The national soccer team, which left for Kuwait ahead of the World Cup qualifying round, has begun training as a whole there.

He is determined to advance to the World Cup finals by winning all two consecutive games in the Middle East, the last A match of this year.

Hong Myung-bo, who exposed his anxiety by drawing a draw against Palestine, which he first took the helm in September, has since won three consecutive games.

He dominated both Jordan and Iraq, which were considered tricky opponents, and took the lead by three points.

In particular, he caught two rabbits, testing the performance of new faces without captain Son Heung-min, who needed time to recover from injury, not only the results of the game but also confirming the competitiveness of the national team's "young blood."

This year's last A-match, the two away games against Kuwait and Palestine, is an opportunity to peak the national team's atmosphere on a good track.

The national team has a slight advantage with 12 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses against Kuwait, but since losing the Asian Cup in 2000, it has never lost in eight matches with 7 wins and 1 draw.

In addition, they first met and tied Palestinians in an A-match last September.

Of the six countries in Group A, only two teams have no wins.

Although it is an away game, this is why there is a prospect that Hong Myung-bo can win two consecutive games and advance to the World Cup finals.

[Hong Myung-bo / Head coach of the national soccer team: This is the last game of the year for our team. I think it's a very important schedule.]

The national team, which entered Kuwait in 16 hours, was finally complete with European players Son Heung-min, Seol Young-woo and Oh Hyun-kyu joining.

The training period for all 26 people is only one day, but they are showing better and better chemistry than ever, so I expect better results than ever.
