The "Bokkongsa syndrome" is not just Vietnam.

The endless "Bokseong syndrome" is not the only thing in Vietnam.

Park head coach Jin-seo (59) will face the 2018 Suzuki Cup of the Football Federation of Southeast Asia (AFF). Vietnam beat Cambodia 3-0 in the AFC Champions League final in Hanoi, Group A on Wednesday. The victory put Vietnam in the group stage with a total of 3 wins and one draw (10 points), which was confirmed to qualify for the semi-finals ahead of Malaysia (9 points). If you look closely at the score report, you will find that the content is even better. In the first round Laos (3-0 win) Malaysia (2-0 win) Myanmar (0-0) In the third round, Cambodia beat Vietnam 4-0 in the semi-finals. It is no exaggeration to say that, with the exception of Myanmar, who won the draw, they both won the match more than two goals, which allowed them to show the best of both sides.

In the semifinal of the first round, the morale of Vietnam, which reached the semi-finals with an undefeated score and without score, is at the height of the sky. It started with a nice win of the first stage of the group stage, and with the good atmosphere of the cognitive atmosphere, the team of Anthony Hei and the team, as well than the Vietnamese people, united in one accord. If this momentum continues, it seems that Park can win the Suzuki Cup for the first time in 10 years in Vietnam. Park, who emerged as a national hero with the nicknames "Rice Dink" and "Park", who won the U-23 Championship of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in Vietnam earlier this year, In the game, the Vietnam was placed in the semifinals, causing a "Bokwon syndrome".

Thanks to the new coach, Park, who will write a new Vietnamese football team, and to the football team that will win. With the Suzuki Cup being the biggest football competition for Southeast Asia, the interest of the Vietnamese for this competition is more alive than ever. The wall of the international scene where "the strongest of Asia" stood up even in the miraculous burst of "magic Bokhan Seo" was still high. It was at least a little bit before reaching the victory. But the situation is different if you face the same teams from Southeast Asia. The Suzuki Cup is the perfect opportunity for Vietnam to enjoy the joy of being at the top of the hierarchy for a long time.

It is the Vietnamese who know this fact better than anyone else. This is the last time Vietnam won the Suzuki Cup. After that, the Vietnamese who did not have the joy of winning for a long time waved the Hong Kong flag (Vietnam flag) and applauded them as soon as the national team of the national team confirmed its lead in the semifinals. Due to the exhausted tickets at the beginning of the stadium, the fans who watched the match from the outside without being able to enter the stadium became entwined. The youths traveled the city with a picture of Park, with the Venus flag on a motorbike representing a symbol of Vietnam, people who applauded in front of the big screen entitled "Long life". The "Bokbongsa syndrome" that continues since the beginning of this year continues to accompany an even greater confidence.

Vietnamese are not the only ones to be enthusiastic There is a country that is as enthusiastic about "Bokbongsa syndrome" as it is about Vietnam. It is Korea which is the motherland of Park.

The story of the Korean leader posing as Vietnamese football has brought public pride. Football fans were interested in the fact that the main character of "Vietnam Soccer Xinhua" had cooperated with Guus Hiddink as part of the "Myth of the Fourth World Cup 2002" organized by the Korea-Japan World Cup 2002. Park , who co-wrote the legend of the Korea-Japan 2002 World Cup semi-finals, organized by South Korea, flourished like football in South Korea 16 years ago, as did Vietnam. Whenever "Bokbongsa Syndrome" manifested itself, Park's popularity grew not only in Vietnam, but also in Korea, allowing SBS Sports to broadcast an unprecedented live broadcast of the Suzuki Cup. Korean broadcasters would not have been able to broadcast a football tournament in South-East Asia that the Korean national football team had not participated in, unless it was "Bokhan's Syndrome". Song. "

Thanks to Park, trade between the two countries has become more active. The Koreans mixed the jokes and said, "I have to go to Vietnam when Park is in charge of the national team." Indeed, the interest and benefits of Korea in Vietnam have increased sharply thanks to the "Bokbongsa syndrome". Indeed, in Vietnam, more and more tourists are looking for Korea, home of the park. During the Asian Games, Korean banknote search volume jumped 56 percent year-over-year, and Park Gyeong-gil, which was turned over to players for a month, is out of stock.

As such, the "Bokkongsa syndrome" appeared in both Korea and Vietnam. I hope Park's victory in Korea, reminiscent of the 2002 memories, of Korea deeply in love with Bakkongso Magic and all of Vietnam who wants to enjoy the best moment of its football history. Park, responsible for the encouragement and expectations, will go to the semi-finals on the 2nd and 6th of next month in the semifinal against Swedish manager Sven-Goran Eriksson in the final against the Philippines.
