The national team, joined by Son Heung-min, officially begins tactical training in preparation for the Mexico match

The football national team led by head coach Hong Myungbo completed a fullgroup training session for the first time to prepare for the match against Mexico. On the 16th (Korean time), the national team finished recovery after the Czech Republic match at a training ground in Zapopan, Mexico, and began tactical drills. With Kim Taehyun and Bae Joonho, who had been sidelined by injuries, returning, all 26 players on the final roster trained together. On the training ground, Son Heungmin lifted the mood by encouraging his teammates with his voice, and the players continued with agility training, passing practice, and closed tactical training. Korea defeated the Czech Republic 21 on the 12th and got off to a winning start in its first World Cup groupstage match. Now it will play its second match against cohost Mexico at the same venue on the 19th. In terms of the attacking lineup, possible changes to Son Heungmin's position are drawing attention. One option being discussed is moving Son Heungmin, who started as a lone striker against the Czech Republic, to the left wing and placing Oh Hyeongyu, who has a strong scoring instinct, up front.
