Son of Yeongdeok' Former Indonesian national soccer team coach Shin Tae-yong visited his hometown Yeongdeok, which was affected by forest fires, and donated 50 million won to recover from the damage.
Coach Shin visited Yeongdeok County Office in North Gyeongsang Province shortly after returning home after cheering for the Indonesian national team's World Cup qualifying match in Jakarta, Indonesia on the 30th.
Head coach Shin Tae-yong has called himself the `Son of Yeongdeok'. Older mothers and relatives are still staying in Yeongdeok. In July last year, when the Changpo Sunrise Football Stadium in Yeongdeok-gun, Gyeongsangbuk-do reopened under the new name 「Shin Tae-yong Football Park」, he took his mother on the stage and grew up with great difficulty. My mother suffered too much. I'm glad that you've been praying behind me so far. Whenever I come to Korea, I always visit Yeongdeok. Yeongdeok is the hometown that I always have in my heart." Forty years ago in Yeongdeok, a soccer player, a coach, and a soccer player representing Korea have never forgotten their hometown, although they have run forward as a soccer dream. On this day, he donated 20 million won from the site for his hometown of Yeongdeok-gun. Coach Shin said "The soccer players saw me and said I was brave in the stream. He came out of Yeonghae Elementary School, Ganggu Elementary School, Yeonghae Middle School, and Ganggu Middle School. I always had a big dream. I will continue to do my best to promote Korea and national prestige. He also said his dream is that Shin Tae-yong Football Park will make Yeongdeok a mecca for soccer training while creating a better environment and infrastructure to contribute to the development of youth soccer and Korean soccer.
Coach Shin also contributed to the development of Yeongdeok soccer by enhancing the skills of the players through off-season training in his hometown of Yeongdeok during the head coach of the Indonesian national team. He was devastated to see his hometown engulfed in flames after a long time. "As soon as I came in from Jakarta, I ran to Yeongdeok, and it was completely devastated." Director Shin donated money to express his condolences to the victims after hearing the news of the large-scale forest fire damage in Yeongdeok, his hometown. We hope that the restoration will be completed as soon as possible and that the residents and victims of his hometown will not lose hope and recover their daily lives," he said.
Meanwhile, coach Shin moved to Asan after visiting his hometown and intuitively cheered for Seongnam FC's away match (1-1 draw) in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, which was started by his eldest son Shin Jae-won. He also feels the same way toward the K-League and Seongnam.
