The Korean Football Association chooses a coach, a game of power struggle
Recently, the biggest focus of South Korean football is that the South Korean team coach selection has reached an impasse again. Over the weekend, Chung Hae-sung, chairman of the Combat Power Enhancement Committee, who has been in charge of selecting a coach, announced his resignation, marking another impasse in the selection of the South Korean team's coach. Recently, a number of Korean media reported on this incident, although the reasons are different, but without exception, they all pointed the finger at Zheng Mengkui, president of the Korean Football Association. On July 1, the newly established Korean Football Professional Coaches Association publicly bombarded Jung Mong-kyu, arguing that he should delegate power, respect South Korean coaches and players, and stop using them as a stepping stone to his "political career advancement". So what's going on? Gathering the news from various Korean media, we have drawn the following clues:
It turned out that Zheng Haicheng was not chosen by Zheng Mengkui, but after Klinsmann's accident, Zheng Mengkui was forced to accept the compromise of the "localists". As an "old fritter", Zheng Haicheng had a vague concept from the beginning, treating the selection of the coach as a child's play, and the purpose was to choose the local handsome who had a "close relationship" with him. As a "local" who pushed to the forefront, Zheng Haicheng seems to be conscientious, but he has already thought of countermeasures, and he rejected many foreign coaches' applications on the grounds of "salary" and "age". At the same time, he was ready to send Huang Shanhong, Hong Mingfu, Shen Tailong and other people to the stage, and also asked Ma Xi that "the coaching staff must have XXX (Korean coaches)", which is the real reason why Ma Xi rejected South Korea. But after Hwang Sun-hong's unexpected defeat in Doha, Jung Hae became the local coach and could only bring Kim Do-hoon to the national team and promised to "have a chance to turn positive".
However, what changed the situation was that Hiddink came to South Korea to participate in the event and recommended to Zheng Mengkui his assistant coach Graham Arnold, who coached Australia to the round of 16 of the World Cup in 2006. So, Zheng Mengkui attacked Arnold and told Zheng Haicheng that "the coach must be a foreigner", which is equivalent to slapping Zheng Haicheng in the face and making him shameless to face Kim Do-hoon, who took the initiative to "take a back seat" after learning the news, and changed his name to "hope to coach a club." Knowing that he had been tricked, Zheng Haicheng decided to threaten to resign. According to a South Korean reporter, "Zheng Haicheng was very angry and asked Zheng Mengkui for a theory, thinking that his efforts were not as good as Hiddink's words." Zheng Mengkui did not explain, but gladly accepted the resignation, in fact, Zheng Haicheng's last feeling was that he was fired. ”
In addition, after the failure of the "localists" to seize power, Zheng Haicheng, as the "spokesperson", was not recognized by Zheng Mengkui from beginning to end, so Zheng Mengkui did not disclose his salary bottom line to Zheng Haicheng. In the absence of any standards, Zheng Haicheng has no way to talk to foreign coaches. Among them, the Turkish veteran coach Güneshi has a very high interest, but Zheng Haicheng wants to correct Huang Shanhong, and secondly, he doesn't have any hole cards. When Güneş learned that Zheng Haicheng was just a "puppet" and could not be the master, he terminated the negotiations. And the promise to Tushuai, in fact, Zheng Haicheng can't be the master, and the decision is in the hands of Zheng Mengkui. The rules of the game were still formulated by Zheng Mengkui, and the result was also his "one word". It can be seen that the selection of coaches by the Korean Football Association has been a farce from beginning to end, and the Korean media even proposed that "the tragedy of the second Klinsmann may be staged again!" ”
Now, Li Linsheng has taken over Zheng Haicheng's class. But Li Linsheng, who is well versed in the way of power and thick black science, is not as "real" as Zheng Haicheng, but completely obedient to Zheng Mengkui. Li Linsheng received the task of going to Europe to interview Dalic, and if he could, to negotiate, Zheng Mengkui would personally go out. After all, Dalic's connections in international football can help Zheng Mengkui compete for a place on the executive committee of FIFA again. If Dalic can't do it, Li Linsheng's "order" is to sign Arnold at all costs, which is undoubtedly a good thing for the Chinese team. If the Australian coach is poached before the start of the World Preliminary Tournament, then the end of this farce may be really dramatic, which is equivalent to South Korea helping China sweep away a big stone. What the specific outcome will be, we can wait and see how things develop.
K2 League: Unbeaten in 9 rounds! Jeonnam defeated Gyeongnam 4-2 away
Let's take a look at K2. After the reversal of FC Anyang, Jeonnam Cheonlong, who ranked second, also stepped up the pace of chasing points. In the game that just ended, they beat Gyeongnam FC 4-2 away, especially after conceding a goal in the 10th minute, and scored three goals in a row at half-time to kill the suspense of the game. In the standings, the gap between them and Anyang has narrowed to five points, and Lee Shogun-kuan's team continues to retain their hopes of winning the title.
In the other match, "4-0" professional Huzhong Nam Asan FC defeated rival Seoul Yilian 2-0 with two goals from new foreign player Jose, and overtook Gimpo FC to move up to third place. The top three in this year's K2 League are currently Anyang, Jeonnam and Chungnam Asan, and it seems that there is a sense of chaos in the world.
Hwang Hyun-so's official punishment: 15-game suspension and a fine of 12 million
Not long ago, FC Seoul's central defender Hwang Hyun-so was reported by fans for concealing the fact of drunk driving, and finally ended up being expelled from FC Seoul. This also means that Hwang Hyun-so will become a free agent in the transfer market, but which club needs to wait for the official punishment result of the Korean Football League before signing him, is it worth signing? Today, the 13th Reward and Punishment Committee of the Korean Professional Football League officially announced: "Hwang Hyun-so will be suspended for 15 games and fined 12 million." This penalty also means that if Hwang Hyun-so joins K1, he will only be able to play the last two games of the play-offs. And if he joins K2, he can play some games, but his high salary will also need to be paid separately. However, Hwang Hyun-so's attitude is still more sincere, and if the K2 club does not give up, it is also a good choice to go there and "start over".
