"Even ladies who don't know much about soccer will hold my hand and change it this time."' and talk about the change. You have to set it up as soon as possible."
Heo Jung-moo (70), former chairman of Hana Citizen in Daejeon, is a successful 'footballer'. He played for the prestigious PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands when he was an active player, and is a 'legend' of Korean soccer, which has played in 104 A matches alone. After his transformation as a leader, he made his first advance to the round of 16 at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. As an administrator, he has held important positions such as vice chairman of the Korea Football Association (KFA), vice president of the Korea Professional Football Association, and chairman of the Daejeon Hana Citizen..
After enjoying everything as a soccer player, he challenged the KFA president with the announcement that `the mother chicken pecked outside and the chick pecked inside and helped each other to wake up from the egg,' and the reason why he challenged the KFA president was 'responsibility'.

Chairman Huh, who recently met at his home in Seocho, Seoul, said, `I have received a lot of grace through soccer. If I hadn't played soccer, I would have caught fish or farmed in Jindo. The Jindo village man was loved so much that no matter what happens until the day he dies, there is something to pay back for soccer"When you climb the mountain, even those who don't know the words 'Congratulations' of soccer will say 'Please'." I want it to be ' rather than 'Why did you come out?' is encouraged. I don't like soccer being criticized. Managers who run it incorrectly should be scolded, and soccer itself should not be blamed. I just want to set it up as soon as possible for the future of Korean soccer.
Chairman Huh, who challenged Chairman Chung Mong-gyu, who is trying to serve in the fourth term, said 'Hitting a rock with an egg'. However, it is believed that 'rock' can be split with 'egg'. The cards he brings out are 'accompanied, fair, balanced, transparent, nurtured'. It also pledged the establishment of independent teams of 17 regional associations and overseas base projects.
Chairman Huh said "In large part, the operation of the association is administration and technology. It is necessary to ensure that professional personnel are properly put into the two fields. If this is stabilized, it can lead to welfare. I made a pledge in line with that"People around me point out the budget part, but the association has a basic sales framework. On top of that, you can expand marketing, sponsors, etc. In the case of independent clubs, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism-Sports Promotion Corporation budget distributed by the association goes directly to the local association and can be operated sufficiently if profits are increased by holding A-match local.
The most eye-catching was the revival of Paju NFC (National Training Center). Chairman Huh emphasized the two-track operation of the Cheonan Football Center and Paju NFC, which are currently being built. However, the Chungcheong Football Association and K-League clubs have issued a statement opposing the parallel operation of Paju NFC, leading to a great backlash. Chairman Huh said "It's a misunderstanding. If you look at the context, it's not going to be this crazy. What is already planned is never changed. However, it means that Paju NFC, which is still highly utilized and historically valuable, is a waste. If the rent is reduced through negotiations with Paju City, it can be a space for women's soccer or leader education. Main said, "Even after I become the chairman, I will be the Cheonan Football Center as it is."
Rather, he stressed that he is the right person to complete the construction of the Cheonan Football Center, not Chairman Chung. Chairman Huh said "As a result of the last specific audit by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, 5.6 billion won in subsidies could be recovered. If the sanction surcharge is added up to five times, it will be 28 billion won. The annual increase in support from the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism is decreasing, and the amount of loans that are currently suspended is enormous. If Chairman Chung turns his personal fortune, he will declare his support even today. "In the end, he has to consult with the government and talk with local governments, so can Chung, a chaebol, sell his products?" I'm available. He has achieved his own achievements, including the construction of Paju and Yongin soccer centers and sponsors of the Professional Football Federation. 'I'm going to end it because I did it?' I don't see it like that."
Like a former Gyeonggi player, Chairman Huh's most emphasis was also on fostering youth. He said "It is no exaggeration to say that Chairman Chung's term is 'lost 12 years' when it comes to Yousse. I didn't care about youth at all. It's just a word. Since there is no youth budget, only the competition is run with the support of the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism. "Does it make sense to operate the eight-person system on a one-trial basis?" he raised his voice. Then "The second Son Heung-min, Kim Min-jae. There is a future when Lee Kang-in comes out." The current system is vague. The Federation of Elementary and High Schools was eliminated and the association took it, but it is virtually nonexistent. Flowers can bloom in the sand, but it is the association's responsibility to create a good field. The stronger the youth, the stronger the national team will be."
Chairman Huh has complained several times that election management is being carried out unreasonably. He said "The word that comes to mind when you think of an election is fair, but if you look at the flowing form, I wonder "What kind of election can be like this?" Just by looking at the election process, I can see that the association is doing something wrong."Even the members of the Election Commission were not disclosed. The K-League, the center of the soccer world, requested online voting or early voting as it is a training period, but it remains silent. The electors were also reduced from 194 to 173. It is outdated to hold elections in this way." Eventually, Chairman Huh filed an injunction with the Seoul Central District Court on the 31st of last month to ban the election of the association's president.

The idea of completing the race was clear. Chairman Huh said, `I remain determined to fight until the end. I am not an elector. I'll go a long way for soccer. You have to set up the association right and leave it to the soccer players and the future, and that's the only thought." He was cautious about unifying himself with candidates for the election. He said "Unification is never bad. We must clear our minds. I have contacted them through third parties, but I haven't met them yet. I think it's good to unify, but mind is important. I'm willing to talk to you anytime. It's important when we have an unselfish connection with each other about soccer.
Chairman Huh, who claimed to be an "opposition party", is transformed into a "fighters". He said "Promise" was the most important thing when I was raising my children. A promise is a law. You must keep your promise"In order for soccer, the national sport, to become a more beloved sport, it should not be neglected like this. I hope that it will be set up quickly and go out as a sport where you can laugh and cry with the people. I promise you that I will not sell an eye for the future of soccer. I'd like to complain to you for a chance to work," he added.
