According to a reporter in Seoul, the Korean team is in high spirits after a convincing 4-0 victory over Tunisia, in which midfielder Lee Kang-in (currently on the payroll of Paris Saint-Germain - France) scored two goals. This is also the second consecutive victory of the Korean team under coach Jurgen Klinsmann.

Vietnam (ranked 95th in the world) may not be a big challenge for South Korea (ranked 26th in the world). However, coach Klinsmann and his colleagues see the match with coach Philippe Troussier's team as an opportunity to prepare the "Taeguk Warriors" for the upcoming matches in the World Cup and Asian Cup qualifiers.

Captain Son Heung-min did not play in the match against Tunisia due to injury. Head coach Klinsmann may continue to rest Son Heung-min in the match against the Vietnamese team.

However, there are many other notable faces in the Korean squad, including central defender Kim Min-jae (currently playing for Bayern Munich - Germany). With full strength and speed, Kim Min-jae was the one who successfully blocked many counter-attack opportunities of Tunisia in the friendly match last weekend. He also actively participated in the attack with accurate long passes and his header from Lee Kang-in's corner kick led to Tunisia's own goal.
