Bento, who visited Doha immediately after finishing the final qualifier schedule, said that he had no time to dream good dreams ahead of the draw,
[Paulo Bento/Soccer national team manager: (too busy), time to dream because he couldn't sleep for a few hours. There is none.]
I hastened my steps.
Since last year, coach Bento, who has been thinking about various base camp candidates, narrowed down the final candidates to two and looked carefully.
In the two hotels that were about to open, not only the meeting rooms and amenities, but also the lighting in each room was checked,
[Paulo Bento / Soccer Team Manager: (Base Camp Hotel)) An important consideration is the environment.
In order to recover, there must be a swimming pool and a weight field, and how much sunlight the room gets is also important to the player's condition.]
I carefully toured two training grounds with two or more soccer fields and conducted due diligence for over 5 hours.
[Paulo Bento/Soccer national team coach: (while training here) If you want to move to the side, you need to spray water on the grass next to it about 5 minutes before.
I'll take a picture of the Paju Training Grounds and send it to you, so please check it and make it the same.]
Each of these hotels and training grounds is within a 15-minute drive, and the furthest of eight World Cup Stadiums can be reached in 40 minutes.
Coach Bento, who has been meticulously prepared for the World Cup round of 16 and beyond, will attend the fateful group draw on the night of the 1st.
