First player interview after taking charge of national team Reunion after 10 years, going to Germany to meet with Kim Min-jae and Lee Jae-sung
National soccer team coach Hong Myung-bo had a private meeting with 'Captain' Son Heung-min.
An official from the Korea Football Association said on the 20th, "Coach Hong met with Son Heung-min at a location in London, England the previous afternoon, local time." He
added, "Son Heung-min's team Tottenham Hotspur had a team practice match (against Queens Park Rangers) on the 20th, so they met on the afternoon of the 19th. The two of them talked alone for about an hour."
On the 15th, Coach Hong, who went to Europe to appoint a foreign coach, met in Spain, Portugal, and then moved to London, England.
Coach Hong, who had stated that he would meet with European players if their schedules matched up upon his departure, first visited the national team captain Son Heung-min.
It has been reported that Coach Hong, who accompanied the staff member who was in charge of interpretation for this European trip, met only with Son Heung-min. It
seems that Coach Hong, who took charge of the national team amidst controversy, asked Son Heung-min to take charge of the team. An association official explained, “Coach Hong will reveal what was discussed in the future.” This is the first time in 10 years since the 2014 Brazil World Cup that Coach Hong and Son Heung-min have met again on the national team. Coach Hong, who visited Son Heung-min first after taking charge of the national team, will also travel to Germany on the 20th to meet with defender Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich) and midfielder Lee Jae-sung (Mainz). He is also scheduled to meet with Hwang In-beom and Seol Young-woo, who play with him in Crvena Zvezda in Serbia. As Coach Hong began his work for the national team, public criticism of the Korea Football Association and his appointment process has not subsided. After the revelations by former Korea Football Association National Team Strengthening Committee Chairman Park Joo-ho, former national team players such as commentator Lee Young-pyo, Jeonbuk Hyundai Director Park Ji-sung, and Lee Dong-gook continued to react harshly toward the association. As the controversy continued, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism began to investigate whether there were any problems with the operation of the Korea Football Association, including the appointment process of Coach Hong. The Sports Ethics Center also began an investigation into the appointment process of Coach Hong. Meanwhile, Coach Hong, who is currently meeting with foreign coaches and meeting with key overseas players of the national team, including Son Heung-min, is scheduled to return to Korea next week. The date of his return may change depending on the local schedule. 파워볼사이트
