    Brazil face South Korea in a hotly-anticipated international friendly in Abu Dhabi at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium on Tuesday, 5:30pm.

    The Brazilians are fresh from a disappointing defeat to bitter South American rivals Argentina in Saudi Arabia while their opponents on Tuesday have begun the qualification stage for the 2022 World Cup and will use this fixture as part of their preparations.

    This is the first time fans have had the chance to see Brazil play in the UAE since their 3-0 victory over Iran back in 2010. The game is part of the Brazil Global Tour, which also included the fixture with Argentina.

    A strong Brazilian team is expected to feature in Abu Dhabi, including superstars Gabriel Jesus, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino, Thiago Silva and Alisson among others.

    The 2002 FIFA World Cup semi-finalists and 2019 AFC Asian Cup quarter-finalists, South Korea will be led by Tottenham superstar Son Heung-min.

    And ahead of the encounter the Spurs forward spoke to media to get his thoughts on the enticing clash.
