Hong Myung-bo's three-back, which seemed to be working properly in the U.S. away game in September, revealed a myriad of problems in front of the world's strongest strikers. It seems necessary to think more deeply about Plan A tactics in preparation for the 2026 North Korea-China World Cup finals.
South Korea's A national soccer team, led by head coach Hong Myung-bo, is 0 to 0 in an A-match friendly match against Brazil, ranked sixth in the FIFA rankings, held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 10th…be completely defeated by. South Korea, which lost consecutive points to Istevan (Chelsea) in the 13th minute and Rodrigo (Real Madrid) in the 41st minute, lost 0-2 in the first half without reversal in the second half, and South Korea lost six straight A matches with Brazil, while the FIFA ranking score was inevitable.
The defense was the problem. Hong placed Cho Yoo-min (Sharja) and Kim Joo-sung (Sanfrecce Hiroshima) on both sides with Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) as his three-back axis. Seol Young-woo (Trvena Zvezda) and Lee Tae-seok (Austria Vienna) were placed at both wing backs. It was a de facto five-back. The strategy was to see the opportunity with the flash plays of Son Heung-min (LAFC), Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), and Lee Jae-sung (Mainz) while stabilizing defensively. In a 4-2-4 formation, Brazil set up an attacking quartet with Vinicius Junior, Rodrigo (Real), Matheus Cunya (Manchester United) and Istevan.

As expected, Brazil's attack was fierce. In the fourth and 10th minutes of the first half, Rodrigo and Vinicius attempted bold mid-range shots to break South Korea's dense defense. The first goal was scored in the 13th minute of the first half. Estebang, who was handed Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle)'s penetration pass in the penalty box, opened the goal with a right-footed shot aimed at the top of the goal to avoid the defense of South Korean goalkeeper Cho Hyun-woo (Ulsan), who ran out. Guimarangis targeted the space between center back Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) and left wing back Lee Tae-seok (Austria Vienna) for the moment when South Korean three-back center back Kim Joo-sung (Sanfrecce Hiroshima) advanced.
Even in the 41st minute of the first half, the three-back did not function properly. Vinicius, who caught the ball deep on the left side of the Korean side, poked a pass to Casemiro (Manchester United) in the box. Casemiro connected the pass to Hodrigu in front with a non-stop, and Hodrigu, who caught the ball, lightly beat Markman Seol Young-woo and scored an additional goal with a right-footed shot. Cho Yoo-min fell to the side and blocked Vinicius, and Seol Young-woo did not properly share the roles with each other in a miss match situation where he held out in the penalty area.
South Korea brought midfielder Hwang In-beom (Feyenoord) to the bench at half-time and Jens Kastrov (Borussia Mönchengladbach) to make changes in the midfield. It was Hong's plan to put more effort into the midfield fight, but the defense collapsed even before the Jens effect was revealed. In the second half of the second half, it was caught by Estebang that Kim Min-jae, who received Kim Joo-sung's back pass in the penalty area, handed Kim Joo-sung the return pass again. Estebang, who caught the ball, quickly ran to the front of the goal and opened the goal with his left foot.

Defensive midfielder Baek Seung-ho's ball guard was disappointing in the fourth minute and the fourth loss. The Brazilian strongly pressed Baek Seung-ho, who received the ball from the Korean side, to draw an error. Vinicius, who received the pass, gave the pass to Hodrigo, who ran to the left, and Hodrigo scored multiple goals with a right-footed shot toward the right side of the goal. With two mistakes in the second half, the cover of fellow defenders was also late.
In the 18th minute of the second half, South Korea took out Son Heung-min, Lee Jae-sung and Kim Min-jae at the same time and put Oh Hyun-kyu (Henk), Kim Jin-kyu and Park Jin-seop (Jeonbuk) at the same time. However, in the 32nd minute of the second half, the defense was helplessly penetrated by Vinicius's speed and dribble, giving up the fifth goal. It was a scene where the team failed to stop one individual. Hong Myung-bo was defeated 0-5 with a lot of homework.
