Ahn Jung-hwan: Killing Italy was a trade-off in exchange for my career Leaving Perugia made me suffer

Live Bar April 16, 2016 In the semi-finals of the World Cup in South Korea and Japan, Ahn Jung-hwan, who scored the winning goal against Italy, talked about his mood at that time, saying that the goal was exchanged for his career.

Ahn Jung-hwan: "At that time... Really, I'm also very angry. First of all, before I played in the World Cup in Korea and Japan, I played in Serie A. You can't just let me break through the Italian goal because I play in Serie A, right? ”

Reporter: "Maybe it's a memory you don't want to mention..."

An Zhenhuan: "It doesn't matter, after all, it was a long time ago." I remember being very happy at the time, being called up by the national team to participate in the World Cup in Korea and Japan was on the one hand, and as a footballer, it made me even happier to see South Korea host the World Cup. Whether or not to win a game and complete a historic breakthrough (South Korea has no previous World Cup victory), everyone has such an idea.

"Anyway, maybe it's an opportunity from Heaven to us. We were in the group stage and really... It was hard, but it was a great kick. In fact, before playing Italy, we all thought we would lose, we couldn't win them at all... Presumably, I don't need to repeat it, the Italian team at that time was full of big names, and each position was a world superstar.

"That's what I thought, just like this is the last game, because no one can guarantee that they will be in the World Cup final next time, and all the players are desperate to play. But kicking and kicking found that it was not completely out of chance...

"I didn't think we could win the game, I still can't believe that I can jump and compete for that header. To be honest, this is the upset, the data on the field says it all, so people are more ecstatic. The subsequent displeasure with Perugia left me devastated for the rest of my career... Saying that there are no regrets is definitely a lie, and if you originally scored a goal, it is normal to be happy. I was wondering, is it going in or not? It was a goal that I had bought my entire career for.

"This victory in South Korea has had a big impact on my career and on all the people. The Korea-Japan World Cup can be said to have played a turning point for the rise of Korean football. There will be many happy moments in a person's life, this game... It was one of the happiest moments of my life. ”
