A seleção sul-coreana rompeu com a imprensa do país que cobre a Copa do Mundo após jornalistas serem gravados zombando do capitão Son Heungmin durante um treino aberto.
Os repórteres criticaram a dispensa do jogador do serviço militar obrigatório, dizendo que Son "nem serviu direito no exército". Son obteve a isenção após conquistar a medalha de ouro com a seleção sul-coreana nos Jogos Asiáticos de 2018, e completou um treinamento básico de 3 semanas em substituição.
Em solidariedade ao capitão, os atletas da seleção recusaram entrevistas mesmo após a vitória sobre a República Tcheca. A Associação de Futebol da Coreia emitiu uma advertência pública à imprensa nacional e os jogadores anunciaram que não conversarão com a imprensa, com o apoio do público coreano.
O caso é considerado a maior crise entre jogadores e jornalistas na história do futebol do país.

🚨🗣️New: Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Vinicius Junior refusing the mandatory halftime interview with FIFA at the World Cup:
“People are shocked that Vinícius walked away from a halftime interview. I am shocked that anyone thinks he should have stopped in the first place.
Halftime is not a television studio. Halftime is not a podcast. Halftime is not a red carpet. Halftime is the heartbeat of a football match.
For 45 minutes, players are warriors in a storm. They run, they fight, they suffer, they bleed. Then they get 15 precious minutes to recover, to breathe, to listen, to think. And FIFA wants to spend part of that time chasing soundbites? That is like pulling a Formula 1 driver out of his car during a pit stop and asking him how the race is going.
And FIFA’s idea is to shove a microphone in the player’s face and ask, ‘How do you feel?’
How do you think he feels? He’s exhausted.
This is modern football’s biggest disease. Everything is content. Everything is sponsorship. Everything is television. The match hasn’t even finished and they’re already trying to manufacture headlines.
They tell us they care about player welfare. Really? Then why are players playing more games than ever? Why are tournaments expanding? Why are injuries increasing? And now they want halftime interviews too? The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
Halftime is sacred. It belongs to the players and the coaches. That’s where games are won. That’s where tactics change. That’s where injuries get treated. That’s where leaders speak. It is not a media circus.
And don’t tell me this is for the fans. Fans want better football, not a tired player giving a robotic 20-second answer because somebody sold another broadcast package.
Vinícius understood that. He chose football over public relations.
The funniest part? They threaten him with a fine. A fine. As if that changes the principle. If I were there, I’d pay it too. Because some things are worth more than money.
If FIFA really had their way, they’d put microphones in the dressing room and call it innovation.
Football should come first. Not content. Not commercials. Not corporate greed.
For once, a player pushed back. And that’s exactly why so many people are angry.”
Eu sigo preferindo o padrão Globo de qualidade, uma ESPN, com transmissão limpa, com a pompa, a circunstância, o comentário com seriedade. Acho o Cazé um cara massa, mas tô velha demais para ser tratada como um adolescente de 14 anos.
