Portugal head coach Fernando Santos said that the Korean footballer insulted striker Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2022 World Cup match.
“Ronaldo, leaving the field, was angry with the Korean player, who insulted him and kicked him off the field quickly. Cristiano said everything is fine. I heard that the Korean footballer spoke in English. Ronaldo replied: "You really really want me to leave as soon as possible." Pepe even chased the Korean because of this,” Santos said at the post-match press conference.
Recall that the Koreans and the Portuguese entered the 1/16 World Cup 2022 from the second and first places, respectively, after the victory of the team from Asia with a score of 2:1.
