Participate against the wind! Zheng Mengkui insisted on running for the East Asia Regional Executive Committee
The most controversial figure in Korean football in 2024 is Jung Mong-kyu, president of the Korean Football Association. At the beginning of the year, the defeat of the Asian Cup involved a series of chain reactions: first, Klinsmann's attitude after the defeat caused public anger, and then the media exposed the "infighting" incident between Son Heung-min and Li Gangren before the semi-finals, and then it was revealed that Zheng Mengkui chose Klinsmann for "the convenience of running for the FIFA Standing Committee", and did not follow the procedure for selection, and with the South Korean Olympic team's historic dream of entering the Olympic Games for ten times was shattered, the voice of asking Zheng Mengkui to leave class sounded again. The house leak happened to rain overnight, and with the Korean Football Association's "Italian favorite" Coach Marsh signing with the Canadian Football Association, the South Korean men's football team faced the embarrassment of having no coach in June.
It is on the cusp of this that Zheng Mengkui, president of the Korean Football Association, chose to "continue to run"! On the afternoon of the 16th local time in Thailand, the AFC East Asia Executive Committee election will be held in Bangkok, Thailand, according to the current situation, Zheng Mengkui, as the only candidate in East Asia, is almost a sure thing, which means that Zheng Mengkui will return to the AFC Center after 1 year.
Although there have been constant criticisms of Jung Mong-kyu in the Korean football circle and public opinion, including the Korean Players' Union and the Coaches' Association demanding his resignation, according to the relevant laws of South Korea: "If a participating sports organization is elected as the head of the organization, it must be reviewed by the Fairness Committee of the Korean Sports Council before he can run for election; If he is confirmed to take up an executive position in an international organization, it means that Jung Mong-kyu has actually managed the Korean Sports Council, and it will even be possible to amend the constitution of the Korean Football Association and continue to be re-elected as the president of the Korean Football Association. He paid no attention to the remarks of the "anti-Zheng faction", and perhaps these circumstances mean that Korean football will continue to explore the future development path in the era of Jung Mong-kyu's rule.
80 perpetrators, 60 have turned themselves in! Incheon punished itself and closed the home die-hard stands
Incheon United does not have a "calf guard" against fan violence. Following two consecutive days of announcements on May 12 and 13, Incheon United announced on May 13 that it would completely close the S Zone stands ("die-hard" fan stands) for the home games against Gwangju and Ulsan on May 25 and 29 due to the unpleasant behavior of the Gyeongin Derby on May 11.
In addition, the fans who "caused the accident" after the game on May 11 were officially notified that all fans who surrendered on May 13~19 will be treated leniently, and 80 bottles flew out of the scene according to the video, and 60 people have surrendered to the club. If the club does not surrender by the deadline, Incheon United will notify the Incheon police directly and the police will arrest them directly. All perpetrators will bear the economic losses of the venue. In addition, the Incheon United Club is ready to negotiate whether to permanently expel the perpetrator from membership.
Youth national brand Pohang system made! Huang Hee-chan took over from Han Qing
Is 2024 really going to belong to Pohang Iron Man? After "riding the dust" in the league, it is very likely that Pohang will blow a whirlwind in the national brand. Following Pohang High School's ace coach Baek Ki-tae taking charge of the South Korea U17 men's football team, today, South Korea's U20 coach has also been finalized, and he is also a coach with "Pohang color", he is the former Pohang High School coach Lee Chang Won, who has trained generations of Pohang elites such as Hwang Hee-chan, Moon Chang-jin, Kang Hyun-mo, etc. In 2024, he has just led the football department of Dongmyung University, which has been established for two months, to win the national championship, and he is also well-known in the Korean youth training circle.
The reason why Lee Chang-won was able to be elected as the U20 coach was completely because of his "star-making" strength for young talents and his lineage with Baek Ki-tae, who took over Lee Chang-won's Pohang High School and led the team to start another brilliant future. Now that the two are connected, the intention of the Korean Football Association is self-evident. Will they succeed in building South Korea's national brand with the most successful Pohang youth training model? At least it's a new attempt.
