At Munsu Football Stadium in Ulsan, where the warm-up match between Korea and Colombia will be held at 8 p.m. on the 24th, players from both teams warmed up with 30 minutes left before the kickoff.
And with 15 minutes left, the Korean national team players entered the locker room. But the Colombian players were keen on training. With 10 minutes left before the kickoff, the Colombian players trained.
An official from the Korea Football Association approached and said, “Now I have to go back to the locker room and prepare for the game.” But a Colombian official pretended to hear.
The reason is that the Colombian team arrived at the stadium with about 40 minutes left before the kickoff time at 8 p.m. Naturally, he remained on the ground and trained more because he was not ready.
The referee blew the whistle around 7:55 p.m. and gestured to the Colombian players to return to the locker room. But the players didn’t budge either. The crowd also booed the Colombian squad. 온라인카지노
Only then did the players enter the locker one by one, and the game could start at 8:21.
Regarding his late arrival at the stadium, Colombian coach Lorenzo said, “I also moved by bus during training yesterday. It basically took 3-40 minutes, but it took more than an hour and a half due to traffic jams today. In a way, it’s an accident. This is something we didn’t expect. The travel time was expected to be 3-40 minutes. But I couldn’t use any other means of transportation,” he explained.
Meanwhile, South Korea drew 2-2 in the warm-up match against Colombia. Son Heung-min scored two goals in the first half, but allowed consecutive goals to his opponent early in the second half to finish the game in a draw. South Korea will play Uruguay in a warm-up match at the Seoul World Cup Stadium today.
