Friendly Match : Spain vs South Korea

After naming his final 23-man squad for Euro 2016 there will be further opportunities for Spain coach Vicente del Bosque to experiment on Wednesday evening when his side face South Korea. Sunday saw La Roja give debuts to Hector Bellerin and Marco Asensio in a 3-1 victory over Bosnia, although it is worth pointing out that the Bosnians played for more than half the game with 10 men.

The La Furia Roja got back to winning ways in their last game against Bosnia-Herzegovina after being held to a draw in each of their last two games. There is plenty of positives from that performance for Del Bosque after missing a number of key players due to the
Champions League final between Real and Atletico on Saturday night. There is also enough dilemma for the veteran coach as he must now decide which two players are to be omitted from his 25-men preliminary squad.

Pedro hopes to add to his Spain tally when Vicente del Bosque's side take on South Korea on Wednesday with Euro 2016 fast approaching.

South Korea are coming on the back of some excellent form. They haven’t conceded a goal in their last 10 games and won in each of their last 9 matches. This Korean side has plenty of experience at their squad captained by Swansea midfielder Ki Sung-yueng. But the 23 year old Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min is unarguably the most exciting player in the squad, but Porto striker Suk Hyun-jun is the player to watch on Wednesday’s friendly.
