No worries. All three spoke football fluently.

Evra now speaks english fluently and i suspect he had already learned at 2009. I guess Park could speak adequately as well. I am not sure about Tevez, but he had already played 2 years in West Ham before joining United, so it would make perfect sense for the three of them to communicate (just) fine in english! The trully bizzare friendship was that of Beckham with Roberto Carlos in Real Madrid, before Beckham had even learned spanish, as depicted in his documentary. That scene was hella funny!

Tevez can barely speak Spanish to this day. He is the Harry Kane of castellano pronunciation.

Park could speak English He wasn’t the most confident with it. I think he was just quiet with people he didn’t know. But he could speak English. I remember speaking to him briefly back in the day in Manchester.

That's hilarious. But Evra's a fun loving kind of guy. Makes sense, they just have to laugh and joke around

Real

​@@pawarabdul1103real

bro really ran until his knee said "we cant take it anymore" 3 times. Respectable, invaluable, and absolute class act. I will forever remember vidic and ferdie, the always dependent van der sar and a fiery and young de gea, the midfield engines of scholes, carrick, and fletcher, and van nistelrooy, rooney, chicharito, tevez, and the wonderkid himself, christiano. they brought christmas to me every matchday, and i will forever be grateful to them for it. we can kinda forget about patrice evra and post ronaldo/glazer manchester united tho

Park is Korea's greatest legend, but Son has many fans in Korea, so many people criticize him as trash. All his achievements are overshadowed by his son's goal tally. This isn't right. A player who contributed greatly to the success of the best club of his time is being imaged as if he just sat on the bench and did nothing. People who idolize Son act systematically and often commit terrorist attacks using SNS

Ji-Sung Park was the best player on the Korean national team, as evidenced by his match rating and four World Cup MOTMs. It's a shame that for all of this, he's being treated like complete trash and perceived as a worthless player, taking advantage of the fact that he hasn't been able to play much or score much due to his poor knee condition. In Korea, mention of Park's achievements is met with hysteria from SON fans, so I've rarely seen people talking about his greatness lately, so it's really nice to see him on a foreigner's KZfaq channel. Thank you very much

he pave the way and has his credit. but heung ming son is undeniably , and for a greater distance , the best asian soccer player ever .

lol you're so funny.. heung min who?@@hugovitor844

scoring goal and winning trophy are two diffrent thing but park did both😂😂😂

@@hugovitor844Park and Son doesn’t play soccer, they play FOOTBALL

​@@sabinshakya1537tell us, how many goals did park score in his professional football career?

yes, and that is so refreshingly drama free. Thinking about players like Sancho in comparison makes me want to puke

Facts!

Now you made United's midfielders cry again. Shame on you.

@@mudgatebronn4438 yes, player like Sancho would be calling out Fergie in public if he was left out of the teamsheet in a European final. players like Sancho is disgusting

At least they have Harry McGuire ;)

Agreed. He had high football intelligence and his movement and spatial awareness was great too. He would honestly walk into the current united side.

@@user-uc7gk4ch6s I'd really him over Sancho any day of the week

Like Müller then?

@@summonerbraddysg51 there are some similarities with muller indeed👍 Both are very intelligent off the ball and hardworking, although I'd say Muller was more dangerous in terms of goalscoring, better at getting into positions and a great finisher. Park was a better dribbler, quicker, low centre of gravity.

@summonerbraddysg51 they're similar but different. They both have amazing spatial awareness and footballing intelligence. They just work better in different parts of the field. Muller uses this to max capability as a forward while park uses it more in midfield. It's why muller will have more goals and assists with his awareness in attacking areas, but park would be much more involved in the buildup and provide much more defensively.

Please have a look at Bum Kun Cha. He was 'the' South Korean Exotic, like Yasuhiko Okudera, from Japan, start till Middle of the 80s here in the Bundesliga. He played for Frankfurt and Leverkusen. Hope I might not be wrong, but I think he was at least around 180 Games and 90 Goals. And before Erling Haaland? We had Joern Andersen. At least one time the golden boot in Germany till around the 90s. Later Manager. Wynton Rufer was New Zealand. Long time captain for Werder Bremen, still Nr 2 of the History Table all time behind Bayern here. Back then you were only allowed three Foreigners. So most times it would have been a boy from Europe. Seldom a complete Foreigner. It is like a rare treasure. Even 2 Wales boys ( Wayne and Dean Thomas), Scot ( Vincent Mennie), a Finn and a Islandic even a year at Bayern each ( Pasi Rautiainen and Asgeir Sigurvinsson). Sorry! Have a look in your preferred league! In England has been a Goalkeeper from Oman recently. He must have around 200 games in Prem or Championship to his Belt!

​@@horscanigunger5098 As a korean, i watched a lot on Cha Bum Kun. Yes, he is the first Korean superstar in the footballing world. However, he wasn't considered that much of a hero during his time as a player within korea like Park and Son were. He is now held in the same regard as those two but due to the political nature and mindset south korea had at the time, it meant that he wasn't considered to be the face of south korean football in korea. South korea were conservative and actually considered sending him to another country to play football as losing a national treasure and tried everything to not send him. This perception changed by the time it was park and when park joined man utd, he was considered a national hero for going there. Park was the face of south korean football, revered by the fans back in his homeland. Cha, whilst he did experience it to some degree, was not able to get this warm reception from korea at the time. Now, though, he is rightfully held in the high regard he deserves and in korea, people will ask "Cha, Park, Son?" and the question literally means "which of these three do you think is the greatest korean footballer of all time?"

@@user-uc7gk4ch6sthat’s because he took a long hiatus from the national team almost ten years and when he did play they struggled to get out of the groups that’s why he’s not celebrated as much compared to being in Germany.

Ahn Jung Hwan?

@limerickkurniawan8724 he was good but didn't reach the heights that cha bum kun, park ji sung, or son heung min reached. Cha bum kun is considered a bundesliga legend, park is a premier league legend and the most decorated asian footballer of all time and son is considered a world class forward and would have won many trophies had he not played for spurs. Imo, ahn had that potential but due to issues in his career had a possible good european career taken away from him.

At PSV he almost knocked AC Milan out of semi-finals in UCL. It could be one of the reasons Utd decided to sign him a year later

@@PRT976 that semi final against Milan Park scored was too an impressive performance which made Ferguson to ultimately decide bringing Park to United but Ferguson admitted in his book that he was confident even before this game when he actually went to check out Park in quarter finals against Lyon. This lad was an absolute machine! A true text book of how a professional footballer should be. Inspired so many.

Ji Sung the giant slayer

Messi was fantastic in that final and won man of the match. I love Park but he didn't contain anything. One of the most one sided finals of all time

​@@samuelloification2749it was one sided but park played well and did actually stop messi a few times. However of course prime messi was an alien and when he got that one chance he buried it from 30 yards out

@@samuelloification2749Barca only won 1-0 with a Messi header wym!? That game wasn’t one sided at all

@@danielcancel2901Ummmm, Barcelona won 3-1 over Manchester. It was not 1-0 bro.

@@danielcancel2901 your thinking about the 2009 final which they won 2-0 but in the 2011 final barca won 3-1 with messi scoring a outside of the box banger and absolutely bullied the man united defense

Sir Alex also said it was one of the biggest mistakes he made of his managerial career.

In 2011?

​@@hitmonchan52 he was starter but they still lose by the same team. I mean i can blame them since they faced prime Barca, one of the greatest team in football history. Plus they don't have Ronaldo anymore.

this is where the saying comes from... "offense wins games, defense wins championships"... when you have a player than can run all day, that's an advantage that can't be trained for.

He was way too into ronaldo to see what Park was capable of.

He wasn't a box to box midfielder😂 He was a winger. You obviously never watched him in your life.

​@@siberianTiger639 He was actually a central midfielder but Hiddink was the first one who started using him as a winger, which is why he had good tackling and defensive awareness for a winger. Heard this recently in an interview with his Japanese teammates back in the day, and they said he started really performing well after that.

with just one of his lungs - too easy

He would be noticed even more in todays game, with the modern pressing football. He is every managers dream player

@@thefreed first time I'm hearing that. He was a winger every time I watched him both at PSV and United. Literally never seen him playing centrally for one time. Of course sometimes he would mark opponent central midfielders defensively, but going forward he was a winger. Although I could definitely imagine him in central areas looking at his technical quality, being good in tigjt spaces, good passing and link up, general intelligence.

Except against arsenal. Park always loved a game against arsenal

@@user-uc7gk4ch6s This is when we can see the red devil appear on the field. hhaha

​@@user-uc7gk4ch6scouldn't resist them gunnerss

me too

There's a reason why his biggest controversies during his career were poor performances, lack of game time, and not being selected for a champions league final game. In fact, his only non-football related "scandal" i have ever hewrd about was a dating "scandal" with the woman who is his wife now. He's my favourite player of all time and i'm a korean too so coming across his news was not hard at all

Tbf if he wasn't injured that much he would of been an ICON

​@@joela8979still deserves that Icon card

tbf, changing to an extremely high nutrition diet from your typical 80s Korea diet will definitely increase your weight, and probably your height. I don't know why that would be controversial

I don't think you can grow 7 centimeters on Courage and Hope.

Short term Carnivore diets can actually be insanely beneficial. Absolutely the carnivore diet that he was put on did some amazing things for him, and guaranteed contributed to his height gain. Dad is definitely GOATed.

Men can certainly be late bloomers, especially if you were overworked physically and not getting enough protein. Not getting picked meant he'd have trained a lot less and getting plenty of meat plus could totally made him catch up on his height. That happens to even female high performance gymnasts and men already stop growing later than girls.

Unsung Ji Sung

Kante? That's all I can think of. (oddly kante earned his diploma in accounting, lol. Finance makes hard working ballers)

top comment

To be fair, it takes a lot less energy to be chased than it does to chase someone. That being said, I do agree.

man talking like a typical pundit with no ball knowledge, messi walks around when they dont have the ball, he does zero defense. defending is 10x more tiring than attacking. this is the dumbest analogy ive seen in a while.

Don’t forget about Lee in PSG. He has massive talent.

Hee-Chan is such a promising star as well

@@JC-rv4rshes not world class imo

@@ahhhhhhandersson81 why? I don’t see any reason why not

@simplified4443. Thomas Muller also one of crucial player neither at Bayern Munich and National team Germany 💯✅

Thomas will get enough Videos when he ended his career, believe me! I grew up in his Region for a few years. There will be coming enough - later. If he contents. Schwarzenbeck wanted to stay private. Beckenbauer loved the attention. Breitner speaks, if he feels, something is wrong. That's the 'spirit' of the older Oberbayern Bayern. Wenn I mog - mog I. Wenn I ned mog, dann mog I ned! ( Bavarian)

thanks man!

Hope you become like him🙏

that is why Sir Alex said this is one of the biggest mistakes in his managerial career

맞아요 결승 경기에서 전 경기에서 메시에게 맨 마킹 시킬때 결과가 좋았던걸로 알고 있어요 이겼는지는 기억나지 않지만 하지만 결승전 경기에서는 맨마킹을 지시하지 않아서 퍼거슨이 실수라고 하고 편지도 써주며 사연이 많았습니다. 한국인이라 이것저것 싹 다 뒤져보았습니다.

@@user-ym6fq8zw7s I don't speak Korean

Yeah but theyre in a position where its more expected. Not many attacking players back then ran their socks off for the team

Yeah but Park was a lot ahead of them in tecnique,passing,shooting and could play on every positions except CF and CB.He was one of the most versatile player ever.

Don't forget that Utd team contained Tevez and Rooney. Huge amounts of running and pressing.

@@hughtube5154 Indeed. But neither of those would also man mark the opponents DLP when required (not unusual for Ferguson to try and take out players like Vieira, Pirlo and Busquets)

youre welcome man, thanks for watching.

8강인가 가고 그 다음 한국인 이영표 박지성 선수가 다른 팀으로 이적 간걸로 기억합니다.

@@user-ym6fq8zw7s yeah they moved to another team but it was nice seeing Farfan and Park Ji-sung playing together :) Big fan of both players :)

He would have been held in much higher regard in the modern day. With the need for stamina being really huge, he would have stood out and, like kante, would have been a much more recognised player rather than an unsung hero.

@@user-uc7gk4ch6s you both are so right about this!

스트라이커 윙어 미드 필더 다 해보고 스트라이커 ,윙어를 주로 했었고 맨유 들어가면서 뛰어난 공격수가 많아서 미드 필더로서 활약이 두드러진것 입니다. 하지만 본인이 평균 경기 15km를 뛰면서 모든 포지션을 다 볼수 있었고요 골키퍼도 잘하더라고요.
