The group stage of the World Cup is over, the elimination games have begun, in which there is no room for error. These are the games in which the difference in quality really comes to the fore, and we can hardly expect any big surprises by the end of the tournament. The strongest teams in the world in the groups in some matches had the luxury of resting the main players, many teams calculated, but there is no more room for that. The favorites in the first four games of the 1/8 finals took it the right way and all except Argentina won with 3 goals scored. Brazil - South Korea match is a similar match to the previous four that we had the opportunity to watch in the 1/8 finals. One team is a clear favorite, while the other will definitely try to do something more on the field. In the group, Brazil achieved two wins and one loss against Cameroon, but they played that match with maximum relief and in a mixed line-up, so that defeat did not worry anyone. Similar to the other favorites in this type of game, Brazil will without hesitation shift into "fifth gear" and show all the quality it possesses. Although Brazil is full of world-class players, the news that Neymar could be fit for this match made all their fans happy. Even if he is not in the team for this match, Brazil certainly has a huge number of players who can change the course of the game with one move. In my opinion, they have a similar style of play to France, in the sense that most of their attacks go through very fast wingers like Vinicius, Raphinha, Antony, Rodrygo, Martinelli... But it's not all about attack, Brazil can certainly boast of a great defense and midfield. They have at least two world-class players in every position on the field, and I expect that the difference in quality between the players of Brazil and Korea will really be visible in this match. In such matches, no great motivation is needed, but some additional motive for the Brazilians can be the fact that if they reach the semi-finals, they will meet Argentina there, of course if they do their part. Certainly, the Brazilians have the desire to avenge their defeat in the Copa America and to end the streak of three games without a win against their biggest rival.

The placement of South Korea in this stage of the competition can be considered one of the biggest surprises of this World Cup. They reached it after a 2-1 victory against Portugal in the last moments of the match. I don't want to downplay their great success, but I have to mention that Portugal played that match quite relieved and without Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Ruben Dias, Joao Felix. The big question is what the result of that game would have been if the game had been more important to Portugal and they had come out with the strongest team. Koreans play very disciplined every game, without unnecessary rushing into attack and are very well organized in defense. However, one of the biggest problems before this match could be poor defending during crosses or penetration of the opponent on the wing. All 4 goals that they conceded in the group came exactly that way. With an average height of about 180 cm, there are noticeable problems in jumping when defending his goal. And today's opponent can really threaten after corners and free kicks. The main star of this team is undoubtedly Heung-Min Son, who, at least in my opinion, has been very little noticed until now. One of the reasons for that could be playing with a mask on his face, which certainly hinders him to a certain extent, and another, perhaps even more important, is that all rivals know that they must not leave much space for him to outplay his teammates. I believe that Casemiro will be in charge of guarding him and if he successfully shuts him down, I don't expect too much from other Korean players. I am sure that Brazil will be the team that will be questioned about everything in this match and that they will leave very little space for the Koreans to create an attack. Brazil play slowly and without risk until they score the first goal, but after breaking through the opponent's defense, it seems as if the players relax and don't stop there, but start to be even more dangerous. To summarize, the favorites take these matches very seriously, I believe that Brazil will do the same and that they can decide this match in their favor at least with a two goal difference.

世界杯小组赛已经结束，淘汰赛已经开始，没有任何失误的余地。在这些比赛中，质量上的差异真正凸显出来，我们很难期待在比赛结束时有任何大的惊喜。在小组赛的一些比赛中，世界上最强的球队可以让主力球员休息，很多球队都算过了，但现在已经没有这样的空间了。在1/8决赛的前四场比赛中最受欢迎的球队都采取了正确的方式，除了阿根廷，所有球队都以3球获胜。巴西和韩国的比赛与我们在1/8决赛中看到的前四场比赛相似。一支球队显然是最受欢迎的，而另一支球队肯定会在球场上做更多的事情。小组赛中，巴西队在对阵喀麦隆时取得了2胜1负的成绩，但他们在那场比赛中发挥出了最大程度的放松和混合阵容，所以这场失利没有让任何人担心。与这类比赛中的其他热门球队一样，巴西队将毫不犹豫地进入“第五档”，展现出它所拥有的全部实力。虽然巴西有很多世界级的球员，但内马尔可以参加这场比赛的消息让所有的球迷都很高兴。即使他没有入选本场比赛的阵容，巴西也肯定有大量的球员可以通过一个动作改变比赛的进程。在我看来，他们的打法和法国队很像，他们的大部分进攻都是通过像维尼修斯、拉芬哈、安东尼、罗德里戈、马蒂内利这样的快速边锋完成的……但这并不全是进攻，巴西当然可以以强大的防守和中场而自豪。他们在场上的每个位置上都至少有两名世界级的球员，我希望在这场比赛中，巴西和韩国球员之间的水平差异会真正显现出来。在这样的比赛中，不需要太大的动力，但对巴西人来说，另一个动力可能是，如果他们进入半决赛，他们将在那里遇到阿根廷，当然，如果他们尽了自己的一份力。当然，巴西人渴望为他们在美洲杯上的失败复仇，并结束他们对最大对手的三场不败。

韩国队在这个阶段的表现可以被认为是本届世界杯最大的意外之一。在比赛的最后时刻，他们以2-1战胜葡萄牙，成功晋级。我不想贬低他们的巨大成功，但我不得不提的是，葡萄牙在那场比赛中非常放松，没有布鲁诺·费尔南德斯、贝尔纳多·席尔瓦、鲁本·迪亚斯和若昂·菲利克斯。最大的问题是，如果这场比赛对葡萄牙队更重要，并且他们派出了最强的球队，比赛的结果会是什么。韩国人每场比赛都很有纪律，没有不必要的匆忙进攻，防守也很有组织。然而，在这场比赛之前，最大的问题之一可能是边路传中或突破对手时的防守不力。他们在小组中丢的4个球都是这样的。他的平均身高约为180厘米，在防守时跳跃有明显的问题。而今天的对手在角球和任意球后真的可以威胁对手。这支球队的主要明星无疑是孙兴慜，至少在我看来，他在此之前很少被注意到。其中一个原因可能是他在比赛中戴着面具，这在一定程度上肯定会阻碍他，另一个可能更重要的原因是，所有的对手都知道，他们不能给他留下太多的空间来超越他的队友。我相信卡塞米罗会负责防守他，如果他能成功地压制住他，我对其他韩国球员不抱太高的期望。我确信巴西将会是在这场比赛中被质疑的球队，他们将会给韩国留下很少的进攻空间。巴西踢得很慢，没有任何风险，直到他们打进第一个球，但在突破对手的防守后，球员似乎放松了，并没有停留在那里，但开始更加危险。总而言之，热门球队非常重视这些比赛，我相信巴西也会这么做，他们至少可以在两个净胜球的情况下决定这场比赛对他们有利。
