There will be two games on February 9th13rd, Beijing time. First, Germany will play against South Korea. At present, Germany ranks sixth. Because of the absence of the main players, Germany can advance to the second stage of the round robin, and has already completed its task. However, the contestants have achieved their goals. In order to gain the ranking advantage, their strength is really not strong enough.
In the face of a strong South Korean team, Germany is unlikely to win. At present, the main purpose of Germany is to ensure that the team will not be at the bottom. However, South Korea must win this game, because the last game is against Guo Ping, and there is little hope of winning. This may be South Korea's final victory.
In addition, the South Korean team was interviewed after defeating the Japanese team. Lin Zhongxun said that there were many fans cheering for them in this game. I hope to cheer for the Korean team in the next game against Guo Ping. Although it's a joke, Lin Zhongxun should know that facing the German team, it should be the last time for Guo Ping fans to cheer for them.
