“Marsh is also recognized”
According to the BBC on the 27th, the Canadian national team was found to have used drones before the incident.
Canadian media criticized, “Both the men’s and women’s national teams have relied on drones in recent years.”
Canadian women’s soccer, which won the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, has recently been disgraced by drone spying.
Prior to the first round of the group stage on the 22nd, Canadian staff caught a drone at the training ground of the opponent New Zealand national team and became controversial. They were arrested by police who were dispatched after receiving a report. Due to this incident, the head coach of the Canadian national team, power analysis, and others were immediately removed.
The Canadian Football Association also announced the suspension of coach Beverly Priestman in an official statement after the first game.
The problem is that women’s national team is not the only one who used drones. Kevin Blue, CEO of the Canadian Football Association, admitted that the men’s national team that participated in the Copa America recently ended also spied on drones.
Canada reached the semifinals in Copa and finished the tournament in the final fourth place.
Canadian national team coach Jesse Marsch, who was considered a candidate for the head coach of the Korean national soccer team, was also aware of this and reportedly criticized those involved.
CEO Blue said, “There have been cases of drone use at the Copa competition,” adding, “The incident happened and I talked with Marsh. He blamed employees for what they did as a practice.”
David Schumaker, CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee, criticized the incident, saying, “There is information that could tarnish the victory of women’s soccer, which won the gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics.
Coincidentally, the head coach at the time of the Tokyo gold medal is Priestman, who led the team until recently.
However, former head coaches and athletes refuted the suspicious look at them, saying there was no drone use during the Tokyo Olympics.
Former coach John Herdman said, “I am very confident that these things would not have been allowed while I was at the helm.” He led the Canadian men’s team at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and the women’s team at the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympics.
Canadian women’s soccer legend Christine Sinclair, who played for the national team for 23 years from 2000 to last year, strongly denied it.메이저놀이터
“I’ve been a member of the national team for 23 years, but I’ve never seen or discussed drone videos at a team or individual meeting,” Sinclair said on his SNS.
Canada’s women’s national team, led by coach Andy Spence, will play the second Group A match against host France on the 29th.
