coach Jong-hwan Park of Mexi High School's semifinalist legend passes away

 Former national soccer team coach Park Jong-hwan, who wrote the 'four-finals legend' at the 1983 World Youth Soccer Championship in Mexico, has passed away. He died at the age of 85.

The Korea Football Association announced on the 8th, “Elder Park Jong-hwan passed away on the afternoon of the 7th.” His funeral was set up at the funeral hall of Soonchunhyang University Hospital in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, and his funeral will be held on the morning of the 10th.


Former coach Jong-Hwan Park was born in Ongjin, Hwanghae Province in 1938, graduated from Chuncheon High School and Kyung Hee University, and played for the Korea Coal Corporation. After retiring as a player, he transformed into a leader and made a name for himself.


Former coach Park took charge of the U-20 youth national team from 1980 to 1983 and participated in the World Youth Championship twice.


In particular, in the 1983 Mexico tournament, it reached the semifinals of a FIFA tournament organized by the Federation of International Football Associations (FIFA) for the first time in Korean soccer history.


The national team led by former coach Park lost 0-2 to Scotland in the first game of the group stage, when 16 teams advanced to the finals, and then made a comeback by beating Mexico and Australia (2-1 wins) to advance to the quarterfinals. Korea, which advanced to the semifinals by beating South America's powerhouse Uruguay 2-1, lost 1-2 to the 'strongest' Brazil, featuring Dunga and Bebeto, on the way to the finals, ending its story.


Foreign media were impressed by the Korean national team's performance and described them as 'red devils', which became the origin of the 'Red Devils', supporters of the Korean national soccer team.


Former coach Park served as the head coach of the national team several times until the mid-1990s after reaching the semifinals, but resigned from the national team coach after losing 2-6 to Iran in the 1996 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Asian Cup.


In 1989, he took over as coach of the new professional team Ilhwa Chunma and caused a sensation in the K-League, winning the K-League championship for three consecutive years starting in 1993.


He served as the first president of the Korea Women's Football Federation, founded in 2001, and served as the coach of Daegu FC, founded in 2002, and Seongnam FC, which took its first step in 2013.

“Will there be a better pitcher than Peddie?”

 The 2nd round of the 2023 Shinhan Bank SOL KBO Post Season Playoff (PO) between NC and KT was held at KT Wiz Park in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do on the 31st. These are the words left by KT coach Lee Kang-cheol before the game. KT lost 5 to 9 to NC in the first game of PO the previous day (30th). The batting line was tightly tied by NC starter Eric Peddy's good pitching, and the mound was helpless, giving up 13 hits. In particular, Peddie's performance stood out. Peddie pitched well in 6 innings, allowing 3 hits, 12 strikeouts, and 1 run, and struck out 12, breaking the record for the most strikeouts in a single PO game. It was a skill that even his enemy, Coach Lee, had no choice but to acknowledge. Coach Lee said of Peddy ahead of Game 2, "The angle of his slider was at the edge of the strike zone, and his two-seam fastball was pushed in, making it difficult for batters to hit. He is a good pitcher. He was better than in the regular season, and I have to admit that." I stuck
