[LEGEND EP. 14-2]”MASTER IN HOUSE” Vietnamese Hero, Park Hang Seo Interview(ENG sub)
It's my biggest treasure. It's the medal I got
from the Vietnamese government. It's the official third-class
labor medal. It's the official third-class
labor medal. An official from
the football federation told me… that it was the highest
honor I could receive. Is it the highest honor? (It's the best gift
for the national hero.) It's more meaningful because
I got it in Vietnam. – Right.
– Of course. I heard you are more loved
by the Vietnamese people… than Guus Hiddink was loved
by Koreans… during 2002 World Cup. When I arrived in Hanoi, I was so welcomed that
cars couldn't move. I was so well received.
That really surprised me. But I am a little scared now. – You're scared?
– From now on… I got scared… because of all the pressure. – Their expectation is too high.
– Their expectation is high. And my contract isn't ending
any time soon. – When does it end?
– That's very realistic. When does your contract end? – It ends end of last year.
– End of last year. I got worried about
how I should lead this team… and how to make the team
measure up… to the nation's expectation. That thought suddenly hit me. Then you must have not been
able to enjoy the fame. So many people love you. I saw the car parade video. He really enjoyed it. It was almost like being at a club.
You can't help it in that moment. He really enjoyed the party. (That day was something.) (Hang Seo) (Korean Hiddink) (It's Hang Seo magic.) (Everybody scream.) I feel really happy. This is amazing. I enjoyed it until then. Our team played in China this time, and they played
three extended games. The result wasn't that great,
but they did their best. And I praise them… for their spirit of never giving up. Actually, we were asked about… the famous line you said. Something that started with "don't". Is "Don't give up"… what you said? (Is it "Don't give up"?) (Is that the line…) (that touched the Vietnamese
people's hearts?) "Don't lower your head." (It was "Don't lower your head.") – "Don't lower your head."
– "Don't lower your head." I will tell you why I said it. We went to Shanghai on January 1. Shanghai was very cold then.
Our players are not used to
the cold weather. – There are 23 players.
– Okay. And only two of them
had seen snow. – In their whole life?
– They are… not the players who had played
on snow. – Only two people had seen snow.
– Two people had seen snow. It was the 1st winter experience
for 21 of them. (Can that be true?) During the game,
it didn't just snow. There was a snow storm. When they were shooting free kicks,
they had to kick snow. The game got extended,
and they did well for 119 minutes. – Right.
– They did well. The other team scored
at the very last minute.
– Right.
– And we lost. (They lost because
of the last 1 minute.) I felt so disappointed. The players felt it too.
They really did their best, – That would be disappointing.
– and they made it to the finals. When we came back
to the locker room, the players looked so sad. They did really well. So I hated seeing them
with their heads lowered. As their coach,
I didn't want people to see that. So I told the players… not to lower their head. I told them that
they did everything they could. We got the second place, so I told them they had
the right to be proud. You did your best. So you should be proud of yourself. Do not lower your head. You have the right to be happy. (We are the legend
of Vietnamese soccer.) (They speak different language,) (but his sincere feelings…) (touched them.) That must've made
the players really emotional. I can tell that you really… – love your players.
– And… "Don't lower your head" is… the words of comfort.
They are a team, but I think they must've
felt like a family… when he told them not to
lower their head. Sometimes, the players… – call me "Daddy".
– "Daddy". What's "daddy" in Vietnamese? – "Papa".
– "Papa". I told them
that they are all my sons. That's why we are so close. (We want to call you "papa" too.) We have to stay together
for a night and two days. – The four of you are same to me.
– Right. When I am with a team,
I never use the word "I". One of my favorite word… – is "us".
– "Us". Instead of putting yourself first, you have to put "us" first. It's the same for you. Your popularity doesn't matter.
Your height doesn't matter. You are a team. – You have to follow the rules.
– Right. As long as you follow the rules,
you won't get into any trouble. (As a team, we have to follow
the given rules.) (What are…) (those rules?) (Master takes out…) (mysterious papers.) (Are the rules written there?) This lists… This lists all the rules. – Did you write them all down?
– This is… I will read some of them. You must be punctual. "Player Management Rules". Don't take a video of this. (It's a confidential information.) – It must be confidential.
– There are several rules like this. You are… not allowed to use your cell phone. (He doesn't allow
players to use the cell phone.) I don't allow them to use
the cell phone. It's okay when you're on break.
But never when you eat. Other staffs can't use it either.
Neither can I. (He is no exception.) Without the phone, you have to stare
at each other's face. – That brings them closer.
– You become closer.
– And the team becomes tighter.
– The team becomes tighter. That's why sometimes… I sit at a place… where I can see everyone. I observe them and see
if they are eating well. I see if they have problems. I usually observe them
when they are eating. You can tell many things
by just looking at someone's face. I think that's really good. People
are always on their cell phone. When you have your phone,
you can't talk to people. Honestly, you are always
on your phone. Me? No. – You're always on your phone.
– I am rarely on my phone. – What do you mean?
– I rarely use my phone. You always search
your name on search engines. I saw you doing it so many times. Is it not allowed to search
about yourself? Am I not allowed? – Of course you are not allowed.
– You are not allowed. You can't use your phone
while you eat. Okay. (You can't use your cell phone
during meal time.).
