"It would have been better if we had 3 points, but it was a very good match because it made us look forward to the next game in terms of performance," he said on Joong Ang as quoted by GHANASoccernet.
"I think we can go far," he added.
"If we make up for two things against Ghana, victory is possible. And from the middle of the second half, the entire line was pushed back by the opponent, but we have to play more actively instead of lowering the line. If so, we can get 3 points in the match against Ghana."

South Korea progressed to the second round four years ago after shocking Germany in their group.

However, they have to beat Ghana and possible get a draw from their last game against Portugal to progress.

Ghana lost their opening game in controversial circumstances against Portugal last Thursday.
