and needed a little more recovery.
Tomorrow I will play a good match, so I can get results and play as I want. “

As previously announced, the national team plans to try to ‘change’ in Match A in September.
Bento said: “At the beginning of the call, we said we would try different things, but it’s about the tactical system.
I’m not going to use the same tactical system in both games.
The overall style will be the same. “
He continued: “We have a style of play that we have been building for a long time from the start and Heung-Min Son has used it in various positions as a winger, forward and forward.
We will see how we will use it in the next game.
Many players can play more than one position and try to make the most of it. “
We will also check the defensive combination to keep the national team strong through various options.
Bento, who called three of the five full backs, Kim Tae-hwan (Ulsan), Kim Moon-hwan (Jeonbuk) and Yoon Jong-gyu (Seoul), as right back, said: “It’s to look at options rather than worry. .
Jong-gyu Yoon, a player who hasn’t played much with us, has been selected to see how he plays.
After comparing the various possibilities, we will consider more carefully before deciding on the member of the World Cup. “
