Chairman Chung Mong-kyu is the person who caused the situation.
The Olympic team led by Hwang Sun-hong tied with Indonesia 2-2 through overtime at the 2024 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Asian Cup quarterfinal match held at Abdullah bin Khalifa Stadium in Doha, Qatar on Wednesday. The team lost 10-11 in the penalty shootout that followed.
This year’s event will also serve as a preliminary match for Asia for the 2024 Paris Olympics. The Korean team can advance to the Olympics only when it is in the top three, and if it is in the fourth place, it can play in the intercontinental playoff. However, Hwang failed to make it to the Olympics as he failed to make it to the top four. The world record of advancing to the Olympics for the 10th consecutive time has also fallen through.
Those who caused this situation can be pointed out microscopically. However, Chairman Chung Mong-gyu is most responsible when viewed macroscopically.
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu is not supposed to be in this position now. In 2023, he attempted to unexpectedly pardon match-fixers who shook the foundations of sports. He should have resigned, but he kept his position by running away.
Then, around 2019, coach Kim Pan-gon was the vice chairman of the Korea Football Association and chairman of the national team selection committee, and the current Ulsan HD coach Hong Myung-bo abandoned the process when he was in charge of administrative affairs as the executive director of the Korea Football Association. Through this, only Jurgen Klins was involved in the appointment, which led to the Asian Cup disaster of zero effective shooting to Jordan.
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu is ultimately responsible for the frustration at the Olympics. When Klinsmann was replaced in March, he had to find an interim coach to play in the World Cup qualifiers. The Power Reinforcement Committee, including Jeong Hae-sung, chairman of the Power Reinforcement Committee, formed by Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, brought Hwang Sun-hong, who had to prepare for the Olympic qualifiers. 토토사이트
At a time when tempering was in full swing, the Olympic team participated in the Western Asia Friendship Competition without a coach. The result of ignoring the Olympic qualifiers is now this situation.
Chairman Chung Mong-gyu should have stepped down several times, but he does not budge. It is incomprehensible.
