Episode 198 Russia World Cup (2)
Clang-
Secretary Hwang Bo-jin hurriedly entered the chairman’s office at the sound of something breaking.
Objects that were smashed against the wall and scattered around.
The chairman at the center kept grumbling as if he was angry.
“Mr. Chairman. Are you okay?”
“Are you feeling better now?”
The chairman, who was shouting loudly, had a newspaper with the latest date in his hand.
The chairman’s voice was filled with resentment as he threw down the newspaper with trembling hands.
“What does this kid know about the association and why does he keep talking about it?”
“I’m sorry. We should have taken control of it in advance.”
There was no particular point of contact between the association and Kim Hyeon-woo.
Of course, after coach Stielike was fired.
In an attempt to avoid public opinion, they leaked a leaflet about the appointment of Director Kim Hyun-woo.
On the contrary, there was a record of giving up when criticism against the association grew.
“Don’t you know? Public opinion will naturally subside over time anyway.”
“That guy keeps hanging on to me. It’s your administrative failure, so why is my name mentioned?”
“…sorry.”
Aide Hwang Bo-jin bowed his head.
Of course, up until now, the selection of the director was entirely the chairman’s choice. There was no need to mention it and make people feel bad.
The Football Association was a place that was entirely under the influence of the president.
“However, since the players’ discord was mentioned through foreign media, the situation will change quickly.”
“Do you know how long it would take for us to officially acknowledge it?”
“Yes? Then it might feel too artificial….”
“What are you guys sitting there for? Get my name out of the news as soon as possible! Warn the media not to forget the bribes they’ve given me.”
“…All right.”
The article, which was initially considered a flyer, became a hot topic after the association took action.
An association that responded with unusual speed.
The blame that had been pouring on the association for the team’s elimination from the World Cup has now shifted to the players.
– So you’re saying that Kim Min-jun talked back to Son Hyeong-min?
― The national team’s discipline has collapsed. How can we do that to our seniors who are like the sky?
– He just became arrogant because he was successful by catching the eye of a good director.
― A player with no foundation like that should not be called up to the national team.
― Let’s not forget the essence. The important thing is that the association chose the wrong director… .
Most soccer fans understood the inside story, though.
People who heard the news about soccer expressed their anger towards individual players.
After finishing the broadcast, Hyunwoo arrived at Incheon Airport.
How did you find out?
The arrival hall was packed with reporters waiting for him.
“come!”
“Coach Kim Hyun-woo. What do you think about our failure to advance to the World Cup Round of 16?”
“What is my intention in publicly criticising the Football Association on TV?”
“As the coach of the team, do you feel responsible for Kim Min-jun’s mistakes?”
Hyunwoo, who was just about to pass by, stopped when asked the last reporter’s question.
A tone that seems to question established facts.
“What did you say?”
“The association has officially acknowledged the discord within the players, and as the coach of the players in question, I feel responsible….”
“It’s discord.”
Hyunwoo, who was slightly dazed, looked around.
He prided himself on being well-trained in the British yellow press.
He makes me think that Korean reporters are no joke either.
The reporter pushed up his glasses and his eyes sparkled.
“Please speak for the sake of the people’s right to know.”
Hyunwoo, who was about to reveal his position at an official press conference, changed his mind.
“First of all, it is true that Minjun is a player for our club. But I don’t know all the details. I am a club team coach, not a member of the national team.”
“But as a director, I have a responsibility….”
“Does a coach need to know everything about a player’s private life? What’s more important is that the association officially acknowledged the report. They said they were looking into it without knowing the details.”
Perhaps sensing that something big was coming, the reporters hurriedly extended their microphones.
“What is the association’s main role? Isn’t it to help players focus on their national team matches? But the association is exposing the players’ shortcomings.”
“It’s natural that when hot-blooded players get together, they don’t agree with each other. This happens a lot at Barnett, where I’m in charge.”
“It is the role of the manager and the executives to coordinate this, but this incident is no different from the association admitting that it is unable to protect the players.”
“But isn’t Kim Min-jun’s attitude wrong? Are you defending him because he is the coach of his team?”
Hyunwoo glared at the reporter who had just spoken.
‘I remembered the broadcasting station.’
“I will hear the details directly from the player and reveal them through a later interview. However, I am quite shocked by this incident. I felt the need to consider the possibility of selecting players from my team to the national team in the future.”
“Yes? Then does that mean you will not respond to the call-up of Kim Min-jun?”
“Director. Director!”
As Hyunwoo took steps without hesitation, the reporters followed him.
That day, all the news on the Internet was covered with soccer.
Even though Hyunwoo is a coach who has gained national popularity as a treble coach.
It was impossible to avoid criticism in the face of an article that strangely defended the association.

The National Agricultural Cooperative Federation, the culprit behind this situation, has remained silent.
It was after follow-up articles came out that the tide turned.
What made this stand out were the interviews with directors who were close to Hyunwoo.
As other directors publicly supported Hyunwoo’s remarks, the public, who heard the news, also realized the seriousness of the association.
– What? It’s nothing serious. Why is the association stepping in and admitting it? The players said they resolved it among themselves.
– If the association does that, then so be it. Why would the Treble coach get angry for no reason?
― OUT with the Football Association that ruined the World Cup! The president must state his position!
– What about expressing your position? Just resignation is the answer.
― We must root it out, even if it means boycotting the A-match.
Same time.
Hyunwoo, who visited a company that recruited an advertising model, met an unexpected person.
“I didn’t know the chairman would come in person.”
“I don’t know much about soccer rules, but I’ve heard so much about the coach. I wanted to meet him.”
“I am truly honored.”
One group.
This company, whose main business was military and finance, was known to most people for something else.
The fact that it is the parent company of a baseball team located in Daejeon.
Strictly speaking, domestic sports were a business from which it was difficult to expect profits.
Yet, there is a reason why companies do not spare investment.
Because it allows you to reach people directly from a marketing perspective.
‘I heard the chairman is very interested in sports.’
In that sense, one company was one that had a lot of fun through sports.
They invested a lot in shooting as well as baseball, and achieved results at the Olympics.
Chairman Seung-Hyeon Kim has served as the Chairman of the Boxing Association.
Later on, he founded an e-sports company.
‘The grades are… disappointing.’
As a businessman, Chairman Seung-Hyeon Kim uniquely emphasizes loyalty in his family motto.
He was known for not sparing any expense in investing in sports.
It was then that the chairman’s gaze, which had been welcoming him warmly, changed.
“But the requirements for appearing in advertisements are unique.”
“you’re right.”
“Are you interested in a position at the Football Association? There shouldn’t be an empty position there, right? Oh, right. Sorry. I tend to speak informally to people I’m happy to meet.”
“You can speak freely.”
The reason Hyunwoo, who had turned down advertising offers from many companies in the past, visited Hana was because of the Football Association.
It is also true that the current chairman of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation has had a significant impact on the K-League.
If he were to resign, someone would need to fill his void.
Let’s get this straight, it seems like all the friendly attitude up until now was a lie.
Chairman Kim Seung-hyun’s expression changed.
“Because this landmass called the Republic of Korea is so small, you end up meeting all sorts of people.”
“Yes.”
“So, of course, I know the people in that family… Do I really need to do that?”
Hyunwoo paused at this.
‘Do I really have to go this far?’
I’m just a guy who’s interested in soccer.
It was not uncommon to try to exert influence to this extent.
‘but….’
Is it right to just stand by and watch as they clearly run towards the cliff?
Hyunwoo, who had that thought, met the chairman’s eyes.
“I understand that the current chairman of the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation has lost ties with that family.”
“That doesn’t give me any reason to help. It’s my belief that there’s no need to make enemies.”
“But what if the risk is low but the reward is high?”
After all, isn’t the most important thing for businesspeople money?
“On the contrary, you may be able to take a lot from your family through this matter.”
“how?”
“I happen to be in frequent contact with the Qatari royal family. I hear a lot about this and that.”
As if interested, Chairman Kim Seung-hyun leaned forward.
“so?”
“Did you know that Qatar will host the next World Cup?”
“of course.”
“But recently, there is a shortage of LNG ships. And the place that is famous for manufacturing ships in that field….”
“Up to there.”
The corners of the chairman’s mouth were smiling brightly as if he had found something funny.
“Take care of the loose ends and be friends with the real ones?”
“I only know soccer. I don’t know how valuable this information is. But it’s probably different for you, Chairman.”
“yes.”
“Also, since Qatar is investing a lot in infrastructure for the next World Cup, there are many cases of foreign companies entering. If….”
“Ah, okay.”
The chairman cut off Hyunwoo’s words and stroked his chin as if he was thinking for a moment.
“Mr. Kim.”
“Yes, sir.”
“Have you eaten?”
The chairman’s face brightened as he said that.
