Doha, December 01 (QNA) - South Korea manager Paulo Bento said that his side's Friday's match against Portugal in Group H's final game in FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 would be tough. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, the Portuguese said they would face a tough team that includes the best players in the history of Portuguese football. South Korea are required to win to continue their World Cup journey, stressing his confidence in his players' abilities. The team must show cooperation to present a strong match and do their best to achieve victory against a strong and well-organized opponent, he added. Bento will manage his players from the stands after being sent off at the end of their 2-3 loss to Ghana in the second group stage match. Commenting on his suspension, Bento said he was impulsive due to what he considered an unfair decision when the referee blew the final whistle moments after South Korea had won a corner. (QNA)
