Alert: KSA vs North Korea - WC 2010 Qualifier - Leg 1 in (PyongYang) North Korea

Dear friends,

Now the North Korean team is technically "Perfect". However, there are some loop-holes in the North Korean teams as under:

The North Korean team is wanerable in the air near the six yard box.
The North Korean Goalie is also wanerable on headers as well as (ground level) stong shots near the goal posts on either side.
The North Korean Goal Keeper is stong when the ball is directed in his center

The North Korean forward on the right side i.e., right hand side center forward or right in & right out are dangerous and can score on smelling it.
The North Korean team doesn't wastes any opportunity to shot on the goal when the opportunity is provided.
North Korean # 12 is dangerous in terms of heading the ball for a goal.
The North Korean team mostly plays from center to flanks (wings) and then it either minus the ball towards the center or shoot at goal when near the penalty or six yard box.

I have a stong belief that if Saudi Arabia plays with all it's main players including Tayseer, Nour, Yasser, Malek and Abdoh as well as Shalhoub then we can beat the North Koreans in North Korea !!!

Go get them ....

 

O.K. guys, here's an update on the North Korean Football Team:

1. The defence is the foundation and is famed throughout Asia after not conceding a single goal during six games in the third round of qualification.
2. It has been a little more porous since and suspicions are growing that the team’s goalkeeping problems have not been solved. A lack of competent shotstopping in qualification for the 2006 World Cup stopped the campaign in its tracks. Ri Myung-guk won’t be the only one hoping that his form improves in the second half of the campaign.
   
3. With the team’s counter-attacking style, it is vital that the strikers take what chances come their way. After starting 2008 and the East Asian championships in blistering form, Jung Tae-se, the ‘People’s Rooney’, finished the J-League season in fine form and his goals helped Kawasaki Frontale finish second in Japan.
   
4. Hong Yong-jo is adept at coming from deep to making use of that space. Hong, who plays his club football in Russia, is, perhaps, the Kenny Dalglish to Jung’s Ian Rush and his set piece skills are another asset.
5. With the under-rated An Yong-hak patrolling the middle, North Korea use the ball well and have team spirit coming out of their ears.

So, North Koreans will definitely try to shot on target from outside the box once they get an opportunity or they will try to penetrate from the flanks and shoot.
They will surely play counter attacking football
North Korean defence is stong and Saudis will find it almost impossible for it to be breakup or penetrated so the best option for the saudis will be to Shoot at Sight as the North Korea goalie is also not good at stopping shots on goal.

Saudi will be playing the game in - (Minus) below 0 degree temperature (that will be too cold and probably snowing) and infront of a noisy crowd, so, the saudis should prepare well as it is a crusial must win match.

I sure hope Nasser Al Johar reads this or atleast someone referrs these tips to him.

 

I hope that the Saudi FA specially Prince Sultan now start focusing on February 11, 2009 match which is not too far away ....

Saudis should play at least 3 friendlies and one against Japan would be splendid specially if it can be played in Japan !

I recon Saudis should arrange a friendly against Denmark as North Korea has recently played against the Danes and lost 1-0 .

 

Thats Gr8 .... Against Japan in Japan is just perfect .... I hope they play at least 2 friendlies against Japan ...
