This is the words of Park Kyu-sun, coach of Hannam University, who won the first and second-year college football league for the first four years in a row.
Hannam University won 1-0 in the final of the 20th College Football Federation match against Honam University at Hapcheon Public Stadium in Hapcheon, South Gyeongsang Province, on Aug. 30. Hannam University has exercised its power to protect the throne of the tournament for four consecutive years since 2022.
After winning the championship, coach Park said "It felt quite long until winning the championship. There are a lot of talented players. I blamed myself a lot for the lack of capability of the coach to not be able to bring results when there are such good players." Hannam University won the championship just one year after the 60th Autumn University Football Federation match in August last year. In January, he was eliminated from the quarterfinals at the 21st 1st and 2nd year college football tournament. In the 61st Spring University Football Federation match in February, he fell in the group stage. In July, he bowed his head in the round of 16 at the 61st Autumn University Football Federation match.
Coach Park said, `I was so disappointed that the players did well in the January, February and July competitions, but they couldn't bring the results. I blamed myself a lot because I thought it was my lack of ability to take such good players and not perform well. I think I was in a hurry to prepare and play this tournament."
This tournament was never easy, either. Hannam University started the race in Group 6. He caught Daekyung University (4:0) and Yewon University of the Arts (4:1) in a row, but was shocked by Jeju Tourism University (1:4). qualified for the tournament in second place in the group. Coach Park told the players "Let's go with a stone bridge " (before the Jeju Tourism Competition. But that's what happened. That's how football is. However, in other words, I think it has been a blessing in disguise for us." Hannam University defeated Catholic Kwandong University (2-0), Chung-Ang University (2-1), and Hanra University (2-1) to advance to the final. He led the game against Honam University, but the score was not easy. In the extra time of the second half, he won with Cho Woo-ryeong's dramatic winning goal.
It is true that coach Park longed for " (winning the championship). We haven't won since August last year. I was impatient at the competitions in January, February and July. He continued to emphasize to the players that we didn't fall because of our lack of skills. He continued to train his confidence, scoring ability, etc. When the tournament came out, the score didn't go well. I think I was in a hurry"There are four U-League games left this season. There is a national sports competition. I think it is possible to advance to the King of Kings. You have to be greedy again. After four consecutive wins, I will try to win four gold medals once more." Hannam University won four gold medals in 2023. Coach Park once again called for a challenge to win four gold medals.
