Ahn Jung-hwan had a feud with Hiddink

In 'Overindulgence Life History 2', which will be broadcast on the 25th, we will focus on the decisive choices that created the semifinals legend in 2002.

The golden generation of Son Heung-min, Hwang Hee-chan, and Kim Min-jae used to shine in Korean soccer, but currently, Korean soccer is in crisis. For the first time in 40 years, Korean soccer failed to advance to the finals of the Paris Olympics.

As soon as the news of coach Hong Myung-bo's nomination as the national team's head coach was announced, the leading players of the 2002 World Cup, Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo, and Ahn Jung-hwan, came forward and continued to express their opinions about 'the reason why Korean soccer is currently facing difficulties.'

At this point, we are curious about the ‘2002 World Cup semifinal myth’. Why is it difficult now and possible then? What was Coach Hiddink's strategy for winning the World Cup? We follow Coach Hiddink's decisive choice that surprised even world soccer greats beyond Korean soccer.

As a life teller, Lee Young-pyo appears, who threw a sharp ball against the current Korea National Football League, saying, “Soccer players should no longer disappear from administration.” Lee Young-pyo said that the difference between a great coach and an ordinary coach comes from OOO, and suggested the path that Korean soccer should take currently. And he plans to vividly convey the story of the day he risked his life during the 2002 World Cup, saying he could have died for Coach Hiddink.

On this day's broadcast, Coach Hiddink, who led the team to the semifinals of the 2002 World Cup, appeared in person and revealed without hesitation an anecdote about a war of nerves with the National Football League ahead of the 2002 World Cup, his first impressions of Korean soccer, and an episode about his conflict with player Ahn Jung-hwan. In addition, Ahn Jung-hwan, the protagonist of Italy's Golden Ball and Lord of the Rings, also appeared and gave his honest opinion based on his experience as a player about why a coach's capabilities are important, saying, "Without Coach Hiddink, there would have been no semifinals legend."

'Overindulgence in Life 2', which deals with the decisive choice that created the 2002 semifinal legend, will be broadcast at 9 PM on this day.
