FORMER COACH CHA BUM-GEUN SAYS, "LEE KANG-IN'S PARENTS AND I SHOULD ALSO BE CANED"
Lee Kang-in and Son Heung-min mention the 'Table Tennis Gate' division during the Asian Cup, "I'm ashamed of myself for not making an active effort"... Emphasis on adult role.
Lee Kang-in's parents, and I too, who knew clearly but did not try to tell them the direction and path, deserve to be caned.
Former national soccer team coach Cha Bum-geun said at the '36th Cha Bum-geun Soccer Awards' held at the Crystal Hall of the HW Convention Center in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 29th.
As a congratulatory speaker at the awards ceremony, he left sound advice for promising soccer players, parents, and the Korean soccer community.
Former coach Cha said, "Rather than someone who is good at soccer, I have urged and said that you should be a good person, a wonderful person, and a big person who knows how to take care of those around you," referring to the conflict within the national soccer team that arose during the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup. did. 카지노
Several young players, including Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain), a key resource of the Korean national soccer team, played table tennis noisily after leaving dinner early the day before the semi-final against Jordan, and captain Son Heung-min (Tottenham) stopped them in the process.
There was a fight with Lee Kang-in and his finger was injured.
Former coach Cha said, “After finishing the Asian Cup, 23-year-old Lee Kang-in is facing a lot of criticism from the world.
“I would have never dreamed that something that was insignificant in Spain or France would make Korean fans this angry,” said former coach Cha.
“The generation receiving awards today will have Eastern humility and sacrifice, or the sense of responsibility as a player for the Korean national team.”
“You may think this is tacky and useless, and it may become more common in the future,” he said, emphasizing that “oriental human relationships are a weapon and asset that we naturally inherited.”
This kind of etiquette is what Park Ji-sung, technical director of Jeonbuk Hyundai, and himself as a player shared.
Former coach Cha, who cited this as the secret to successfully completing his life, emphasized, "Even if children do not know their importance and try to throw them away, adults must pick them up and hold them in their hands so that they can grow into respected adults."
At the same time, he said, "Lee Kang-in's parents, who failed to teach this, and I, who obviously knew the direction but did not make an effort to tell them the direction, deserve to be caned," and then expressed relief, saying, "I am really glad that there is a claim like Son Heung-min."
Former coach Cha, who also brought up his own experience during the German professional soccer Bundesliga in the 1970s and 1980s, mentioned the possibility of conflict between generations and cultures, saying, "In places where there is no concept of seniors, juniors, or adults, there are fights with colleagues and players being harsh toward coaches.
“It's not that strange to face each other in a similar way,” he said.
He said, “There was no effort to actively think about and educate people about the friction between generations who have experienced different cultures.
“I am old now, and I thought to myself that I can take a break now,” said former coach Cha, who also blamed himself, saying, “I feel very embarrassed when I think about it now.”
To the parents of the winners, former director Cha said, “The parents here are doing what adults should do.”
We need to think seriously about what this is.
You must first think about what is important for decent and genuine success.
“Please be sure to ask,” he requested.
