Kuwait’s media predicted that the Kuwait national soccer team, which will face South Korea, will defend South Korea’s attack through a three-back card.
The South Korean national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, will play an away match against Kuwait in the fifth round of Group B of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA North-China World Cup at Jabeur Al Ahmad National Stadium in Kuwait City at 11 p.m. on the 14th (Korea time).
Kuwaiti media Al Nahar reported that Kuwait has completed its final training in preparation for the Korean match. According to Al Nahar, Kuwait’s coach Juan Antonio Fitch is expected to bring out a three-back card against Korea.
It is a judgment that is conscious of South Korea’s strong offense, but it is also due to the power leakage of Kuwait’s defense. In particular, he is sensitive to the fact that Suleiman Abdulgapur, the main goalkeeper, has been absent. In addition, it was expected that Khalid Ibrahim, Fahad al-Hazri, and Hassan Hamdi would form a three-back structure. 토토사이트
