If the '96 line' wanted to seize power, they should have won the South Africa match.

1. Myong-bo, take out Son Heung-min and Lee Jae-sung
2. Put the '96 line in the starting lineup
He did everything he could, didn't he?
If they had won, the coup would have succeeded, pushing out the '92 line and securing Hong Myung-bo's reappointment.
It makes no sense to fail the coup because they weren't good enough, and then play the victim in the media by crying and saying they're retiring.
