Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min is in action as South Korea face Bahrain in the opening match of Group E of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup.
Jurgen Klinsmann’s squad is stacked with talent: Kim Min-jae, of Bayern Munich, earned a Ballon d’Or nomination for his part in Napoli’s first Serie A title since 1990; Hwang Hee-chan has been fantastic with 10 goals and three assists in 20 games for Wolverhampton Wanderers, while Lee Kang-in has secured a starting spot at Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.
South Korea boast a strong mix of European-based players, supplemented by some of the K-League’s finest, particularly in defence. They will undoubtedly be one of the firm favourites to win the trophy in Qatar.
Bahrain will certainly be up against it. The last time the Red Devils defeated South Korea was back in 2007. Still, Klinsmann’s side have not won this tournament since 1960, so the pressure is certainly on them to perform.
