2022 World Cup: South Korea coach Bento feels no pressure ahead of Ghana showdown

South Korea head coach Paulo Bento says he is under no pressure ahead of their crucial second World Cup Group match against Ghana.

The Asian country played out a gritty 0-0 draw with Uruguay while the Black Stars lost 3-2 to Portugal on Thursday.

Both teams desperately need a victory after dropping points in the first game.

“I said earlier I do not feel any pressure, I never did and never will,” Portuguese Bento told reporters on Sunday.

“During the first game, we had a chance of at least ensuring a third-place finish. In the second game, we will keep this opportunity… we will enter the field with a focus on a win.

“I don’t feel any pressure whatsoever. I would love the players to feel the way I do, but I know they come from a different culture… We will have a difficult game but we are able to do well.”
