[인터풋볼] Reporter Yoon Hyo-yong = Marine FC players are able to meet Tottenham stars as all of them receive negative judgments in the Corona 19 test. In addition, news was reported that it has even raised a good ticket profit.
Marine will compete in the 2020-21 season England FA Cup round of 64 (third round) against Tottenham Hootspur at Marine Travel Arena located in Crosby, Merseyside, England at 2 am (Korean time) on the 11th. Marine is a team located in the 8th Division of England.
Marine is a coastal city in northwest England with a population of only 50,000. Football is also not their job for players. Athletes who maintain their lives as environmental sanitation workers and teachers gather to train and play. The personality of an amateur team is stronger than a professional team.
So, meeting Tottenham in the first division became a city-wide event beyond the team. They are preparing to greet super stars such as Son Heung-min and Delhi Ali, who are competing for the top scorer against England’s leading player Harry Kane.
On top of that, I got a pretty salty ticket profit. The UK’s Daily Mail reported on the 9th, “Marine FC sold digital tickets and sold 10,000 copies, resulting in a profit of £125,000 (about 180 million won). It is literally one seat and two pairs.”
Marine also posted on the official Twitter, “The sales of Tottenham match tickets reached 10,000. It feels overwhelming with our name. Football is the best when we play together.”
This digital ticket is all about putting the buyers’ names on the wall on one side of the stadium, but many fans attended to help the club. The stadium is a small stadium with only 3,000 seats, but it sold far more tickets than when the crowd came in and made a lot of money.
Tottenham’s coach Jose Mourinho also acknowledges it as a formal opponent and intends to do his best to show respect. “The way to respect marines is to do your best to win. This is the spirit of the cup competition. As usual, we are preparing tactics, training, and preparing. Also, Marine will dream of confronting the players he longed for while watching TV. It is our mission to bring their dreams back to reality. The goal is to bring such a game to the marines.”
