Hong Myung-bo will put his youthful South Korea squad to the test on home soil before the FIFA World Cup against Tunisia on Wednesday.
Al Hilal centre-back Kwak Tae-hwi, 32, is the only player over the age of 30 in the 23-man South Korea party that will travel to Brazil.
While Hong s decision to omit several experienced players, including former Bayer Leverkusen and Celtic full-back Cha Du-ri, may be considered a risk, the coach insisted he was happy with the make-up of his squad when unveiling his selection earlier this month.
Wednesday s fixture at the Seoul World Cup Stadium may provide an indication of whether Hong s decisions will be vindicated.
Korea s recent form can best be described as mixed, with the team having claimed five wins and five losses in thei…
Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard insists he is happy at Stamford Bridge and is eyeing the chance to win further trophies with the club.
The Belgium international said last month it would be hard to turn down Paris Saint-Germain and added there was a slim possibility he would not stay put at the end of the season.
But Hazard, who is under contract until 2020, stresses he is content with Chelsea and enjoys competing for silverware in London.
I am always happy here, he told Chelsea TV. Even if I play badly, I am happy. I know this is football but I try to keep a smile on my face every time.
The future is always the same and that is to win trophies, next season, in two and three years.
You want to win the games, to win trophies. [To do that] you have t…

The Spurs boss was honoured after guiding Tthe club to third place in the Premier League last season and a Champions League berth.
I am so happy, said Pochettino, who won the award for the second time after receiving it in 2016. For me, it s a great honour and I know that it means a lot.

Milan extended their 100 per cent start to the Serie A season with a 3-0 win over newly-promoted Spezia at San Siro on Sunday.
Six players kept their places after Thursday s penalty shoot-out win over Rio Ave in the Europa League, and a lack of freshness was apparent in the first half, with Milan struggling to break down their less illustrious opponents.
They looked sharper at the start of the second period, though, and duly went ahead shortly before the hour mark when Rafael Leao prodded home from close range.
Theo Hernandez added a second in the 76th minute before Leao made sure of all three points with another predatory strike two minutes later, as Milan made it three wins from three.

Outgoing Corinthians president Andres Sanchez says the club has the potential to compete with Europe s heavyweights following his tenure.
Sanchez, 47, has completed his four-year term as head of the Sao Paulo giants and will not seek re-election.
He will officially step down on December 15, after which vice president Roberto de Andrade will replace him until the 2012 elections.
Sanchez believes his dynamic leadership means Corinthians will soon start to challenge European clubs on a financial and organisational level.
We are going to be one of the best-structured and richest clubs in the world, he told Globoesporte.
I never promised titles, I promised to rebuild the club I feel fulfilled and I am leaving with my head held high and with the beli…
Robinho s agent Marisa Ramos is confident that a move to Santos will go through in the near future.
Reports have linked the Brazilian with a move away from San Siro, and MLS outfit Orlando City were thought to be among the favourites to secure the forward s services.
Last month Ramos stated it was unlikely that Robinho would remain at Milan, and on Thursday he claimed the 30-year-old was nearing a return to Santos.
It would represent a third spell at the club for the attacker, who began his career at Santos, before a brief loan spell there in 2010 from parent club Manchester City.
This possibility is true, Ramos told UOL Esporte.
[It] depends on [when the] TMS [Transfer Matching System] is released, the system of FIFA.
If it happens wit…
Lutz Pfannenstiel is confident Hoffenheim can keep talented pair Kevin Volland and Roberto Firmino at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.
Hoffenheim s head of international relations and scouting hopes the club can hang onto star names such as Kevin Volland and Roberto Firmino despite apparent interest from some of Europe s top clubs.
The pair have regularly been linked with moves abroad during recent seasons, with Brazilian midfielder Firmino having been a reported target for Premier League club Liverpool and Italian giants Juventus.
Volland s form since arriving from 1860 Munich in 2011 has helped him earn a breakthrough into the German national side, while Firmino has also been rewarded with a place in Brazil s squad during recent seasons.
Lutz Pfannenstiel hopes…

Ballooning development budgets are one of the AAA games industry’s biggest issues at present, though certain developers manage to find ways to develop consistently high-quality titles on fairly reasonable budgets. Remedy Entertainment is one of the most prominent studios in that group, and it looks like it’s looking to accomplish something similar with the upcoming Control 2.
During its recent Capital Day Markets 2024 presentation, Remedy Entertainment revealed that Control 2 is being developed on a budget of about €50 million. According to the studio, the sequel, which it has confirmed is going to be an action RPG, will need to sell about 3-4 million units for Remedy to double its investment in the production. The first Control
