On May 31, 1996, it was decided that the Korea-Japan World Cup would be held.
Until just before the tournament, the public and media's gaze toward the South Korean national team and manager Guus Hiddink was very cold.
After successive heavy defeats in evaluation matches against strong teams, such as the 2001 Confederations Cup match against France (0-5) and the Czech Republic (0-5), public opinion boiled over, demanding Hiddink's dismissal and giving him the humiliating nickname 'Oh-dae-young,' meaning he loses 5-0.
And on December 1, 2001, the groups for the Korea-Japan World Cup were decided.
South Korea is in Group D. Match 1: Poland vs South Korea Match 2: USA vs South Korea Match 3: Portugal vs South Korea It was decided as the so-called 'Group of Death.' The next day, manager Guus Hiddink watches the players training from outside the pitch.
He stands outside the training ground with his hands behind his back, watching the field.
