Tonight's Newspaper looks ahead to China's World Cup away match against South Korea, emphasizing the importance of the match. The article notes that the outcome of China's match against Thailand will have a direct impact on their challenge against South Korea. If China can beat Thailand at home, they will have a chance to advance, but if they fail to do so, it will be extremely tough for them to face South Korea on the road.
South Korea have their own goals in mind as they aspire to be seeded in the Asian 18, so are unlikely to give up easily against China. Thailand's match against Singapore is also scheduled to take place at a similar time to China's match against South Korea, meaning that the Thais could adjust their own strategy based on China's performance, increasing the likelihood that China will find themselves in a difficult situation.
According to reports, the Chinese national team will gather again on the 27th of this month, and players in excellent form such as Alan are expected to be included in the list. In addition, suspended Wu Lei and Li Yuanyi are also likely to be called up for the final round of matches.
