While Chung Mong-gyu, president of the Korea Football Association, is considering his bid for a fourth term, Heo Jung-moo, former chairman of the Daejeon Hana Citizen, cut off the first tape. Chairman Huh announced his candidacy for the 55th president of the Korea Football Association at the Olympic Parktel in Seoul on the 25th.
Chung was elected president of the Korea Football Association for the first time in a vote in 2013. He succeeded in serving three terms in a row, but there was no “vote battle” afterward. If Chung decides to seek his fourth term, he will be elected as the head of Korean soccer through an election in 12 years.
Heo clearly defined the system under the current chairman Chung Mong-gyu. He said in a press conference for his candidacy, “I am here today with a heavy responsibility and a sense of duty. Now Korean soccer is faltering. It is neither clean nor transparent nor just. The KFA’s dogmatic and self-righteous operating system has resulted in the system’s eventual collapse.”
“It was infinitely painful to watch before my eyes the criticism of soccer fans, the concerns of all walks of life, and above all, the conflict between my fellow soccer players. I just felt sorry for all the people who love soccer as one of the soccer players, along with the lament of how Korean soccer has come to this. I stood here with a trembling heart and a praying heart at this moment,” he said. “Everyone wants the Korea Football Association to come back to life, but no one has been able to come forward in the face of a huge barrier. So I decided not to remain a bystander anymore. Someone decided to be a small grain of wheat to bring our soccer back to life out of a sense of duty to stop this fall,” he said.
Huh suggested five keywords: companionship, fairness, balance, transparency and fostering. He boasts ample fieldwork and administrative experience. A two-time head coach of the Korean national team, Huh is a mastermind who led the team to advance to the round of 16 best teams at an away World Cup in South Africa in 2010. He played for PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands during his playing days and played in European leagues, and led the Jeonnam Dragons and Incheon United in the K-League. As an administrator, he served as vice chairman of the Korea Football Association and vice president of the Korea Professional Football Association. Until last year, he led Daejeon Hana Citizen as chairman.
Huh brought up the “pleasant challenge” of the South African World Cup. “The road I am trying to take is definitely a thorny road. There is also a huge barrier. However, I decided not to give up and take the lead because someone has to go,” he said. “I will reform the Korea Football Association and start a pleasant challenge to make a new 100 years of Korean soccer.”
At every important moment since the coach’s inauguration, Huh has made headlines by saying that he is determined to use the four-character idiom. “In the name of the Republic of Korea, we will prepare thoroughly with the mindset of ‘Pabu Chimju’,” he said ahead of the final group match against Nigeria in the South African World Cup. This means that he will break the pot to cook rice and sink the boat he will ride on his way back. He expressed his will to fight with determination without promising to come back alive, and it has become a reality.
In this presidential election challenge, he brought out “Julakdong-dong.” “Jul” is the sound of an egg when it is about to hatch, and “Tak” 카지노사이트 is the sound of a mother chicken pecking at the skin and breaking it. In order for a new name to be born, the chick in the egg and the mother chicken outside must struggle together and make efforts,” he said. “It is time for soccer players to unite and unite to make efforts to reborn Korean soccer with all the people who love soccer. That way, Korean soccer can change and take off again,” he explained.
“If I become the president of the association, I will create a fair and transparent association and lay the foundation for the Korea Football Association to advance to the world in the future. I will make the association look like an association. Korean soccer has world competitiveness. I will lay the foundation for advancing to the quarterfinals and semifinals instead of the round of 16 at the World Cup,” he said.
Chairman Huh said of Chung Mong-gyu, “He is a respectful person who is faithful, sincere, and dedicated to his work. There is no reason to criticize and hate people even though there are administrative difficulties in recent years. However, I think it is time to change.”
