The National Assembly’s Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee’s pending questions about the Korea Football Association (KFA) were tantamount to a “shouting show” that heard only what they wanted to hear and saw only what they wanted to see. This is because the “self-praise” that the ruling and opposition parties have voiced in one voice for the first time in a long time has no interest in power.
Jung Hae-sung, former chairman of the national team’s reinforcement committee who got off the train in the middle of the race, told reporters, “Please take good care of Coach Hong Myung-bo.” Of course, the KFA’s final administrative procedure was not sufficient in the process of appointing Hong. It provided an excuse for the team to be attacked. However, as long as Park Joo-ho, former member of the committee who has turned into a venue for “truth game” and is engaged in commercial activities through soccer, criticism to criticize “non-football players” is a sad reality in Korean soccer.
Is Park Joo-ho’s comment the only truth? Why are other former members of the committee venting their anger at Park who have not been summoned to the National Assembly? Park Ju-ho seemed reluctant to mention the word “agree” at the end of the questioning on pending issues. “At the 10th meeting, some suggested that we should become a domestic coach. They expressed their opinions. They said, “That’s a good idea.” They held multiple voting sessions afterwards. As a result, Hong Myung-bo and Wagner won seven votes each. Some said that it would be meaningless to divide the rankings since it is a double vote. So, some said, “Okay,” as it was suggested to delegate to the chairman. Another former Kang also flatly said, “It’s as it is in the minutes. There is nothing more to say. Everyone agreed on that.”
Still, there is no rational voice. Currently, Korean soccer is only mockery inside and outside. There are also no concerns about the current trend of advanced soccer in which a national coach from his own country takes the helm. The gap with Japan, which is aiming to advance to the semifinals of the 2030 World Cup and win the title in 2050, is widening by entrusting the coach, Hajime Moriyasu from 2018.
“I failed to express what I was trying to explain. I was not given the opportunity to speak properly,” said Chung Mong-gyu, chairman of the Korea Football Association, after a questioning on pending issues on Monday. “I was not given the opportunity to speak properly. I am sorry that I did not express well.” However, it is questionable whether Chung will be able to explain logically even if he gets the chance.
The KFA explained about the controversial issues at the National Assembly on Tuesday. Asked if it was a violation of the articles of association that the technical director Lee Im-saeng worked for the committee simultaneously, the KFA said, “The technical director did not work for the committee simultaneously. He also did not serve as the chairman of the committee as well,” adding, “It is not a violation of the articles of association because the three recommended candidates have carried out their work while the committee members’ work (recommendation of candidates for supervision) has been completed for the 10th time.” 메이저사이트
“Through the 10th round, the recommendation of candidates for supervision, which is the original role of the committee, has been completed. Chairman Jung Hae-sung, who received the full authority to proceed from the committee, narrowed down the three candidates and reported the first, second, and third rankings to Chairman Chung Mong-gyu on June 27 and prepared for an overseas business trip. Then, on the morning of the 28th, I contacted the association’s personnel manager and said, ‘I think that’s it for me. Please proceed with the rest of the work from the association,'” he said. “Since the chairman asked the association to proceed with the rest of the work related to the appointment of the director, the association left the work to the director Lee Im-saeng. He explained, “He is in charge of the administration of the association in the technical field, and he has watched the committee evaluate and recommend candidates in recent months.”
