2. The World Cup group draw was announced, and South Korea entered the "group of grievances"

5, K2 League Round 8: Strong dialogue With Bucheon laughing to the end, busan tragedy was killed again
In the final match of round 7 of the K1 League this afternoon, Pohang Ironman drew 1-1 at home to FC Seoul, in which Pohang Ironman starting right winger Lee Yoo Hyuk opened the scoring for the team. He also scored his first goal of the season! Lee Yoo Hyuk may not be familiar with many friends, the 95-year-old player is no longer young, he is less than 1 meter 7 tall, belongs to the wing fast horse, although the speed advantage can give him a foothold in the team, but the physical confrontation has always been its shortcomings. Since his debut in 2014, he has been playing for Pohang Iron Man. In the 2015 season after his debut, he scored 2 goals in just 8 starts, and often killed opponents in the last minutes, which was quite a big player. In the 2017 season, he personally achieved a brilliant stat of 7 assists. Despite his injuries last season, he disappeared from sight for an entire season. However, lee yoo hyuk who returned from injury this season still let us see the one he was that year, the breakthrough in the side and the front insertion can bring great threat to the other side, although the Pohang Ironman side let go of Jiang Xiangyou this season, but the competition in this position is still very fierce, the team's newly introduced Jeong Jae Hee and foreign aid Wan Dexun have the strength of the starting right winger, and Lee Yoo Hyuk will also participate in the competition, hoping that he can regain his feelings and bloom himself in the K League.
South Korea's Unbeaten Gold Body was broken in the Round of 12 of the World Cup
On Tuesday, the final match of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Round of 12 was contested, after the only Unbeaten South Korean team in the Round of 12 suffered a "Waterloo" in the United Arab Emirates, and finally lost 0-1 to the United Arab Emirates, and the unbeaten golden body of the Round of 12 was broken. After the match, coach Paul Bento was quite dissatisfied with the result of the game, saying: "This is the worst game I have played since I took charge, whether it is the attitude of the game, or the technical and tactical level, it is not the Korean team I am familiar with. Before the Start of the World Cup, we need to summarize the problems that have arisen today. Although Bento has set the best record of any Korean coach during the Round of 12 and completed ten consecutive World Cup missions, he is still very unhappy to be undefeated.
World Cup group draw revealed, South Korea into the "group of grievances"
This week, FIFA's most notable event was the group draw for the 2022 Qatar World Cup. On the evening of April 1, at the World Cup group draw ceremony in Doha, Qatar, South Korea avoided Group E, which has the second strong team Germany, and entered Group H, which has Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana. The group is also a group of grievances. In 2002, South Korea beat Portugal 1-0 in the final group stage. In the round of 16 of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, South Korea lost 1-2 to Uruguay. Also in this World Cup, Suarez deliberately blocked Ghana's penalty with handball, which eventually led to Ghana being eliminated by Uruguay in the 8-4 match. At the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil, Portugal defeated Ghana 2-1 at the end, but both sides were eliminated at the same time. And Paul Bento, who was dismissed from His post by Portugal that year, will also have the opportunity to complete a "counter-attack" to his homeland and prove his ability again. It can be said that these four teams basically have "grudges" in the World Cup. In the World Cup that starts in November, will this "grudge" turn this group into a real "death group"?
The new season of the Korean Women's Football League opened, and women's football returned to spring
In this season of warm spring, along with the "east wind" of the success of the Korean women's football team in the Asian Cup, the Korean Women's Football League, which was postponed to April due to the new crown epidemic, finally unveiled the curtain of the new season this week. The 2022 season of the Korean Women's Professional Football League, which opened on April 2, coincided with the weekend, and the Korean Women's Football League has always been a form of "free admission", attracting a large number of fans to the scene to watch the game. In the case of K1 and K2 leagues at the same time, the women's football stadium welcomed a large number of spectators, and many spectators still brought their children to the scene to feel the atmosphere of football, which can be seen that the sport of Korean women's football is ushering in spring. The league is crucial to the growth of Korean women's football, and it is hoped that the league and the national team can become a "community of destiny" to promote and improve each other.
Seventh round of the K1 League: Jeonbuk Hyundai ended with a five-round winless run, and Seongnam won the first win of the season away

K2 League Round 8: Strong dialogue with Bucheon to the end, busan tragedy again killed
This weekend, the eighth round of the 2022 K2 league season also began a five-game competition, this round of Andan Greeners bye, five games scored a total of 14 goals, unlike the K1 league, five games, only one draw. In Gwangyang, South Korea, Seoul Yilian drew 1-1 at home with Jeonnam Tenryu, continuing the embarrassing record of consecutive winless after last season's winning streak, and it is now five games without a win. In the other four games of this round, the most goals scored was between Anyang and Gimpo, and In the end, Anyang won 3-2. In a strong dialogue, Bucheon overturned daejeon, who had recently won consecutive victories at home, and the 2-1 result also brought them back to the top of the table against Anyang. In the match between Gyeongnam and Gwangju, Gyeongnam, who played at home, won first and then lost, and finally lost 1-1 to Gwangju in the case of being sent off, suffering a losing streak. Even more tragic was the Busan IPark, who suffered a 0-1 rundown when they had the advantage on the road. Ranked second from the bottom of the league, just one point more than Andan, who played one less game. For Busan, who are looking forward to playing the play-offs at the beginning of the season, the start after eight rounds is rather unsatisfactory, and they need to cheer up as soon as possible.
