Oh! My captain JI-SUNG PARK

                                                   My captain Ji-sung Park

 He has quitted the Captain and Korean National Football Team. He is symbol of Korean football and our hero.

 His name is Ji-sung Park who is Manchester United football player. He is the only South Korean player to have won the UEFA Champions League and the first Asian to have played in the final match. Even though he has had a fantastic career, he had pygmyish physique when he was young.
 He started football in his fourth year of elementary school. At that time he had talent but he was too small and slim. When he was in high school, he was still small and slim. So his father fed him lots of healthy food.

 After graduation, he tried to go to University or a professional club but he was rejected because of his physique. However, his high school coach strongly recommended him to Myung-ji University coach. So he could play fooball again.

 In January of 1999, his University team had a chance to practise in a game with South Korean Olympic Team. He played very well. For this reason, he was selected by Jung-moo Huh who was the manager of the South Korean Olympic Team. It was unexpected for everyone because if he were to be selected, he would probably have selected for under-20 team instead of the under-23 team which is the Olympic Team.
 Anyway after Olympic games finished, he was recruited to a club in Japan called 'Kyoto Purple Sanga'

 In June of 2000, Park signed with them. He was a diligent and dedicated player and led them to win in the Emperor's Cup. It was the first win in the Kyoto's history. This was Park's last game in Kyoto.
 In January of 2003, he left Kyoto because Guus Hiddink who was the manager of South Korean World Cup Team invited him to PSV Eindhoven. After the 2002 World Cup, he went to Eindhoven. In those days, he went through hard time. He struggled with injuries. Furthermore, PSV's fans blamed him for his playing so he lost his pride. But soon he revealed his ability and scored a goal at the Semi-final of the UEFA Champions League against AC Milan.

Impressed, Sir Alex Ferguson who is the manager of Manchester United invited him to United.

 Nowdays he is a very influential person in Korea. He participated the World Cup three times and has been playing in the Asain Cup as a captain. He is an idol of young Korean football players and Asian football players as well. He is loved by every Korean person. He is always the centre of media.

 This hero has quitted the Captain and the Korean National Football Team. It is sad because we can't see him in A match games anymore. But we want to see that he plays in Man U for a long time.

  He will be remembered forever in our heart as a Captain
