Former Vietnamese national soccer team coach Park Hang-seo opened up about a war of words with Shin Tae-yong, coach of Indonesia.
Director Park Hang-seo returned to Korea via Incheon International Airport at 4:40 pm on the 14th. The plane returned home on Vietnam Airlines flight VN414. Director Park Hang-seo immediately held a standing press conference at Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 Gate C.
Head coach Park Hang-seo, who took over as Vietnam coach in 2017, wrote a myth of winning runner-up at the 2018 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) U-23 Football Championship and semifinals at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. He also lifted the trophy. Coach Park Hang-seo’s Vietnam led the 2018 Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup (now Mitsubishi Cup) victory.
After leading the team for 5 years and 4 months, he resigned as Vietnam coach after the 2022 Mitsubishi Cup held in January. The Mitsubishi Cup drew attention not only as the last tournament of head coach Park Hang-seo, but also as a confrontation between coaches from Korea. Vietnam, led by coach Park Hang-seo, and Indonesia, led by coach Shin Tae-yong, faced each other in the semifinals.
The confrontation between the two coaches even erupted into a war of nerves, sparking even more sparks. Ahead of the first leg of the semifinals, the two coaches created a tense atmosphere by not shaking hands with each other. Here, director Shin Tae-yong posted a post criticizing Vietnam through social media, reaching its climax. 카지노
About a month later, coach Park Hang-seo opened up about the war of nerves at the press conference on his return home. Manager Park Hang-seo said, “There is no need to get angry with my juniors. There may be a war of nerves ahead of an important game. Since the media does not talk about the overall context and only talks about the middle, neither I nor coach Shin Tae-yong can feel bad. I don’t think there is a need to belittle during the interview. As a Korean coach, I think there can be enough nerves before the match,” he dismissed the controversy.
Rather, he cheered for Shin Tae-yong’s future. Coach Shin Tae-yong will lead the Indonesia U-20 national team to the 2023 FIFA U-20 World Cup in May. Coach Park Hang-seo left a message of support, saying, “There are good times and bad times in human relationships. I hope coach Shin Tae-yong will show his presence in important competitions in May.”
