South Korea Starting Eleven

Shin Tae Yong is a football strategy mastermind, and we think that South Korea needs exactly that to proceed far in the World Cup. Known to be a very clinical team, South Korea has managed to somehow qualify for the World Cup by mostly running the 4-2-3-1 formation.

However, given the different strategies that Shin Tae Yong may choose run throughout the World Cup series, we would definitely be seeing a whole variety of players from the 23 man squad of South Korea. Here are the 11 man starting lineup that will represent South Korea in their few early games.

Kim Seung-gyu (Vissel Kobe)
Jang Hyun-soo (FC Tokyo)
Yun Yong-sun (Seongnam FC)
Lee Yong (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors)
Park Joo-ho (Ulsan Hyundai)
Ki Sung-yueng (Swansea City)
Jung Woo-young (Vissel Kobe)
Lee Jae-sung (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors)
Lee Seung-woo (Hellas Verona)
Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)
Hwang Hee-chan (FC Red Bull Salzburg)

Fortunately for South Korea, both their star players, Son Heung Min and Ki Sung Yeung are in top form. Ki is known to be able to create scoring opportunities even in the most impossible of times and Son is more than capable of finishing goals.
