Former coach Cha said, “After finishing the Asian Cup, 23-year-old Lee Kang-in is receiving a lot of criticism from the world. I would have never dreamed that something that was insignificant in Spain or France would make Korean fans so angry.”
Former coach Cha said, “The generation receiving the award today may think that Asian-style humility and sacrifice, or the sense of responsibility as a Korean national team player, are old-fashioned and useless, and there may be more of them in the future.” “It is a weapon and asset that we naturally inherited,” he emphasized.

Former coach Cha said, “I did not actively think about and make efforts to educate people about the friction between generations who have experienced different cultures.
