South Korea defender Lee Han-beom has disclosed they are aiming for a win against South African and nothing less

South Korea defender Lee Han-beom has disclosed that they are not looking at anything less than a win against South Africa on Thursday.

The Korean revealed that the word ‘draw’ does not exist in their camp and only the word ‘win’ is prevalent ahead of their clash against Bafana Bafana.

Korea are second in Group A with three points behind Mexico who are on top with six points with Czechia and Bafana competing the group with single point apiece, on third and fourth places, respectively.

A draw or win for Korea is enough for them to go to the next round while Bafana need an outright win to finish second.

According to the defender, Korea are highly hyped up for the match.

"The players absolutely do not have the mindset that we can settle for a draw against South Africa,” Lee said, per The Chosun Daily.

“There is no complacency, and we are preparing with the determination to win.”

Part of the Koreans plan is to ensure they don't allow goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams, to build from the back as he usually does.

"Since the goalkeeper has good kicking and build-up skills, applying pressure upfront will be important,” Lee explained.

And they also devised a strategy on how to stop Bafana's attacking options.

“Defensively, since the opposing players are fast, we aim to avoid leaving space behind when pushing up the defensive line,” he said.

The match is on Thursday morning at 3am South African time.
