Qatar World Cup 2022 – South Korea vs Ghana who will win
korean team
Whether Son Heung-min can play is the key
South Korea is undoubtedly the best Asian team at the World Cup. They first participated in the World Cup in 1954 and have not missed any tournament since 1986, which is the only one in Asia. Even in Europe there are very few teams that have managed to qualify for the last 10 World Cups.
From a grouping point of view, it’s not easy for the Korean team to break through in this tournament. The other three opponents come from different continents, have different styles and are all of good strength. To make matters worse, head player Sun Xingmin was suddenly injured in early November.
In fact, the South Korean team’s lineup is not weak: Premier League golden boot Sun Xingmin, Serie A best defender of the month Kim Min-jae and many players who played in the European League can be called the strongest of the last years . Sun Xingmin was suddenly injured during the Champions League match and his face was fractured in four places. Although he underwent surgery immediately after the match, he still needs at least 3 weeks to recover after the operation. The Korean Football Federation also said that there is no guarantee that Sun Xingmin can catch up with the World Cup. However, it was reported that Sun Xingmin said that if necessary, he will wear a customized protective mask to participate in the World Cup.
Last season, Sun Xingmin played 35 times in the Premier League, averaging 86 minutes per game, scored 23 goals, completed 7 assists, and finally won the Premier League Golden Boot with 23 goals, becoming the first Asian to win this award in Europe arena players.
Ghana
The formation is mysterious
The Ghana team is the biggest unknown in Group H. They have advanced to the final stage of the World Cup again after 8 years. It doesn’t matter in terms of players or lineup, they are a bit of a mystery. It is also for this reason that they risk being the spoilers of this group. The Ghanaian team won the Africa Cup of Nations in 1963, 1965, 1978 and 1982 and became the first African team to win an Olympic medal in men’s football in 1992. Midfielder Thomas is excellent in both defense and attack, and is the most expensive player in the Ghanaian team, currently playing for Arsenal. The most famous forwards are the Ayew brothers, whose father is the legendary Ghanaian star Abedi Bailey. From the point of view of technical and tactical style, the Ghanaian team is a typical African team, intelligent but tough. The players’ excellent physical talent and natural sense of the ball keep them among the strong African teams. At the moment, many players of this team play in Bundesliga, La Liga and Premier League and their personal skills are good. Therefore, although the Ghana team may be the team with the worst qualifying situation in this group, the World Cup has never been short of “dark horses”.

Preliminary analysis of the match between South Korea and Ghana
World number 61 Ghana, bottom of the round of 32, are perhaps the most underrated team in the tournament.
In the first round, the Ghanaian team lost 2:3 to the favored Portuguese team led by Ronaldo. In this competition with the biggest disparity in the world ranking in the group stage of this cup, under the adversities of the Portuguese team leading to score a penalty kick, the Ghanaian team scored 2 goals and almost equalized the score in the time of recovery. His scoring ability is impressive.
South Korea, 28th in the world, drew 0-0 with two-time cup champions Uruguay in their opening match, which is a good result, but South Korea coach Paulo Bento still has some regrets, because he believes that South Korea is more dominant party. The overall strength of the South Korean team has improved markedly from 4 years ago. As Sun Xingmin, the team star and Premier League top scorer who has just undergone eye surgery, gradually adjusts to his “mask man” identity, the combat effectiveness of “Tai Chi Tiger” will further improved.
For the Ghana team, if they lose this season, they will be out early. If the South Korean team does not win, they will be passive in qualifying for the group stage. Therefore, this is another match that neither side can afford to lose.
At present, it is not easy for “Tai Chi Tiger” to pass the Ghana test. However, the somewhat messy and fragile defense of the Ghanaian team could give the “Tai Chi Tigers” an opportunity to exploit. (Source: China News Network, reporter Wang Zumin)
