Dan Petrescu scolded his assistants from Chonbuk: “Sit like fools on the bench”

Jeonbuk led 2-0 after goals from Moon Sung-min (‘2) and Son Mik-kyu (’38) but fell behind after Jung Tae-wook was sent off (’45).

According to AS.ro, Dan Petrescu lost his temper after the referee’s decision (confirmed by VAR), poured water on his head and scolded his assistants for not protesting with him: “You all sit like fools on the bench.”

Kitchi reduced the gap thanks to Jantscher (’69), but the Romanian coach’s team won thanks to the intervention of goalkeeper Jung-Hoon Kim.

With this success, Jeonbuk has 9 points and is in 2nd place in Group F.

Jeonbuk will face Bangkok United in their final match, but that game will not matter if the Thai side win against Lion City (Singapore) on Wednesday.
