Do you all remember the scene at the end of yesterday’s game?
It was probably the most absurd and incomprehensible scene of the entire tournament.
Coach Bento protested and was sent off, watching the Portugal match from the stands.
Referee Anthony Taylor, who sent off Son Heung-min in the Premier League three years ago, took out a red card this time to coach Bento, continuing his bad relationship with us.
This is reporter Cha Hyun-jin.

At the end of the second half, one goal down.
In the 55th minute of the second half, Kwon Kyung-won’s shot hit the Ghana player’s back and went off the goal line, and our players got ready for a corner kick.
However, referee Anthony Taylor immediately blew the whistle to end the match.
At this time, the time was 55 minutes and 53 seconds into the second half.
Considering it took more than a minute to restart the match after the Ghanaian player went down in the 51st minute of the second half before, it was an unconvincing extra-time calculation.

“It’s a bit unfortunate to operate like that because it’s a corner… It would be nice to have a corner too, but as a referee, I think he saw that he applied all the times he applied extra over extra. ..”
Players looking for a last chance went to the referee and protested, and coach Bento also ran to the ground and protested loudly.
Then, this time, referee Taylor gave coach Bento a red card.

“We felt the situation was unfair. Bento is a man who puts all his energy into defending his players.”
British referee Taylor is already famous among Premier League fans, having given Son Heung-min a controversial red card three years ago.
Former Ireland international Clinton Morrison said: ‘I could feel Bento’s dissatisfaction’ and ‘I feel the same way’. I am glad that the notoriety of him has spread throughout the world.”
Bento, who was the first Korean national team manager to be sent off at the World Cup, was unable to sit on the bench in the last match against Portugal under FIFA rules and watched the match from the stands.
It is not permitted to enter the dressing rooms and speak to players or give instructions on a walkie-talkie or mobile phone.
