The world’s top Brazilian national soccer team came to Seoul at 5:30 p.m. on the 24th. The Brazilian national team, which will visit Korea for the third time after 1995 and 1997, will play against the Korean national team at Jamsil Stadium on the 28th at 7 p.m. to showcase the true taste of “Samba Soccer.”
Ronaldo is one of the participants in the World Cup in France.Carlos and Denny Woosson were missing, but all 22 players who visited Korea this time are world stars.
Rivaldo, who plays for Spain’s FC Barcelona, has scored 15 goals (ranked 2nd) in the Spanish league this season, leading the team to the top. At the World Cup in France, he played in all seven games and scored three goals, including the winning goal against Denmark.
Wingback Capu, who scored the winning goal in the opening match of the World Cup in France, is also familiar. He played 78 A matches and participated in the 94, 1998 World Cup, and was selected as the best right-back last year for AS Roma in Italy. It was a friendly match ahead of the World Cup, but what drew more attention was the free shopping of Brazilian representatives in Korea and enjoying them at major attractions. It seems that he enjoyed and enjoyed Seoul’s representative Namsan Tower and Everland (Samsung-owned representative amusement resort center) in Yongin near Seoul, and felt Korea’s daily life free from fendomics after the COVID-19 crisis. Perhaps that’s why they are also actively responding to Korean fans.And the Korean national team showed Heung-min Son, the top scorer of the English Premier League, and several players from the major leagues sharing friendships with each other even after the match. It seems to be an opportunity to convey the comfort of Korea to other countries.
However, North Korea fired eight missiles into South Korea’s East Sea after U.S. President Biden’s visit to Seoul and a joint U.S. naval exercise in South Korea. And the South Korean and U.S. allies fired eight surface-to-air missiles into the sea as if they were responding immediately. North Korea is reportedly set to test its seventh nuclear weapon. Not only is there a prolonged war after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but it is also a sharp confrontation between China and the United States, and even North Korea has the energy of provocation, South Korea has excellent economic technology In particular, it is globally recognized in semiconductors, telecommunications, automobiles, and electronics. Japan has been engaged in diplomatic friction with Japan, claiming that Dokdo is its own territory. In May, he welcomed a new president, and in June, he formed a new ruling party with general elections. It seems to be Korea, which has a calm appearance and a free daily life, but has a lot of worries externally.
