Gwanghwamun where the cheering fever was hot… “Thank you Taegeuk Warrior”

[앵커]

Unfortunately, the Qatar World Cup street cheer match also ended after the round of 16.

Despite the loss against the world’s strongest Brazil, Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul was full of cheers from citizens who gathered to support our football team despite the sub-zero weather.

I am a material reporter.

A cheering squad of 20,000 of the Red Devils gathered in Gwanghwamun Square from dawn.

The enthusiasm for supporting the national football team, which reached the round of 16 after 12 years, was hot enough to break even the cold wave below freezing.

Korea! clap clap clap clap clap”

Every time our players fired a quick shot at the goal of Brazil, which came first in the FIFA rankings, the square seemed to leave, and remorse erupted.

“AH!”

When consecutive goals were missed, the square was filled with the lamentations of citizens.

In the first half, there were citizens who left their seats before the second half started.

However, the cheering for the Red Devils did not stop, and the players did not give up, scoring a goal in the second half as if it was a comeback.

The result was 1v4, a disappointing loss.

The Red Devils presented a message of comfort and gratitude to our players whose fighting spirit burned until the end.

“Personally, the first half was very difficult, but I am very grateful for not giving up and running so hard until the second half.”

“Even though it’s cold, I think it’s worth cheering. I debated whether I should go or not, but when I scored a goal in the second half, I felt good, so I decided to come.”

Although the Round of 16 ended unfortunately, the passion of Taegeuk Warriors and Red Devils for the World Cup was hotter than ever.
