grapplegraphics.com Kim Young-kwon (33, Ulsan Hyundai) told the story behind the 2022 Qatar World Cup.
On the 13th, Kim Young-kwon appeared on Lee Chun-soo’s channel ‘Lee Chun-soo’ and looked back on the past. The story of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar could not be left out. In particular, he recalled the day he met Ghana in the second match of the group stage and lost 2-3.
A lot happened right after the game ended that day. Korea was awarded a corner kick in extra time in the second half, but referee Anthony Taylor did not give the corner a chance and immediately blew the final whistle. Kim Young-kwon, Son Heung-min, Lee Kang-in, and Kwon Kyung-won, who were nearby the referee, ran to referee Taylor and protested. Referee Taylor responded sternly.
At this time, coach Paulo Bento made a surprise appearance. Before we knew it, he entered the ground and expressed his anger by pointing a point at the referee. Referee Taylor issued a red card to coach Bento, not the player. This is the first coach’s expulsion in World Cup history, and in the aftermath, Coach Bento had to watch the third game against Portugal from the stands rather than the bench.
Kim Young-kwon said, “If I received a yellow card against Ghana, I would not be able to play against Portugal due to the accumulated warnings. He complained to the referee for not awarding a corner kick at the end. The referee put his hand into his back pocket. “It looked like he was going to pull out a card,” she recalled.
He continued, “But someone who was more excited than me swore at the referee in English. I just saw it and it was Director Bento. “He blocked my yellow card and was sent off,” he said. “I have watched Coach Bento for four years. The director is a person who has calculated even that. He has a plan for every action. “He originally was going to say hello after the game and just go in,” he explained.
Jinsu Kim also said something similar in the past. 먹튀검증 Immediately after the Qatar World Cup, Kim Jin-soo appeared on SBS Power FM’s ‘Doo O’clock Escape Cultwo Show’ and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen Coach Bento so angry. “I found out later that there seemed to be a reason for everything,” he said. Coach Bento sacrificed himself to prevent a power leak.
Kim Young-kwon, who avoided card suspension in the game against Ghana thanks to coach Bento, started in the game against Portugal (2-1 win) and scored the equalizing goal. It was his second goal in the World Cup, following the winning goal against Germany (2-0 win) in the 2018 Russia World Cup. For reference, Kim Young-kwon scored a total of 7 goals in international matches, and Korea won all 7 games in which Kim Young-kwon scored.
Kim Young-kwon said, “The Portugal game was much better than the Germany game. “Because he made it to the round of 16,” he said. “I’ve been to the World Cup three times, and it was my first time making it to the round of 16. The possibility of (advancing to the round of 16) was really slim. “It was so much fun,” he said.
Lee Cheon-soo said, ‘Kim Young-kwon’s stake in winning against Portugal is large. Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan received all the issues (by collaborating on a comeback goal). ‘Aren’t you disappointed?’ he asked. Kim Young-kwon said, “Honestly, I was disappointed. “Heechan’s goal was the winning goal, but without my equalizing goal, there would not have been a winning goal,” he said with a laugh.
Coach Bento, who ended his relationship with the Korean national team after the Qatar World Cup, took over the baton of another Asian team, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), last July. Coach Bento immediately reported victory in his debut game, winning 4-1 against Costa Rica in the friendly A match played on the 13th.
Korea may meet Coach Bento as an enemy. Both Korea and the UAE have advanced to the finals of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup, which will open in Qatar in January next year. Korea was placed in Group E of the Asian Cup along with Jordan, Bahrain, and Malaysia. The UAE is in Group C along with Iran, Palestine, and Hong Kong. There is a possibility that Korea and UAE will clash after the quarterfinals of the tournament bracket.
