It was a compliment from Kuwait coach Juan Antonio Fitch. Kuwait was defeated 0-4 in the final Group B match of the 2026 North-China World Cup Asia 3rd qualifying round against South Korea at Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 10th. Kuwait, which had only five draws and four losses in the previous nine games, lost until the last game, ending the third qualifying round without a win. I was at the bottom of the table.
Coach Fitch said in a press conference after the game that it was a difficult game. The Korean national team is one of the strongest teams in the world. We faced a stronger Korea than us, but we lost unfortunately. I wasn't going to lose in the first half, but it's a shame. Korea is strong team-wise and personally." "Every time I look at Korea, I'm showing my outstanding skills in the game. Individually and team-wise are outstanding. It has excellent quick movement and space utilization. It is not known in the world, but there are many good players. The Korean national team is making progress."
Coach Fitch praised South Korea in a pre-press conference the previous day. Fitch said, `I personally think the Korean national team is one of the seven best teams in the world"Korea is one of the best teams in the world. I'm talking based on my experience. It's been more than seven years working in the Gulf. I watched a lot of games. Korea has excellent capabilities both individually and as a team. The players are very fast and have a lot of tactics. He has a lot of experience. I respect Korea, and I think it's a team with the best players. There are many outstanding teams in the world, but among them, I think Brazil, Germany, France, and England are outstanding. I think Korea, Japan and Croatia have also shown outstanding performances in recent years."
After the game, my thoughts remained the same. Coach Peach said, `Today's game was great. Korea is an excellent team in tactics, physical strength, and control."
