[마이데일리 = 도하(카타르) 이현호 기자] Bento was asked an unwanted question at the World Cup press conference.
Coach Paulo Bento, who leads the Korean national football team, sat in a press conference held at the Qatar National Convention Center (QNCC) at 11:30 am (local time) on the 23rd. Korea and Uruguay will play the first leg of the Qatar World Cup group stage at 4:00pm on the 24th. Coach Bento met with reporters from Korea, Uruguay and Portugal and shared his impressions of preparing for the World Cup.
Speaking about the World Cup, a question arose about Cristiano Ronaldo (37, Portugal). This is a question from a Portuguese journalist. This reporter told Bento, “Ronaldo was recently released from Manchester United. How do you see it as Portuguese?”
Ronaldo was released from Manchester United on the 23rd. This is because he harshly criticized the Manchester United club in a public interview. The club has, of course, regretted current manager Eric Ten Haag and former manager Ralf Rangnick. What can Bento say about Ronaldo’s change of course?
“Rather than Ronaldo (Portugal), I’m focusing on analyzing Luis Suarez, Ronald Araujo, and Jose Jimenez (Uruguay),” Bento said. Then I will analyze the Ghanaian players, and then the Portuguese players.”
Bento is busy preparing for the World Cup. Coach Bento said, “I am very proud to have participated in the World Cup with the Korean national team. It has been a long journey. It is different from the past. I was able to achieve my goal in faster than before. It’s important for the players. It’s important to be ranked first in the group by the last qualifying round,” he said.
Regarding the opponent Uruguay in the first leg, “I watched Uruguay’s South American qualifiers. Although they still fell behind Brazil and Argentina, the whole team was excellent. They showed skills great in the South American final qualifiers. Tomorrow, I expect Korea and Uruguay to play evenly. Do,” he said.
