Former soccer player Lee Cheon-soo’s reaction when forming Japan’s ‘Group of Death’ is attracting attention.
On the 2nd, Lee Cheon-soo conducted a live broadcast of the World Cup grouping through his YouTube channel. On that day, the Qatar World Cup final group draw was held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center, Qatar.
Lee Chun-soo might not hide his nervousness as he watched the drawing ceremony in real time. When it was time for the so-called ‘Group of Death’ lottery to which Spain and Germany belong, Lee Cheon-soo watched the lottery result saying, “(The probability of entering the group of death) is 33%. I won’t talk regarding other teams.
When Japan was called in ‘Group of Death’, Lee Cheon-soo cheered and showed joy. He responded violently, clapping and clenching his fists.
Lee Cheon-soo also said, “Japan should not go out. You shouldn’t go out.”
After that, when Korea was placed in Group H along with Portugal, Uruguay and Ghana, Lee Chun-su said, “It’s a big hit at this level. It’s really worth trying. It’s a good group.”
