June 9th, 2009 | By: Fulanito | No Comments »

On their first training session on South Korean soil and after arriving yesterday in Seoul, the Saudi squad is in preparation for their tomorrow’s game against host country (South Korea) the Saudi team led by their Coach Mr. Peseiro is focusing on attacking football.

In one of the most weighted Asian soccer games Saudi Arabia vs South Korea is set to duel tomorrow on Wednesday June 10th (11:00 GMT) for the Asian Nations race to World Cup 2010.

The first leg was disastrous for the Saudis in which South Korea managed to defeat the (Green Falcons) in Riyadh 2-0. Peseiro was seen determined to push his team to the limit playing attacking football with concentration on shots pre to penalty box; moreover, He is asking his players for the remaining six points meaning to win the two South and North Korean games to own direct pass to South Africa rather than looking at other’s matches and calculations.

Peseiro has called on new names in addition to well-known talented players with more caps such as Yasser Al-Qahtani (striker) and Abdulaziz Al-Saran (forward) thinking to leave no execuse for the team but to fulfill their committment to the whole Saudi nation.

Although some setback happened when Osama Al Muwallad (defender) is on suspension for accepting two yellow cards on two previous matches (Iran and UAE). Osama became one of the solutions to his national team by scoring header goals in addition to his great defending skills for he enjoys an incredible level of fitness and body construction.

Taking the lead:

South Korea is topping the group with 4 wins, 2 draws, 0 defeat whilst have played 6 matches.
Saudi Arabia is below North Korea with 3 wins, 1 draw, 2 loss whilst have played 6 matches.

Will the Saudis be ready for taking the lead ? in which they have to win their two remaining games or at least achieve second place and cut their own boarding pass to join South Korea to the finals. That’s what we all soccer fanatics going to find out tomorrow.
