North Korea manager Kim Chang Bok has said that he is hoping that his team plays an attractive brand of football when they step onto the pitch to take on Vietnam in a friendly match.
This match gives them great opportunity to put behind the disappointment of the Asian cup. North Korea had a very disappointing tournament after finishing bottom of the group without even taking a single point. Not much is expected from them ahead of the World Cup 2018 qualification campaign that will begin in a month. The team start with matches against Yemen and Uzbekistan in the space of a few days.

Hence, they will be looking for the finest possible preparation when they play against Vietnam. This is one of the first high-profile matches that North Korea will be taking part since the disappointing Asian cup in January. They have not been involved in games against top teams since then. Kim Chang Bok has stated that his coaching staffs have helped him take a good look at the recruiting policy of Vietnam and the style of football that they play. This is expected to hold the North Korean team in good stead going into the match.
“We have researched and know that Vietnam is recruiting teams in Southeast Asia and Korea also prepared for the match tomorrow, promises to be very attractive. I hold the Korean team is one month. I am a member of the Korea Football Association. Ingredients to Vietnam were known domestic players have good technique. We promise to play attacking team in the game tomorrow night. Before coming to Vietnam, we have studied the opponent, but do not have much information on Miura head coach,” said the North Korea manager. The World Cup qualification matches start in the second week of June against Yemen.
