South Korea coach Paulo Bento is praying that he doesn’t get any calls from Europe within the week. As the vital World Cup qualifiers near, Korean football Eurostars are keeping themselves healthy and fit.
Many national football team members in Europe still have some games before the match against Syria on October 7. However, according to online gambling reports, Bento hopes the players avoid injuries. Also, the good news is that Son Heung-min is back in Tottenham Hotspur’s active roster.
According to sports news sources, Son met Hwang Hee-chan and the Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League Cup. Hwang joined the Wolves in August and has been impressive. In his debut, he helped his team win against Watford after coming off the bench.

The Spurs and Wolves game ended in a 2-2 draw. However, the former won in the penalty shootout. After the match, the two South Koreans shared a hug. Hwang said that Son is the representative of Korean football. Also, he is the role model for all Korean players.
People who bet on basketball and football games were happy about Hwang’s performance despite the loss. Hwang said that facing Son motivated him to perform well. When asked about his first goal in the Premier League, he said it was an honor to score it when the team needed one the most.
Although Hwang had several highlights for Korea, fans wish he would be more consistent. Nevertheless, it is suitable for the team if Son and Hwang play together for South Korea against Syria and Iran.
In the two first qualifying games, South Korea earned four points. Also, only two teams will qualify for the World Cup. Therefore, they need to win the remaining games to ensure their place in the World Cup.
