- Just How Good Was Ji-Sung Park?
Sir Alex Ferguson regards Park as one of the most underrated players he ever managed. The South Korean was part of Man United's Great Teams of the late 2000s as well as PSV's Golden Sides earlier in the decade.

Legend says Park Ji Sung is still occasionally seen man-marking Pirlo
Credible sources have confirmed this ✔️
😂😂😂
😂😂
😅😅😅😅
Ji Sung Park's discovery is crazier than summarized in the video. He was a good player since elementary school to high school. However, he wasn't THAT good. After graduating high school, he tried out for various K-League teams but no teams wanted him. Back then in Korea, most typical way into pro was by first going to university and performing well in the university football league. However, Park Ji Sung spent all his time trying out for professional teams after graduating high school and missed the timing for applying for any university. Basically, he had no where to go. He didn't pass any professional team's test and it was too late for him to apply to any university. He eventually found a university, Myeongji University, where the head coach of the football team really wanted him. But they already filled up the quota for that year and couldn't accept any additional student to play football. So the head coach "borrowed" 1 spot from the school's tennis team to get Ji Sung accepted to the university. So technically, Ji Sung would not have been able to play for Myeongji University if it wasn't for their tennis team that was gracious enough to give up 1 spot to the football team. But Ji Sung still was far from even dreaming about going professional. Myeongji University's football team was never a good team and Ji Sung himself never won anything with them. But one day, South Korea's Olympic U-23 national team was playing Myeongji University's football team as warm up game before the Olympic. This is where legend was made. Ji Sung Park came out of nowhere and started dribbling past everyone. He would run past entire midfield and defensive line and score like a boss. Up until then, no one knew who he was and the Olympic team coach wasn't there to add any more new players to his squad. But when he saw Ji Sung Park that day, he just had to have him in his squad. After the match, Ji Sung got a phone call from the head coach of the Olympic team. When he was asked to join training session for the national team, Ji Sung didn't know he was being asked to join the Olympic team. He was just happy. So the Olympic team coach asked Ji Sung "Do you even know which team I am talking about? I am asking you to join the Olympic team."
But even after the Olympic, Ji Sung Park wasn't exactly known and he was just another football player. J-League(Japan) was and still is a level below K-League(Korea) and Ji Sung Park going to J-League was hardly a news worthy. It's like if Burnely FC's youth player made it into Hannover96 or something like that. That's why it was controversial when Guus Hiddink called him up for the 2002 World Cup team. Ji Sung Park was never A-match National team worthy. There were many others that frequented the National team and performing better in other club teams. But Ji Sung didn't disappoint Hiddink. Ji Sung scored a game tie goal against England and another goal against France next game before the World Cup. This silenced everyone that was complaining about Hiddink's decision to play a "nobody."
In summary, most people in his situation probably played football till high school and became a PE teacher or something. Everything was against him becoming a professional footballer let alone a Manchester United legend. As much as his hardwork ethic should be appreciated, we cannot ignore all the important coaches and managers in his life that saw the potential in him.
I'm signing you to be a writer for the channel 😂 Where do I send the contract?
Dude.... J League is 1 level above K League at that moment. At the very least they are equal.
@@fachriranu1041 nope. Not by club rankings or performance in AFC champions league nor league rank. Only thing Japan was better was some of its teams paying higher wage. J-league teama won AFC title like 4 times by then and K-league had and still has most AFC titles (8 then and 12 now).
And 2002 was when K-League Suwon Samsung and FC Seoul (both rejected Ji Sung) won AFC. Only thing was that J-League had more teams in their league then.
@@fachriranu1041 and especially 2002 was when 2 Korean clubs played in the final. 2001 was when K league Suwon Samsung beat J league Jubilo Iwata in the final.
@@pleasetredonme okay i stand corrected. Thanks for the reply.
Andrea Pirlo sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night, cold sweat on his chest and forehead. He looks around nervously, and there, in the dark corner of his room, a silhouette watches him. It must be Park, silently watching him. But when Pirlo turns on the light, there is nothing. "STOP HAUTING ME" Pirlo screams but there is no answer, no sounds but his own. But when he turns off the light and lays on his side, he feels it, the breath on his neck.
Sounds like the perfect Horror Film Script 😂
😊☺😆😆😆😆😆😆one of the best comments I have read in ma life
Dude 🤣🤣🤣🤣👌🏻
One of the great Manchester United players of the modern era. My goodness, would he do a job for us today! Imagine us now with that monster in our squad?
Just infront of Casemiro in Midfield 👀 You'd win everything.
I miss this guy so much so underated
If anything Park was over rated. he was a bit part player for all his time at United apart from his 1st and 4th season where he played 45 and 40 games in those 2 seasons. his other 5 season at the club were nothing but mediocrity and spending most of the time not involved on the bench
No coach wants these kind of players especially as a winger or attacker in general. They want a dancing queen like Sancho and Antony. Modern coach seems doesn't understand to utilize players like Park and Dirk Kuyt. They might just turn them into a DM, sad.
He's the type of player we want
He was a utility player… utility players nowadays aren’t usually seen as anything above average.. they’re just people who can do everything relatively well but Ji Sung Park was a level above that… he did everything exceptionally well… not world class but his consistency was crazy.
Couldn't agree more 🙏
Not saying he's of Park's level, but James Milner reminds me of this 'style' of player. He can do everything and helped teams win everything.
Park Three Lungs!
I do believe his tenacity diligence was a cut above most world class players and that's what elevated his ability to match and outperform anyone you need him too on the day. Marking pirlo into the shadow realm and giving messi trouble the way he did considering how small park is very very difficult.
He was nothing less than WORLD CLASS. He does way more than people gives him credit for.
Ji Sung for £4m is the biggest bargain ManU ever scored
Love this video, as a Utd fan who grew up watching in the 2000s he is a true legend to me ❤
Glad you enjoyed it! True Legend.
Great video finally covering one of the most committed players I've ever seen. Cheers for posting it mate
Thankyou For Watching 🙏🙏
In fairness, mention Park ro any Man Utd fan and they will tell you how great he was. So he is recognised as that. Also Park is an Ambassador for United, so the club had recognised him too.
He is definitely recognized by the club and his country. But in terms of the wider Football Community I'm not so sure 👀
@@footballreminisce Yeah, I see your point.
I grew up watching him, and all i can remember is how much he was loved at utd. Not many people can mark pirlo and messi.
I think he left the role.
What an Amazing video,thanks for the detailed information 👏
Appreciate this 🙏 Thankyou for watching.
Great video. Its criminal you only have a few hundred subscribers!
Thankyou man 🙏 Appreciate the kind words. Also Wayne is the best rapper ever!
Another great video from you. Cheers. I just added a sub from my primary account and will comment from here...
I always marveled at his capacity to just-play-football as he really could play anywhere on the pitch and be successful. When healthy his work rate, defensive capabilities, and lack of selfishness meant that he was often tasked with tracking back rather than pushing forward to make goals/assists, but he skill here is also under appreciated. He must have been a managers dream in that he could really play anywhere, and you knew he wasn't going to get tired or slouch on defensive duties while also giving the team the capacity to sub one of his mates and have the option to move Park to the subbed role or keep him as-is. Likewise, he could help push to score when needed but excelled at defense to defend a lead.
Appreciate the kind words 🙏 Most of the Managers he played under share the same opinion. A Coach's Dream!
Park was the beginning of the modern pressing midfielder/forward. So many times he would close down a defender and win the ball off them. He inspired James Milner, Kante & Arturo Vidal.
A True Legend! 🔥
Loved watching him play so reliable and pulls a goal when you least expect it
Very reliable 🔥 Especially in the Big Games.
big respect to you from Poland bro
Thankyou 🙏 Big up 🇵🇱
Sir Alex Ferguson once said one of the only regrets he ever had was in the 2011 UCL final against Barcelona. He said that if he had played Ji Sung Park against Messi, they would have probably won the game.
Correct ✔️ Huge Statement!
I dont think so, prime Barcelona was invincible...
@@_McCormickProductionsso u know more about the sport and that specific game than Sir Alex Ferguson?🤔
One of my all time United favourite.
Top Player 🔥
Put some respect on his name. A player like him are what United have been missing lately
True ✔️ He would literally be the Difference!
What a player..👏👏👏
🔥🔥🔥
imagine him and kante in the midfield, ultimate defensive lockdown
The Defenders wouldn't have anything to do 😭
I would argue, one of the top 5 most well rounded players to hit the pitch
Can't argue with that ✔️
The ONE and ONLY time I have him seen out of breath when marking Messi in CL final. This man was unreal. He successfully denied Messi his space for almost 60 minutes. But in the end toll was too high even for the man with 3 lungs.
He was incredible. 2 or 3 Players like him in the Team and that side never loses a game.
@@footballreminisce Yeah true.
Park was a Beast, so underrated.
Massively Underrated 😭
Totally underrated , quality some players don't have today
What a player
🔥🔥🔥
Three Lung Park is arguably the most underrated player in prem history
Totally Agree 🙏🔥
are you high lad? he was nothing but a bit part player. 06/07 was involved in 14 premier league games, 07/08 12 premier league games, 09/10 17 games, 10/11 15 games and 11/12 17 prem games. time played shows he was not underrated one bit. its just united fans looking back through their rose tinted glasses whilst crying because city have been out in front of you for over 10 years now.
@@PimpDaddyStyles so you are saying that you know more soccer than Fergie , Rooney, rio Ferdinand? They all said park was the most underrated player ever
Great player, joined utd as ji sung park and left park ji sung😀
😂 Any can work I guess
Most of my favourite players in Football Manager.
🔥🎮
He is a nice guy
100%
I really like your channel, however, I was disappointed by the lack of personal stats, in my personal opinion, it would be better if you include the stats of every season after you speak of it (Goals, Assists, G/A, and any other special stats he may have achieved that season) great video otherwise
Thankyou Akram 🙏 I usually do that for all the videos but not this one specifically because Park wasn't really the kind of player to judge by Goals and Assists as mentioned at 8:29 🙂
@@footballreminisce Fair enough, keep up the good work!
What a player this guy was absolute tank
Fact 🔥
no disrespect, but can you get a better microphone, great vid aswell
No offence taken 🙏 Will work on it buddy.
great video but dude ur voice sounds exactly like glen kightley
That is because it is Glen Kightley 😂😂 Thankyou Robin
@@footballreminisce LOL WHAT
Park-3 Lungs
🔥🔥🔥
only if he was put againts messi on that time. we couldve win - SAF . he is right. for me park you can put him everywhere, he listen to coach and manager. and he did it 100%. if other striker or winger player asked to do this they will give an attitude, cuz all they want was to score and go their name on ballon do'r thats all. dont take it serious
They don't make them like Park anymore 😭
You know the player is good when Scholes moans about playing against him in training!
Haha 😂 Must have been a nightmare!
Son beat players with his speed. Park beat players with his lung. Therefore, by equation Park wins because he has 3 lungs😂
I don't think you're wrong 😂
Oh by the way the meat eventually worked... 🍖🍗
@nlfootballEditz™ So you found me 😂 Protein is good for your health! Just ask Park.
@nlfootballEditz™ Nope
4 engines 3 lungs and 2 second wind traits
1 Ji Sung Park 🔥
Man utd needs a new Park in the team especially at CDM. We need to replace McSauce
He would do wonders for this United Team.
the fast asian player to man mark parlo
The only one 👀
ManU now players need learn how Park control ball.
✅✅
Kante has 4... Mic drop
😂😂
I think he is the greatest Korean player ever and not son.
I think Son himself would agree with you 🔥
A defending forward long before Firmino
Facts 😂 Not even sure any Forward/Winger could do a Man Marking job like Park.
Son won't pass his championships and I'm a United fan and loved Park. At the end of the day I think Son will take Parks crown.
No doubt Son has done a great service to South Korea and Tottenham as well but 👀
Park is a United legend who won more trophies than any other player in all of Asia, got to the World Cup semi-final, won a Champions League trophy, could play almost any position, man-marked Pirlo and was extremely effective, his name is still being chanted even though he hasn't played for United in over ten years; all great feats and a level Son won't reach.
Son is really good, but Park is really great.
Goodluck to son trying to win all the trophies Park won.
Lmao Son is a much better player. If Son was at City there would be no argument and there still really isn’t one. Park was good Son is world class. Only truly world class player from Asia I can think of.
@@salvadorjimenez1467 That is exactly what I was trying to say. The one thing that keeps coming up in the video is Parks size. Son is a big, strong, fast man.
Three lung park 😂
Built Different 🔥
So Park was a Space Marine?
He was definitely out of this world!
Park thri lung
🔥🔥
Son is literally the opposite
In terms of what exactly? 👀
Bro, say fast fast first fast first first first fast first fast fast first fast first real quick
No Thankyou 😂😂 Tough Test!
Actual pronounced in Hanguk language is PAK not Park. Hanguk sa reim🇰🇷🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Guy was useless. United only bought him so they could sell merchandice in the asia😊😂
Useless? 😳
@@footballreminisce yip
@@bonjovi7120 u must be high lmfao if Park didn't create space for Ronaldo and Rooney they wouldn't have scored that many goals. Same goes with Berba and Saha as well Park had top notch off-the-ball movement alongside with his man-marking ability. Ye he was not a technically gifted player, but he contributed literally EVERY fxxxin game he played and if ur can't agree, go check the stats when he was starting for United. He ran almost 10km a game, had an important assists and goals when things matter. It is sad to see that ur eyes failed you all these years watching Unites as a fan. Wake the fxxx up and look where United are now compare to the glory days when Park, Rooney and Ronaldo was up front smfh
So they don't need to sell merchandise again it seems. Where are the Asians in United?
Tell me you know nothing without telling me
What a player
FACT! 🔥🔥
