The soccer team, who suffered a’Yokohama disaster’ due to a 0-3 defeat in Japan and Japan, returned to Korea quietly with a dark expression.

Among the national team, the K-Leagers, excluding foreigners, returned to Korea through Incheon Airport on the afternoon of the 26th. There were no special media events held according to the Corona 19 safety rules.

The expression of the national team, who was humiliated by their helpless performance, was dark. The team, whose laughter disappeared, moved while wearing a mask and face shield. Foreigners such as Lee Kang-in (Valencia) and Jung Woo-young (Freiburg) returned to their team immediately and did not appear at the airport.

The players returning to Korea will immediately go to the Paju National Team Training Center (NFC), quarantine the cohort (same group) by the 2nd of next month, return to their team, and train for the remainder of the week in isolation, and compete in the K-League game. . The coaching staff, including manager Bento, all train with the players at Paju NFC.

In the 80th Korea-Japan match held on the 25th, the national team was so helpless that only one effective shot was by Lee Dong-jun (Ulsan Hyundai) in the 39th minute of the second half. The loss of an elite member was predicted to some extent, but there were no strategies and tactics to say this. It is the third time that Korea lost to Japan by three or more goals, following the “Tokyo disaster” in September 1974 (1-4 loss), and the “Sapporo disaster” in August 2011 (0-3 loss) on the expedition.

The accusation that he had not earned any income but only defeated it, and Chung Mong-gyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, issued an apology this afternoon. Chairman Chung said, “I am very sorry to the soccer fans, footballers, and the people who were disappointed in the defeat of the Korean and Japanese matches of the national team that took place yesterday (25th). I sincerely apologize.”
