    ‘Giant center’ Park Jin-ah fights 1-on-5, Park Ji-soo’s ‘value’ shines through in blocking [Women’s basketball Ahn Deok-soo’s observation].

    Before the game against North Korea, I was most curious about Park Jin-ah (20), a 6-foot-5 center. She had scored 51 points in the previous game against Chinese Taipei, so I was both curious and excited. In reality, she was even better than I thought. The last game can be summarized as a five-on-five battle between Park and the Korean team. Their pace was very good, especially from the first quarter. On the other hand, our players were a little frustrated at the beginning. We started well. Park Ji-soo (Cheongju KB) put in a good pass to make it 2-0. But after that, we didn’t score much. Of course, we…

    Prevention is almost impossible… Back-door contracts must be severely punished and new player contracts must be transparently disclosed [Soccer version of Black Connection]

    Scouting-related kickbacks are nearly impossible to prevent. This is because it is a moral issue between players (parents), agents, and clubs. There is no way to prevent illegal side contracts. It is not easy for the Korea Football Association and the Professional Football League to have the authority to manage and supervise agent fees. The International Football Association Federation (FIFA) also tried to prevent bribery transactions by introducing a clearing system, but the effect was minimal. In the end, a realistic alternative is to greatly strengthen ex post punishment rather than prevention. ■ Significantly increase the level of punishment for side contracts: Associations and federations do not recognize side contracts. If the secret contract is discovered,…
