While the team finished the game against Singapore without conceding a goal with a new defensive combination, attention is focused on whether Kim Do-hoon, the interim coach of the national soccer team, will use a new defensive combination in the upcoming match against China.

A number of new defenders were selected Possibility of a new combination ↑ Jinsu Kim, Kyungwon Kwon, Yumin Jo, and Jaewon Hwang selected for the Singapore game

Kim Do-hoon will play the 6th and final home game of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asian region second qualifying round against China at Sangam World Cup Stadium in Seoul on the 11th.

Currently, the national team has Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), the center of Korean soccer's defense, who was in charge of central defense for a long time, as well as Kim Young-kwon and Seol Young-woo (Ulsan HD) leaving due to injuries and other reasons.

While these players were missing, coach Kim Do-hoon surprisingly selected a number of new players who had not previously been selected for the national team.

Coach Kim started the combination of Jin-soo Kim (Jeonbuk), Gyeong-won Kwon (Suwon FC), Yu-min Cho (Sharjah) and Jae-won Hwang (Daegu) as a defensive four in the game against Singapore on the 6th.

Although it was an unfamiliar defensive combination made up of unfamiliar faces except Kim Jin-su, they recorded no runs in the game that day and contributed to a 7-0 victory in Game 5.

However, some inexperienced players made several mistakes in the early stages of the game, creating dangerous situations. Coach Kim Do-hoon attempted a new change in the second half of the game, replacing Hwang Jae-won with Park Seung-wook (Gimcheon), and Park Seung-wook responded by recording one assist and exceeding expectations. The Korean national team (23rd in FIFA rankings) is significantly ahead of its opponent in the 6th game, China (88th in FIFA rankings). Their record against their opponents in the last 5 games is also ahead with 4 wins and 1 loss. Last November, the Korean national team led by interim coach Hwang Seon-hong met China in the second round of the second qualifying round and won 3-0. Statistically, there is a high possibility of victory against China, and as Coach Kim Do-hoon has selected a large number of new defenders, the possibility that he will have various players play in Game 6 is not low. First, Park Seung-wook, who was selected to the national team for the first time in his career, and Ha Chang-rae (Nagoya) are expected to compete as central defenders. Competition for selection will not be easy as Kwon Kyung-won and Jo Yu-min, who appeared in the last game against Singapore, were active in offense and defense and showed good performances, but Park Seung-wook, who was substituted as a side defender at the time, also showed great performance and played in his original position as central defender in the game against China. There is a possibility that it will be put to the test. In the side defense position, veteran defender Kim Jin-su is firmly securing one position, so Choi Jun (Seoul) is expected to compete with Hwang Jae-won for the remaining position. Among the seven new players selected for the national team, Choi Jun was the only one other than goalkeeper Hwang In-jae (Pohang) to not play in the game against Singapore. However, as Hwang Jae-won showed a few disappointing performances in the last game, there is a possibility that Coach Kim will give Choi Jun a chance as well. With many of the national team's regular defenders leaving, attention is being paid to whether Coach Kim Do-hoon will be able to find the optimal defensive combination and complete the national team's Plan B lineup.
