In a press conference held at the Estadio Monterrey in Guadalupe, Mexico, on June 24, Broos noted that not having to consider various scenarios makes the situation easier. He emphasized that the players will give their best effort to secure a victory.
"South Korea is a well-disciplined team with good physical attributes. They can perform well for 90 minutes," Broos said, adding that it is crucial to figure out how to counter South Korea's strengths and exploit their weaknesses.
Broos acknowledged the difficulty in deciding on tactics, whether to be more aggressive or to wait, especially since South Korea also has a stake in the match with a record of one win and one loss. "One thing is clear: we must win," he stated.
He also mentioned that just a month ago, he was not familiar with South Korea, but now recognizes that they have advanced technology and equipment for analyzing technical and tactical aspects. "We are well prepared for tomorrow's match," he said.
Broos expressed concern about player fatigue, noting the challenges of time zone differences and exhaustion. "It's not ideal, but that's the concept of the World Cup. We have to adapt," he explained.
The final group stage match between South Korea and South Africa is scheduled for June 25 at 10 a.m. at Estadio Monterrey.
