“Watch all the videos We need to embrace them and go out to develop Korean soccer.”
Hong Myung-bo, who is returning to the helm of the Korean national football team after 10 years, has defended former KFA national team strengthening committee member Park Joo-ho, who exposed the appointment process.
After the Hana Bank K League 1 2024 22nd round home game (0-1 loss) against Gwangju FC at the Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium on the 10th, Hong Myung-bo revealed the background to his change of heart and acceptance of the position as head coach of the national team at a press conference.
Hong, who accepted the position of head coach of the national team, prepared for criticism for his final challenge in football, said of former committee member Park Joo-ho's controversial revelations, "I watched the video and confirmed the content. My personal opinion is that committee member Park Joo-ho worked very hard through the connections he had."
While saying, “It must have been difficult to say that, so they could have said that. This kind of thing should happen more in the soccer world,” he defended Commissioner Park Joo-ho’s actions.
Coach Hong said that in order for Korean soccer to develop, we must also listen
to harsh words. He emphasized, “If each person’s opinion is respected, those things can become one and move toward the goal. Commissioner Park Joo-ho’s words may sound uncomfortable, but it is important to embrace them and move forward for better Korean soccer.”
Coach Hong has a connection with former Commissioner Park Joo-ho, having selected him 10 years ago during the 2014 Brazil World Cup. Former Commissioner Park Joo-ho, who worked on the power reinforcement committee for the past five months, uploaded a video criticizing the power reinforcement committee on his YouTube channel “Captain Pachuho” on the 8th, the day the Korea Football Association appointed Coach Hong as the head coach of the national team. He said in the video, “There were many members who unconditionally supported the domestic coach,” and “The overall flow was to elect coach Hong Myung-bo,” drawing outrage from fans. He then raised his voice, saying, “The last five months have been futile. I often thought that the power reinforcement committee was unnecessary. Nothing was done according to procedure.” He also said that regarding the process of appointing then U-23 coach Hwang Sun-hong as the temporary commander ahead of the A-match period in March, “The decision was made through a vote without much discussion.” The Korea Football Association announced legal action against former member Park, claiming that he had violated the ‘confidentiality agreement.’ 카지노사이트 추천
