00:00Frustration and anger boil over at a post-match press conference.
00:05The head of Taiwan's national soccer team announces his sudden resignation.
00:30This comes after his team lost 1-6 to Thailand at a qualifier match in Taipei.
00:41Huang says football isn't a respected sport in Taiwan.
00:45His players say they agree and that the lack of resources amounts to bullying.
00:50A sports commentator pointed out that during a match in Thailand on October 9th, the Taiwan
00:56team was put up in subpar hotels, with no training rooms.
01:00They were forced to check out early and afterwards only had three bathrooms for the entire team.
01:06When the match-up shifted to Taipei on the 14th, the Taiwan team's practice field was of poor
01:11quality and players' jerseys didn't even have names.
01:15If you want to say that if you want to kill Taiwan, we can still use what to prove that
01:20we're doing.
01:21Taiwan's newly appointed sports minister Li Yang pledges change, and says he's asked
01:36the country's football association to submit a report within three days to evaluate its
01:41shortcomings.
01:43This is an early test for Li, who became Taiwan's first ever sports minister only last month.
01:50Can he find a way to elevate support for football so players and coaches don't feel like they're
01:54being shortchanged?
