"I have a very strong selection," he said. "Our preparation was excellent, every minute was well used. We are ready to play."
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia''s coach Helio Cesar dos Anjos was confident that his team is on its way for a fourth title.
Saudi Arabian players are also considered to be better adapted to the hot weather than South Koreans.
But Dos Anjos played down the impact of the weather, just saying: "We are here to win the cup."
Veerbeek admitted the temperatures in tropical Indonesia were an "enemy", but expressed confidence his team would not wilt toward the end.
"One of the strengths of the Koreans is that they will never give up," he said.
In Asian Cup history, Saudi Arabia have claimed titles three times (1984, 1988, 1996) while South Korea have been crowned twice (1956, 1960).
