Chapter 453: The Emperor of Korean Football

Zheng Mengzhun. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The sixth son of Jung Joo-yong, the founder of South Korea's Hyundai Group, a member of the South Korean National Assembly, and the driving force behind the miracle of South Korea's fourth place in the 2002 World Cup.

His place in the history of Korean football cannot be overstated, and he came to Australia for two purposes.

The first is to cheer up the South Korean team, and the other is to be active in the AFC, as he is already preparing to run for the presidency of FIFA.

As soon as Zheng Mengzhun appeared, all the players were like soldiers, standing upright, and Stillik was a little embarrassed, what is this? The boss of a team should be the head coach, not the idler, etc.

But Stillik is not a fool either, he can only walk over and shake hands with Jung Mong-joon, and then Jung Mong-joon walks towards the player.

"I'm here to see you, you are the pride of the Republic of Korea."

Zheng Mengzhun was laughing, but no one else in the audience dared to laugh, and he continued: "You should all know me. ā€

Everyone laughs, knowing is knowing, but there is really a problem, that is, although Zheng Mengzhun has a big background, he is not the chairman of the Football Association now, so what should everyone call it?

Zheng Mengzhun walked towards Li Tingxie, "I know you, you are the young version of Li Dongguo." ā€

"Chairman."

Zheng Mengzhun waved his hand, "I don't work in the Korean Football Association for a long time, call me senior." ā€

"Yes, senior."

Then Zheng Mengzhun walked towards Ji Chengyong, "Are you okay in the UK?" ā€

"Very well, Senpai."

"Why are you doing this, you're not a soldier, so you don't have to be so serious."

After speaking, Zheng Mengzhun walked to Sun Xingmin, "You really look like Ban Ki-moon." ā€

"Hahaha," everyone couldn't help it at this time, this is a joke circulating on the Internet, saying that Sun Xingmin is the young version of Ban Ki-moon.

Sun Xingmin scratched his head: "Senior, we are not relatives, I asked my mother." ā€

The others were laughing quietly, and Zheng Mengzhun patted Sun Xingmin, "Maybe you can also enter politics in the future and become a FIFA president or something." ā€

Speaking of this, Zheng Mengzhun took a few steps back and said, "Boys, I want to tell you a secret, that is, I am ready to run for the next FIFA president. ā€

"Ahh

Everyone showed a look of surprise because the level of Asian football is limited, and it is difficult for an Asian to become the president of FIFA.

"We in the Republic of Korea already have a UN Secretary-General, which is our pride, and now I hope that we can also have a FIFA President."

Speaking of which, the player's heart is like a flame burning, burning, and that sense of pride arises spontaneously.

Successful politicians must be very eloquent, and Zheng Mengzhun is no different, and he began to talk endlessly.

"Do you know that the right to host the 2002 World Cup was originally hosted by the Japanese family, but how can we, the Republic of Korea, let the Japanese get their wish, if they host the World Cup and we don't, then can we in Korean football still hold our heads up in front of them in the future?"

"So I managed to get the chance to co-host the World Cup, and as you know, we finished fourth on home soil, and we were the only team in Asia to reach the semi-finals of the World Cup."

Zheng Mengzhun cast a sly gaze on the players, and he saw the change in the expressions on the players' faces, and a sense of confidence appeared on their faces.

Zheng Mengzhun did not mention the Chinese team once in the whole speech, but he used history to belittle the Chinese team and encourage South Korean players everywhere, this old guy is indeed a thief.

At this point, it was almost over, Zheng Mengzhun turned around and walked towards Stillik, "Uli, please forgive me for taking up your precious time, and now I will exchange the team for you." ā€

Stillik nodded, smiling more ugly than crying, if it was in Germany, in a place like the locker room, the president could not easily come in, let alone an idler, etc.

Just as Zheng Mengzhun was about to go out, he turned around and said again, "By the way, children, I forgot to tell you the good news, if you defeat the Chinese team, then your military service will be exempted." ā€

After saying that, Zheng Mengzhun left, the last sentence is an understatement, but in fact, the most important thing, for South Korean players, military service is a nightmare, and in South Korea, only Olympic medals or special contributions may be exempted from military service.

Many Korean male stars, no matter how popular they are, must serve in the military, and only they know the suffering.

Originally, South Korea was ready to exempt from military service as a reward for the Korean team to win the championship, but Zheng Mengzhun tried his best to disagree, he felt that the significance of this game was no less than the final, so it should be rewarded in advance.

In the end, the South Korean parliament agreed to Jung Mong-joon's proposal, which became the biggest incentive in the hearts of Korean players, who understood how much honor it meant, even more important than monetary rewards, especially players like Son Heung-min who played overseas, once he was exempted from military service, then he would have no worries.

*****

At the end of the player tunnel, the players of the two teams are lined up on both sides, not looking at each other, as if they have accumulated a lifetime of hatred, and at the front is the referee of the game, Asia's No. 1 golden whistle Ilmatov.

The AFC arranged for him to officiate this game, and the meaning is obvious, that is, this is the final that has come early.

Sun Xingmin lowered his head and was thinking about things, and suddenly felt that someone patted him, and when he looked up, it was Li Guo.

Sun Xingmin was a little embarrassed, he and Li Guo had both been in Germany, it stands to reason that it is nothing to say hello, this is also a common practice, but his teammates are all looking at him, he didn't dare to say hello to Li Guo, so he continued to bow his head.

Li Guo said in German: "If you are embarrassed to greet me, nod your head, and if you don't want to ignore me, shake your head." ā€

Sun Xingmin nodded.

Li Guo continued: "Hehe, then I know. At this time, Ji Chengyong in front of him glanced at Li Guo, maybe this is Li Guo's trick again, anyway, Li Guo can't give him face.

Li Guo didn't say anything, continued to walk forward, and said in English when he passed Ji Chengyong: "Don't look at me with that kind of look, I don't like it, and you don't deserve it." ā€

Ji Chengyong almost exploded in anger, and it was not easy to have a seizure, otherwise he would have been punished by the referee before he entered the field, which would not be a joke.

After finishing speaking, Li Guo walked forward triumphantly and exchanged a few polite words with Ilmatov, of course, to praise the other party.

Ilmatov also joked, "Li Guo, don't make trouble later." ā€

"Hehe, I definitely won't, I still have to give you face."

The referee smiled in his heart, but he understood that this game must not be easy, and these two teams are not fuel-efficient lamps in Asia. (To be continued.) )
