Complaints flood over new 'Marbling' uniform

"I really can't watch it because of the uniform." It's a sigh from the fans.

The South Korean national soccer team, led by interim coach Hwang Sun-hong, played the third Group C match against Thailand at the Seoul World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on the 21st and ended up with a 1-1 draw.

As a result, South Korea maintained its top spot in the group by making seven points (2 wins and 1 draw) in three games, but it was regrettable as it ended in a draw with weak Thailand at home.

Korea led the way with captain Son Heung-min's opening goal in the 42nd minute, but ended up with a 1-1 draw in the 16th minute when the team gave up a run to Supanat Muehanta. Korea, which aggressively attacked until the end of the match, failed to open the goal in the end.  토토사이트

South Korea was pushed back in the midfield battle in this game. It failed to take control of the game. When Thailand raised its line and pressed strongly at the beginning of the game, mistakes were made and it struggled.

Fortunately, Korea scored the first goal. It was Son's goal that immediately connected Lee Jae-seong's low and fast cross with a shot in the 42nd minute of the first half.

For a moment of joy, South Korea allowed Sufanath Muentai to lose a point in the 16th minute of the second half.

Since then, Korea has gradually taken the lead in the game. It didn't happen all of a sudden. This is because all the Thai players joined the defense and concentrated in front of the goal.

Fans were not very satisfied with Hwang's performance. It was hard to expect a strong performance given that Hwang had just taken the helm and had many new faces, but even considering this, the Korean team fell short of expectations.

There were other complaints from fans. It is a new uniform.

Nike unveiled the new uniform of the Korean national team on the 19th, saying, "As soon as the Korean national team writes a new history, it will unveil a uniform that will add stronger energy."

According to Nike, the uniform is equipped with Nike's progressive technology called "Dry-FIT ADV," which is designed to help players perform at the highest level on the ground. The design, inspired by traditional Korean art and craftsmanship, is expected to inspire a new generation of soccer.

Nike explained, "The red color, the symbol of Korean soccer, has permeated into a new pattern, and the collar and sleeves have double borders that remind us of the 'dancheong pattern' to further emphasize the beauty of balance. The tiger-inspired claw marks are engraved on the collar to express the dignity and ferocity of the Korean national soccer team players."

Nike said, "Najeon lacquerware has been reinterpreted on the uniforms of the expedition. The away uniform, which symbolizes the combination of tradition and progress, reflects the outstanding craftsmanship of the Republic of Korea and further emphasizes the sense and technique that Korea shows on the world stage."

Fans who saw the home uniform expressed awkwardness with the appearance of mint color and difficult patterns, saying, "It's mint color, blue that disappeared from some point," "It's meat marbling," and "What the hell is wrong with you?"

However, there was a big problem. The players' identity numbers were not seen at all on the screen.

Korea used a black mark on the red home team uniform against Thailand. However, the uniform flashed too much on the broadcast screen, and the number was not visible at all.

In response, fans visited the official social media account of the Korea Football Association (KFA) to express their dissatisfaction.

One fan sighed, "I can't see any uniform numbers..." and another fan reacted furiously, saying, "I can't see players' uniform numbers because they look like x." "Do something about your uniform."

Meanwhile, South Korea, which drew against Thailand at home, will play an away game at Rachamankala National Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand on the 26th.
