Japanese K-leaguer Amano and Korean coach confront, "Worst player who lied for money" VS "I still respect him, but ... there was no official offer"

The Japanese K-leaguers and the Korean coach were at odds, and the coach in particular criticized the players with a strong tone, saying, "The worst player who lied for money."

Ulsan's manager Hong Myung-bo (53) and Japanese player MF Amano Amano regarding the transfer from K League 1 (1st Division) Ulsan Hyundai to Jeonbuk Hyundai Jun (31) is in conflict.

Jeonbuk, who failed to win the league title for the sixth time in a row, and Ulsan, who won the league title for the first time in 17 years, have been selected as the opening cards for this season and are attracting a lot of attention from soccer fans. Because he criticized with strong words, this point also attracted a lot of attention.

Earlier, Ulsan's coach Hong said, "In the end, he transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai because of the money. The worst player of all time" he criticized Amano in public.

In response to this remark, Amano said, "I still respect Director Hong. That's why I was shocked by the remarks (Director Hong) that I learned through the media yesterday. I have been talking with Ulsan (since last summer), but I didn't feel sincerity. In fact, even after returning to the country after the season, there was no official offer."

Amano claimed that Hong's criticism was "born of a misunderstanding" and that there was no positive offer from Ulsan. After moving to Jeonbuk, Amano explained that Ulsan 'lately' took an interest in him.

Amano explained, "It is true that I was able to stay (in Ulsan) through my meeting with the coach." Amano also said, "We are preparing for the match against Ulsan with determination this season."
