Sorrow and Pleasure alternates in the Korean players of World Cup hero.
Guus Hiddink, who is the former coach of Korean team, Seol Ki-Hyeon and Lee Eul-Yong have advanced to European leagues and followed up their victories. On the other hand, Ahn Jung-Hwan and Hong Myung-Bo are in trouble owing to the problem of registration transfer.
▽ Korean Heroes 〓 Seol Ki-Hyeon (Anderlecht, Belgium) scored continuous goals for 3 games. He scored the goal in the second half of the game, of the road game on August 25, and so his team won the game against Standard by a score of 2-0. Seol Ki-Hyeon scored the consecutive goals for 3 games after the opening game, and had 4th goal for the season. Owing to his activity, the team won the three consecutive victories and recorded 9 scores. He is currently in the first place before BRUGGE for the goal gains.
Lee Eul-Yong (Trabzonspor, Turkey) also took part full time in the game on August 25. In a home game, as a left wing back he took full charge of a free kick and corner kick and led the team attack.
Star of Kyoto, Park Ji-Sung (Kyoto, Purple Sangga) participated in All Star Game on August 24 and received the good response from spectaculars. Participated by recommendation of the coach, Park Ji-Sung failed to score the goal at that day, but he played in a ground of 90 minutes without changing owing to an excellent skill.
▽ Hiddink 〓Hiddink will visit Korea in the morning on September 4 earlier than the scheduled date to make a contract of the technical advice with Korea Football
Association(KFA) and to see the 2000 South and North Korea unification soccer game.
Hiddink will return to Netherlands on September 8 or 9 after the unification soccer is finished. He will be able to return home happily as his team, PSV Eindhoven won the two straight victories in the Netherlands league. PSV won the game against Groningen by a score of 1-0 on August 25. The team is in the leading group by recording 2 wins and no defeat.
▽ Where for me? 〓 Ahn Jung-Hwan which promoted the advance of Premier League Blackburnm England failed to obtain a working visa from the England government on August 24. He can hardly play in the ground of the season. He stood on the defensive for the additional agreement with Peruza. After returning to Peruza, he actually failed to participate in all games for the season, as there was no team which could pay USD 3,100,000 for the registration transfer.
Accordingly, he is waiting for a result of an identity inquiry which was submitted to FIFA, and he will promote the transfer again for the Europe League of the next January.
Hong Myung-Bo who stepped for the transfer to MLS, is in difficulties as there are defects in an official document which Pohang team received from MLS. MLS repelled that the official document sent to the Pohang team said USD 1 for the registration transfer. This document disregarded the international custom. In terms of the transfer of Hong myung-Bo, Dick Hamilton, the owner of MLS LA Galaxies who will visit on August 26 will negotiate with the Pohang team on August 27.
