Munich and Tottenham clash at Seoul World Cup Stadium
The German professional football team Bayern Munich visited Korea for the first time since its foundation. The match between national football team Kim Min-jae and Son Heung-min began with great excitement.
Munich started the second match of the ‘Coupang Play Series’ against Tottenham Hotspur of the English professional football Premier League (EPL) at 8 PM on the 3rd at Seoul World Cup Stadium. The
‘Coupang Play Series’, which has excited football fans by inviting world-class clubs every summer, is being held successfully this year as well.
On the 31st of last month, Tottenham and the professional soccer All-Star team league clashed and had a fierce battle.
This time, Son Heung-min’s Tottenham and Kim Min-jae’s Munich went head-to-head.
Expectations were high as Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae, who have played together as national soccer players for a long time, met as enemies for the first time.
It was so hot in Seoul that sweat poured down your body even when you were still, but it was not as passionate as the soccer fans. The fans waited for the game while enjoying the various event booths and pop-up stores set up at Seoul World Cup Stadium long before the game started. The food court and large mart inside Seoul World Cup Stadium were also packed to the brim. When Munich and Tottenham players appeared for warm-up, Seoul World Cup Stadium shook. Every time Kim Min-jae and Son Heung-min were caught on the scoreboard, cheers erupted. Kim Min-jae was clearly superior to world-class players such as Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, and Thomas Muller. Son Heung-min also sweated profusely while receiving overwhelming support from the Tottenham players. Unlike the previous match, the cheering banners stood out in the second match. The North Korean stands had Munich’s cheering chant, “MIA SAN MIA (We are Uri-ya)” engraved on them. In addition, several banners prepared by Munich supporters further enhanced the atmosphere of the stadium. Son Heung-min and Kim Min-jae also expressed special feelings about this Korean derby. After the last professional soccer All-Star team K-League match, Son Heung-min said in a mixed zone interview, “Kim Min-jae is a defender that I really like,” and “I think he has many strengths in the national team and in European soccer. (Kim) Min-jae and I have always played on the same team, so playing against him will be a new experience.” During the press conference before the Tottenham match, Kim Min-jae said, “I only met (Son) Heung-min as an opponent during practice. He joked, saying, “This is my first time playing against another team,” and “I’ll try to block them as best as I can, but there are many other capable players besides Son Heung-min, so I have to block them all well. I don’t want to run into Heung-min hyung as much as possible.” The ‘Korean derby’ of the national soccer team active on the world stage is taking place in ‘Sangambeol,’ the mecca of Korean soccer. 바카라사이트
