▲ Director Bento greeting his daughter wearing the 'Red Devil' uniform


The identity of the woman who greeted the Korean national team coach Paulo Bento before the game against Portugal, who had to watch the game from the spectators instead of the bench, was revealed.



The Korean national soccer team won 2-1 against Portugal in the third round of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Group H held at Al Rayyan Education City Stadium in Qatar on the 3rd (Korean time).



In the second match against Ghana, coach Bento protested against the referee who ended the game without allowing Korea a corner kick opportunity, but received a red card and sat in the VIP bleachers, not on the bench, to watch the game.



On this day's World Cup relay screen, coach Bento, who had a serious expression from beginning to end, was caught laughing brightly for a moment, making it a hot topic.



At the time, a foreign woman wearing the uniform of the Korean national team pushed her fist with her left hand, and coach Bento smiled and lightly punched the woman's fist.



In particular, she drew the attention of netizens because this woman was wearing a uniform with her Taegeukgi on it.

This woman was the second daughter of Bishop Bento.



Bento's daughter is said to have visited the stadium with a Korean national team uniform and a national flag to cheer for Korea, where her father is the manager.



Previously, in an interview with a sports media in 2019, Bento also showed special affection, saying, "The things I cherish and value the most in my life are my two daughters."



He continued, "I've been trying to be a good father, and I'm proud that both of them have grown up so well. Last month, my daughters came to Korea and went to an amusement park in Seoul together."



Meanwhile, the Korean national soccer team succeeded in advancing to the round of 16 for the first time in 12 years.



Coach Bento is scheduled to return to the bench and lead the team in the round of 16 match against Brazil at 4 am (Korean time) on the 6th.
