[뉴스메이커] Paulo Bento | yunhap news

Time to get to know the hottest people in the news, <뉴스메이커>no see.

There are many people who slept comfortably last night (27th).

The Korean national football team, led by coach Paulo Bento, gave joy to the people by winning 1-0 against Lebanon in the World Cup final qualifier yesterday.

Coach Paulo Bento, who leads the national team, can he even give him the news of qualifying for the World Cup?

Meet today’s Newsmaker.

Heavy snow, heavy rain, and insufficient training time!

The reality the national team faced before entering Lebanon was very poor.

Heavy snow fell in Turkey, the training ground, disrupting movement, and the fatigue of the players increased during the arduous process of moving.

And training on the pitch was only done once, only the day before.

In addition, the fact that in the past Lebanese players had shown bed soccer in which they lie down on the ground even in small physical fights in every game was also a burden to the national team.

But our national team did not withdraw at all.

“It will be a tough match,” Bento said before the match against Lebanon.

And indeed, as coach Bento predicted, our players performed more energetic than ever before, and overwhelmed the Lebanese players throughout the match.

And a 1-0 victory achieved!

Bento’s strategy with Jo Kyu-sung and Hwang Ui-jo as the front two tops was correct, and Jo Kyu-seong opened the scoring in extra time in the first half.

The reason the victory over Lebanon draws attention is also because of Bento’s extraordinary strategy.

Coach Bento finished the game with 11 players who started on the day.

Not a single person was replaced until 90 minutes had passed.

It is the first time in 15 years and 3 months that all starting players have not been replaced.

For this reason, it is being evaluated that it was a rare match created by Bento’s own perseverance and tactical flexibility.

Now, the eyes of the people are heading towards the Syrian war at 11 pm on February 1.

If Bentuho, who is in second place after Iran, who is the first to qualify for the finals, defeats Syria, it will be the 11th in his career and the 10th consecutive World Cup finals trophy since the 1986 Mexico Games.

“I think we are getting closer to our goal,” said Bento, who leads the national team.

How will the Korean soccer team, led by coach Bento, catch the public’s attention during the Lunar New Year holiday?

In the early morning of February 2nd, I hope that the news of qualifying for the World Cup finals will come through, and I have been a ‘newsmaker’ until now.
