Moreno prepares four candidates for every position and will personally pick his first Korea squad

Roberto Moreno has not yet entered South Korea, but the new interim coach has already built a four-player pool for every position ahead of his first national team selection.

Moreno, appointed on the 1st, is expected to announce his first squad after arriving in the country. The squad will cover South Korea's four A-match fixtures in September and October, with an announcement planned for the 14th.

The Strengthening Committee office delivered Moreno the national team list from the last World Cup, the World Cup standby list, and the Nagoya Asian Games standby list, but we heard that Moreno's side had already made four-player lists for each position.

The Korea Football Association gave Moreno information on the squad from the last World Cup, its standby list for that tournament, and the standby list for the Nagoya Asian Games. According to an association official cited by News1, Moreno's side had already created four-player lists by position.

The official said Moreno had also studied Gimcheon Sangmu's players and the club's characteristics. Preparing four options for each position suggested that his analysis extended beyond Europe-based players to those competing in the K League. The coach is expected to name the squad after entering South Korea, ahead of the match scheduled for the 24th.

As already reported, Moreno had also fully understood the players at Gimcheon Sangmu and the characteristics of the team. If he made four-player lists for each position, it would be difficult to do that with only Europe-based players, so it means he had already closely analyzed K League players as well.
