Bento “For the 2nd round of the World Cup, Korea and Japan are the best for the moment”
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Park Dong-joo = Paulo Bento, the coach of the soccer team, is holding a press conference on the announcement of the list of Taegeuk warriors that will be set out before Japan in the morning of the 15th at the Jongno-gu Football Center in Seoul. 2021.3.15 [email protected]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Young-ho = “The match between Korea and Japan is the only opportunity to prepare for the second round of the June World Cup in Asia.”
The Korea Football Association, which suffered from the outbreak of a new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) by the players of the football national team during their visit to Austria last November, emphasized thorough quarantine measures ahead of the Korea-Japan War (25th, Yokohama, Japan).
On the 15th, the coach of the national team Paulo Bento announced a list of 24 people to go to the soccer center in the Seoul newspaper on the 15th.
The list includes Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who injured a hamstring in Arsenal and the’North London Derby’ early this morning, as well as Hwang Hee-chan (Leipzig), who was not able to play for a while after being confirmed by Corona 19 during his visit to Austria last November.
The second round of the World Cup Asian preliminary round, which was scheduled for this month due to the aftermath of Corona 19, was postponed to June.
This is the result of consensus between Korea and Japan soccer associations to prepare for the second qualifying round of the World Cup in June through evaluation matches.
However, the safety issue of the national team leaving the expedition has emerged as an issue in a situation where the Corona 19 situation in Japan has not calmed down.
In particular, Hwang Hee-chan, Jo Hyun-woo, Lee Dong-jun (Lee Sang Ulsan), and Na Sang-ho (Seoul), who were diagnosed with Corona 19 during their visit to Austria last November, are listed on the convocation list of Korea and Japan.

Responding to these concerns, Bento said, “Every member of society is doing his or her work in their respective fields and within the limits they allow. It is influenced by the quarantine guidelines, but within a limited range we must do our best to do our best work,” said Bento. “He stressed the necessity of Japan and Korea.
He stressed, “It’s best to play one-and-a-half matches for now. It’s the only chance to prepare for the upcoming World Cup 2nd qualifier.”
He added, “After the A match in November 2019, until the visit to Austria in November last year, we were only able to convene normally only once for a year,” he said. “There are some players that we haven’t seen at all. In this situation, there are bad news. “We have to overcome it and hold the second qualifying round of the World Cup in June. It is our duty and our role to do our best to lead the team normally,” he explained.
In particular, coach Bento expressed confidence in the COVID-19 quarantine measures, saying, “The compulsory team is preparing to play more thoroughly and safely than in November last year.”
The Korea Football Association is also paying attention to the safety of the Taegeuk warriors ahead of their expedition to Korea and Japan.
An official from the Football Association said, “Overseas players will not come to Korea and will arrive directly in Japan.” “Although the flight schedule of overseas players has not been confirmed yet, we are preparing to adjust their condition.” “We plan to have an internal medicine specialist and an orthopedic specialist accompany the national team,” he explained.
