0:00Scenes of players throwing boots and
0:01rumors of retirement were unimaginable
0:03back in the Park Ji-sung captaincy era .
0:05After the 0-0 draw against Venezuela ,
0:07Kim Min-jae threw his soccer cleats on
0:08the bench . He said he felt bad for the
0:10defenders and that he would have been
0:12upset even if they won 9-0 . The match
0:13right before that against Uruguay was a
0:15crushing 1-4 defeat . But the coach drew
0:16a line , claiming that according to the
0:18data , everyone worked hard . Kim Min-jae
0:20missed training for two days in a row
0:21and was left off the roster against
0:22Uzbekistan . There were even reports of
0:24the '96 - line holding meetings past
0:25midnight , sparking retirement rumors .

0:28and the coach only said internal
0:30matters should be handled internally .
0:31On the other hand , the national team
0:33during Park Ji-sung’s captaincy went
0:34to Japan , scored , and even took a
0:36victory walk . That same Park Ji-sung is
0:37now the head of the Football Innovation
0:38Committee . According to Kim Min-jae ,
0:40Park Ji-sung even visited them in
0:41person to listen to their opinions . But

0:48situation . If Park Ji-sung were still
0:50playing , there wouldn't even be time to
0:51throw any boots . H
