In the 2002 World Cup, Portugal was hacked by South Korea? Self-media and C Ronaldo fans forced drama
The World Cup year always goes around the opening point, and when it comes to the past of the World Cup, the ugliness of the Koreans has to be mentioned. In the 2002 World Cup, the South Koreans hacked Italy and Spain with despicable means, creating the biggest scandal in the history of the World Cup, which was a disgrace to football and an object of spit on by fans all over the world.
But in recent years, there have been more and more arguments about South Korea hacking Portugal, as if the Portuguese group was also hacked out. On this point, it is necessary to discuss that Koreans are dirty and ugly, but Portugal's exit has a high probability that it has nothing to do with them.
In the 2002 World Cup, South Korea was divided into Group D with Poland, the United States and Portugal. In the first two matches, South Korea scored four points for one win and one draw, Portugal had three points for one loss and one win, the United States had four points for one win and one draw, and Poland had zero points for two losses in two games.
Portugal's 2-3 defeat to the United States in the first round hit a big upset. A four-goal victory over Poland in the second round retained hope.
In the third round, Portugal played south Korea and the United States played against Poland.
Before the game, the goals of the two sides are different, the South Koreans will qualify if they draw, and there is a probability of losing, while Portugal will win the line steadily, and if they draw, they must hope that the United States cannot win. But Poland is the belly of the fish, and the United States has a high probability of winning, so Portugal must win.
South Korea draws, Portugal wins.
The last round started at the same time, interestingly, the desireless Poland soon led the United States 2-0, which had a great impact on the match between South Korea and Portugal, and the two sides drew and joined hands to qualify. And for Portugal, if they draw, they are second in the group, and they can most likely avoid Italy, which is most likely second in the group.
That was the context. That is to say, the Koreans have no reason to target Portugal, they have no reason to fight to the death to meet Italy, which is very likely.
In the 27th minute of the first half of the match, Portugal's Pinto shovel Park Ji-sung was sent off with a direct red card, which is not controversial.
The half was flat, and in the second half, the Portuguese were passive, they wanted a draw, as one would expect, they wanted a draw to take a group second, avoiding Italy. Portugal was passive and sluggish, which was more favorable to the Korean team, they just had to go through the motions. 5 points, easy to get the first place in the group.
In the 65th minute, portugal player Bento brought down Lee Wing-woo, Bento was shown a second yellow card by the referee, and two yellows turned red and was sent off. Slow motion shows that it was an obvious fake fall.
Yes, everyone knows it was a fake fall, but in those days, there was no VAR, and fake falls were everywhere. This is a miscalculation, not a black whistle.
9 to 11, Portugal fell behind in numbers, and then they mobilized their troops to try to hold the draw. But now that the matter is over, how can the Koreans let go of such a good opportunity? In the 70th minute, Park Ji-sung scored and the South Korean team broke the deadlock. Portugal's subsequent large-scale attack also failed to change its fate, and finally swallowed the bitter fruit, and the third in the group was eliminated.
Frankly speaking, the South Koreans broke the lower limit in the 2002 World Cup and were scolded by fans around the world, but that was all against them for robbing Italy and Spain. Against Portugal, although it is a little controversial, it is definitely not a black whistle. This was a public opinion at that time.
Over the years, C Ronaldo's fans have grown, they are more and more fond of gilding idols, Portugal and Italy and Spain are blackened by South Korea, but also can satisfy their vanity.
A few years ago, C Ronaldo followed Juve to South Korea to warm up, did not play, was interpreted as C Ronaldo dissatisfied with the South Korean team that year's shady. If C Luo really thinks the same way, it can only mean that he does not understand that period of history.
In 2002, the Portuguese group was out, more because of themselves. The first light enemy slowly and hotly, carelessly lost to the United States, lost the first hand, and handed over the fate to others. Then in the last game, you must win, facing a Korean who has played chicken blood, and the pressure is huge. And after knowing that they could also qualify with a draw, they relaxed again, thinking that they could hold the level steadily. However, in the first half, they lost a big general, the Koreans were superior, and they ran non-stop, and finally erased the technical gap with physical strength.
A fake fall, two yellows turned into one red, the Portuguese played two less, the South Koreans scored first to break the deadlock, and Portugal fell into a desperate situation. In the last twenty minutes, they showed off the style of a strong team, but their luck was also extremely bad, missing a chance to draw, and finally drinking hate out.
