Prediction: 1-1
South Korea
Cardiff City Stadium will host Thursday’s friendly between Wales and South Korea. The Dragons aim to make amends for back-to-back defeats to Armenia and Turkey, but, no doubt, they would be happy with the share of spoils against the Koreans. Legendary forward Gareth Bale retired from international football, but star midfielder Aaron Ramsey made the cut. Leeds United winger Daniel James has been ruled out with injury.
The visitors, on the other hand, are still relying on Tottenham ace Son, who scored a hat-trick in a 5-2 win over Burnley at the weekend. Wales, though, are tough to beat at home ground and, taking everything into account, we predict that the two sides are going to play out a draw in Thursday’s warm-up game. Yet another man to watch in the visiting team will be Hee-Chan Hwang, who scored as a substitute for Wolves in a 3-2 loss to Crystal Palace.
Highlighted Player (Heung-min Son):
Over the years Son Heung-Min has established himself as one of the best Asian footballers. Son is a Tottenham Hotspur first-team regular and he played a very important role in Mauro Pochettino’s team in the 2017/2018 Premier League campaign, scoring 12 goals, while making 37 appearances in the process.
The South Korean footballer, who is well known for his speed and a very powerful shot, was born in Chuncheo on 8 July 1992 and he began his youth career at FC Seoul. In 2008 he moved to Hamburger SV, but he made his senior debut for the Bundesliga club two years later. In 2013 he signed a deal with fellow German side Bayer Leverkusen and he scored 21 goals in 62 appearances in the Bundesliga for the BayArena outfit.
In 2015 he signed a five-year contract with Spurs for a fee of £22 million. Son Heung-min made his South Korea debut in a friendly against Syria in 2010.
Highlighted Team (Wales):
Despite being part of the United Kingdom, Wales national football team has been competing in FIFA tournaments since 1950, although they have so far only reached two tournament finals. The Dragons surprised everyone by making it to the quarter-finals at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, but little did they know that it would remain their only World Cup appearance up to date.
Wales had plenty of problems in the European Championship qualifiers as well, but they finally managed to end the barren run by securing their place at the Euro 2016 in France. Led by the likes of Gareth Bale, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Allen and Ashley Williams, the Dragons performed admirably throughout the campaign and even reached the 8th position in the FIFA Rankings in October 2015.
Neville Southall remains the team’s most capped player, but the generation that included Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Craig Bellamy and John Hartson will also be remembered for some impressive performances against top European national teams.
