After participating in the “MMCA Play: Futsal for Boys” tournament, Korean football legend Park Ji-sung gave an interview where he discussed the current state of Korean football and the controversial appointment of Hong Myung-bo, expressing his deep disappointment.
Regarding the recent controversy over the national team’s coaching appointment, Park said, “It’s an indescribable tragedy. The Korean football system is now in complete collapse. We should have followed proper appointment procedures, but ultimately we failed to do so.”
“I feel very saddened by this. We created a huge miracle during the 2002 World Cup, and I hope such miracles can still happen in the future. However, from the current situation, it seems unlikely. The last time I had any hope for Korean football was five months ago.”
“I believe working for the Football Association should be something every football person aspires to do, but now it seems like something everyone wants to avoid. People’s trust in Korean football has declined, and I think it will take a long time to recover. Therefore, we need to be open and honest and move forward with our feet on the ground.”
