The football team, led by manager Bento, will play their 80th A-match with Japan this evening, their eternal rival. Today, the first day of the prosperous Bongseong of the Olympics, Japan is struggling to bring a festive atmosphere to Japan. Let’s talk with reporter Jo Eun-gi of the sports department.

[기자]

Hi.

[앵커]

One day ago, what time is it held today?

[기자]

Only 2 hours left. A match will be held at Yokohama Nissan Stadium at 7:20. It’s been just 10 years since the pure evaluation game.

I think we met a lot, I think you said this, but in fact, after that, I have collided four times in the East Asian Cup. , I think.

Why are you playing this game then? First of all, Japan wants a lot. Japan, which is now decided by FIFA, is having a second round of qualifying match against Mongolia on the 30th day after the Korea-Japan match.

So, since this is a box office card, we can do well before the Tokyo Olympics, so we can do well, and we can do well in quarantine, and it has this meaning.

So I asked us to do it, and in fact, from our point of view, we belong to Group H in the second round of the World Cup Asian Qualifier, and our match was postponed, to June. So, that’s different from group to group, but our group is acting, so in June in Korea, we play 4 games in a row short and thick.

So, ahead of that, this is actually an opportunity for us to adjust our sense of practice, match the players’ hands and feet, and cover the boulders.

However, after going to the European nuclear power plant evaluation last year, many of our players became group infections. So, do I have to do one day before this time?

There were a lot of things like this, but isn’t Bento doing what all members of the society can do to the extent that he can do it? Our job is just dismissed as soccer, so it’s just quiet now.

[앵커]

But it’s not wrong, but I’m really worried about the health of the players. How is it?

[기자]

Yes. In fact, the number of new confirmed cases in Japan was close to 2,000 yesterday. It is still a serious situation. And the Japanese national team coach Toshihide Saito is now caught and is in self-quarantine, but Japan is also a blade now.

Today, 10,000 people, as well as those who are involved, should be used as a stage to prove the safety of the Olympics, but in fact, it is an anxious and uneasy situation. And if you look at them, you can see the players right now, but they are wearing masks well.

I brought out the Corona 19 negative confirmation I received within 72 hours. If you look at it now, all players are applying hand sanitizer before getting on the bus.

The pictures of the meals were also interesting, but you can see them eating rice without contact or speech with one person per person. I came in one and it was a very interesting picture.

I wonder if it might be a new normal in the era of Corona 19. As a team doctor, a surgeon goes with it, but an internal medicine specialist is working together to prevent quarantine. I had to meet the official press conference before the A match. But, as you can see, I did it with an image.

So, both Bento and Japanese director Moriyasu seem to have a bit of a strange background behind them. Although the sense of reality is a little lowered by the burn, it would be nice to think of it as a rehearsal because I will do this during the Olympics.

[앵커]

First of all, the health of our players is the most important. And once you play, you’ll have to win. What’s worrying is that Captain Son Heung-min is missing?

[기자]

Yes. Eventually fell out with a hamstring injury. In fact, if you think about it, you have to fly long distances, come back and adjust jet lag, and there are spectators, so when there are spectators, you have to go back to England and self-isolate for another 10 days.

It’s a natural and common sense decision not to come when you think about it, but it’s a little disappointing. This is because Son Heung-min’s presence, performance, and star characteristics. Considering this, it is true that the steam falls out a little.

I cannot deny it. In addition to Son Heung-min, all European players such as Hwang Eui-jo, Hwang Hee-chan, Lee Jae-seong, and Kwon Chang-hoon, who were the main players of the Bento, fall out of self-isolation problems.

Also, key players such as Minjae Kim, Jinsoo Kim, and Junho Son from the Chinese team also left. So it’s not group 2. It is also true that such stories come out. For some, it’s an opportunity to take a snow stamp again. I didn’t even think about it at this time, but I can do it well again.

Players to watch today, there is still no starting list, but it would be good to look forward to the future of Korean football, Lee Kang-in, and Jung Woo-young. First of all, Valencia Lee Kang-in was the Golden Boy and the Golden Ball player who led runner-up at the 20th World Cup.

Jung Woo-young, who was first selected for national team A, actually has a big Jung Woo-young born in 89 who has the same name. However, the player coming out today was chosen for the A national team for the first time. I am called Jung Woo-young, a little boy born in 99.

He plays for Freiburg in the German Bundesliga and has scored three goals this season. Manager Bento also selected these two as key players, and he said he wanted to play very motivated, but let’s listen to an interview.

[정우영 / 축구대표팀 미드필더·독일 프라이부르크 : 중요한 한일전에 뛸 수 있는 기회가 있어서 정말 좋은 경험이라고 생각하고요. 어렸을 때부터 (이)강인이랑 뛰었을 때 좋은 장면도 많았고, 기대가 많이 되는 것 같아요.]

[앵커]

The tense figure is powerful… I hope I score a goal today. I want to become a real rising star. How is the Japanese team’s abilities?

[기자]

You said that the Japanese team played a real match right after we finished. Anyway, it is a real battle because it is a competition to cover the World Cup tickets. So I sang all 9 Europeans.

This is the best lineup. To pick the number 1 on the alert, he was born in 95, a Liverpool player, and is now on loan to Premier League Southampton. I didn’t have time in Liverpool, so I couldn’t run a lot, so I went to Southampton, but since I left, he recently scored two goals.

I think I’ll be in the forefront, and I’m afraid I’ll probably open up an attack as a playmaker, but I was at a press conference yesterday. So, I’m thinking of becoming a scary player in Korea.

Japan and Korea expressed their ambitions that they heard that the results are more important than the content. The results are important, but we have the upper hand in the 79th confrontation. I won 42. Especially, there are many memories that we always won during the final qualifiers of the World Cup or important matches.

[앵커]

That’s right. It is unpredictable from Korea and Japan.

[기자]

This walking ceremony you see right now was a tournament in which Japan decided to go to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010 before the South Africa World Cup in Saitama. ego.

On the contrary, in Sapporo in 2012, in the friendly match we played 10 years ago, we lost 0:3. It is called a tragedy, but after that, the director at the time of Jo Gwang-rae became a hard reason.

Today we are wearing red and blue in Japan. All four referees are Indians. Up to 6 players can be replaced.

[앵커]

Okay. And today’s Korea-Japan match is also an Olympic practice test.

[기자]

I think I set it on the same day to get the mood up. I waited a long time. The fireworks that were lit in Greece last year waited for a year.

So, there was a departure event at 9 am today. The first week before, Nadeshiko Japan, who was a candidate to win the 2011 Women’s World Cup, said it was a dianthus in Korean.

It’s a nickname, but these 16 players are usually famous and loved at the time, so they started out as runners no. 1, and the starting point is especially the J Village, a soccer facility in Fukushima Prefecture in Japan.

This is the place that was used as the accident countermeasure headquarters during the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. So, in fact, it’s a tragedy of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and it’s a bad thing, so you might want to hide it, but when you look at it now, Japan puts this in the fore.

Because the concept of this Olympics is the Revival Olympics. So, we have been hard but we overcame it well and thank you for helping me a lot. We wanted to inform that Fukushima, which was destroyed, is still in good shape, so we put it to the fore.

From today to July 23, when the Olympics start, 10,000 runners are expected to attend 47 local governments for 121 days. What I have now is Day 1.

It’s a playbook, but only the schedule for the first day of the torch relay runners is 16 pages. So this is for 121 days. If there are a lot of crowds, I will skip it. There was also a story like this, but today I saw a lot of people. I feel a little anxious and anxious.

[앵커]

The torch relay started, and in fact, the Olympics itself was postponed for one year, and it was unclear whether the event was held due to Corona 19.

[기자]

Yes. Because the beacon flame has started. Still, 70% of Japanese people say it is a cold reaction to postpone or cancel. Besides, last week, they said they would not accept foreign spectators at the Olympics. So, we started refunding all 630,000 tickets that had already been sold.

Only people residing in Japan can buy tickets, and even if they buy tickets, it is not yet decided whether they will receive them or the audience will come.

[앵커]

Yes. And in the case of the squad, I’m worried about the food from Fukushima. Can I eat it?

[기자]

I’m worried too. I’m still trying to feed this because I’m still betting that it’s a revival Olympics. The food to be served on the table at the athlete’s village is agricultural and marine products from Fukushima, Japan.

However, when looking at the fish caught off the coast of Fukushima recently, it is uneasy that cesium, a radioactive substance exceeding five times the allowable level, was detected. And if it doesn’t work, we said we’d deliver it as a lunch box, but there’s nothing set about that.

Because you don’t know if 14 cooks can go or if they will let you enter Japan. They should all get cards. I would get a vaccination, go to the site and get exempted from quarantine, and I would like to take advantage of this and that convenience, but nothing has been decided yet.

[앵커]

Okay. I heard the news that it will be held one day before today and even the news of the Japanese Olympics. I was with reporter Jo Eun-ji of the sports department. I heard it well.

[기자]

Thank you.
