The athletes should also reflect,” 온라인카지노 he criticized.
“I told him not to do it because I was afraid of the consequences, but he should take responsibility for it unconditionally,” he said, referring to Chung’s decision to give Hwang the interim job of A team coach after he sacked Jürgen Klinsmann in February, adding, “What he has done so far is to bring Korean soccer down for more than 10 years.”

“We lost to Indonesia in many ways, including the performance itself and the ratio of chances. I thought they were a team preparing for the Olympic qualifiers, and they were at the same level as Indonesia under Shin Tae-yong.

“President Chung should resign unconditionally. He is also responsible for using the wrong people,” he said, adding, “Only then can we have a future again. The people who blew up the future of Korean soccer should be wiped out and everything should be changed. They have done too much wrong to Korean soccer,” he reiterated.
