Jeonbuk Hyundai Advisor Park Ji-sung, who is taking his first steps in the K-League, held a press conference at Hyundai Motor Studio Goyang, Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 21st, and revealed his future aspirations. He expressed his determination that “I will share all of my knowledge and experience with Jeonbuk.”
Commissioner Park said, “After retiring as a player, I studied a lot about administration, but I am happy to be able to start as an administrator in the K-League. In particular, I am happy and excited to be working in Jeonbuk Hyundai, which has achieved the best grades in the K-League and won many championships. He said, “I will share my everything with the club.”
Previously, Jeonbuk announced on the 19th that “Member Park Ji-sung will serve as an advisor for the overall management of the club, such as selecting, fostering and scouting players, and presenting a training system for professional and youth players.” We plan to help in various fields without being bound by a special frame. That doesn’t mean I’m doing this and that. The location of the’banging point’ taken by yourself is accurate.
“My football philosophy doesn’t matter because I’m not a manager. First, I have to research and find out how the club operates and what kind of football fans want. The club reflects the color of the region, and the identity emerges from the built-up history. The identity of the club.

The biggest focus is how to raise the players. No matter how much in the youth competition, Even if you get good results, it doesn’t guarantee your performance in the pro. It’s important how many players can be sent to the first team, leaving the youth competition performance. We will incorporate the European system,” he explained.

After retirement, whenever there is an opportunity, Park Ji-sung has raised his voice that investment in youth is greatly increased for the development of Korean football, and to do so, it is necessary to quickly introduce advanced systems. It was the same on this day.
Park Ji-sung said, “I went to Manchester United as well as Ajax and Eindhoven. I think the place is also a youth,” he stressed.
“Jeonbuk is a team that invests most actively in the K-League. So, I think good results are possible. But now, I want to become a real leading club, not just the best performance.” “If you start in Jeonbuk, other teams will follow. I hope that Jeonbuk will lead the K-League in the lead,” he said, saying that other teams should also increase their interest in the youth system.
At this meeting, Ji-Sung Park also conveyed that she is currently taking a course as a leader. Since last summer, I started the instructor course in the UK, but because of Corona 19, I had only completed online classes, so I could not come to Korea right away. In relation to this, a question was asked whether the leader was also in mind in the future, and he cut off, saying, “I am not at least a professional team manager.” Points for taking instructor classes were also irrelevant to youth.
First of all, Ji-sung Park introduced a broad perspective, saying, “I want to know what process former soccer players transform into leaders and what process they go through. Knowing that will be helpful when interacting with leaders from the standpoint of an administrator.” did.
“If I feel that I don’t think I’m an administrator, I’m interested in teaching children. So I’m going to take a B-level course. I don’t have any intention of getting a P-level (who can become a professional team manager).” He revealed his special attitude toward youth.
If you look right in front of you, there are definitely limits. It is the answer that everyone knows that if you look away you can achieve ultimate development. Park Ji-sung, who took the opportunity to contribute to Korean football for the first time after retirement, was also a youth.
Park Ji-sung promised, “I will try to become a team where many clubs can see and learn Jeonbuk Hyundai.” As he said, it is not necessarily Jeonbuk’s benefit if a model that other K-League teams can see and follow is drawn.
