Japanese media also screamed, “Steady Hwan’s revelations, Korea Football Association was political even 20 years ago”

MBC commentator Steady Hwan has exposed the past of the Korean Football Association.

On his YouTube channel, he shared the inside story of the Korean national soccer team during the 2006 World Cup 20 years ago.

At the time, the national team was in the midst of the resignation of coach Joe Bonfreire in August 2005 and the appointment of Dick Advocaat in September of that year.

“I think people thought that Bonfreire’s career as a coach was inferior to other coaches, 카지노사이트 추천 and there were many people who wanted to fire him and take his place,” said Steady.

Kim Nam-il, who was also present, said, “How I felt at the time was that there were two coaches.” He raised the issue of the national team’s external pressure. The implication is that someone else in the soccer federation was interfering with the coach’s inherent authority.

“I took South Korea to the highest level, but instead of helping me, the KFA technical committee kept putting me in trouble by dropping players they didn’t want from the roster,” Bonfreire claimed in an interview in 2005.

His comments also reached Japan. Soccer Digest wrote, “Steady exposed the corruption 20 years ago. The KFA was political even then. Recently, the KFA has been facing similar criticism for ignoring impartiality with the appointment of Hong Myung-bo.”
