Colombia, who was late and severely injured Kim Jin-soo, against Japan today
The Colombia national soccer team will play in Japan on the 28th, with defender Kim Jin-soo (Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors) suffering a lumbar fracture after an exceptional group tardiness in an A match against Korea.
Colombia will play an away evaluation game against Japan at Yodoko Sakura Stadium in Osaka, Japan from 7:20 pm on the same day.
Prior to the expedition to Japan, Colombia played an evaluation match on the 24th at Ulsan Munsu Soccer Stadium in Korea. At the time, Colombia was criticized for being late as a group and delaying the start of the game.메이저놀이터
The game was originally scheduled to start at 8:00 PM, but Colombia was late due to traffic jams, and the kick-off was delayed by 21 minutes. Klinsmanho players, coaching staff, and 35,000 spectators had to wait until the Colombian players warmed up.
In terms of the content of the game, it was difficult for Colombia to receive applause. The Colombian players showed rough play, deliberately kicking Cho Kyu-seong from behind.
Rough action eventually led to serious injuries. Defensive nucleus Kim Jin-soo was seriously injured after being hit by a Colombian player.
In the 19th minute of the first half with a 1-0 lead, Kim Jin-soo collided with Colombia’s Diego Valroyes and Rafael Santos Bore while kicking a ball in the air and fell down, sustaining a fracture of the left transverse process of the second lumbar vertebrae. It was an injury that required treatment and rest for 6 weeks and could only be played after about 2 months.
Colombia, which went to Japan without even apologizing for being late in Korea, attracted attention with its unsparing attitude toward Japan.
Colombia coach Nestro Lorenzo said at a press conference held in Japan the day before, “I watched the World Cup in Brazil, the World Cup in Russia, and the World Cup in Qatar in Japan. The Japanese national team players are currently playing in the world’s highest level league.”
In the midst of this, it is noteworthy what kind of result Colombia will accept in today’s match against Japan. Colombia leads Japan with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the case of the World Cup record, Colombia won 4-1 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil and Japan won 2-1 at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Colombia drew 2-2 with Korea in an evaluation match on the 24th. In the match against Uruguay held on the same day, Japan was unable to decide the match by 1-1.
