‘Legendary’ Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo, the 3rd round of’Competition in Good Faith’ on the K-League stage

Two’Legends’ Park Ji-sung (40) and Lee Young-pyo (44), who represented Korean football in the 2000s, will play the third round on the stage of the K-League in Korea.

Park Ji-sung and Lee Young-pyo were pioneers who pioneered the European stage together in the 2000s.

After playing a leading role in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup quarterfinals, coach Gus Hiddink moved to Eindhoven in the Netherlands with the call.

Since then, Park Ji-sung joined Manchester United, the best prestigious English Premier League (EPL), and opened the era of success in splendor.

Lee Young-pyo also toured the European stage with Tottenham Hotspur (England) and Borussia Dortmund (Germany).

Attacker Park Ji-sung and full-back Lee Young-pyo often confronted each other.

In the 2005-2006 EPL round 35 match between Manchester United and Tottenham, Ji-Sung Park helped Wayne Rooney score by taking Lee Young-pyo’s ball by surprise. Afterwards, the scene where Park Ji-sung quietly approached Lee Young-pyo’s back and held hands with each other deeply moved the fans.

The competition in good faith continues even after retirement.

During the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Park Ji-sung played SBS and Lee Young-pyo as commentators on KBS.

As a commentator, it is the main opinion that Lee Young-pyo won Park Ji-sung completely.

The two heroes will compete for the third time in the K League 1 in 2021.

Jeonbuk Hyundai, the’defending champion’, appointed Park Ji-sung as a’club advisor’ on the 19th.

It is said that the new Jeonbuk coach Kim Sang-sik made an offer to Park Ji-sung to join him first. Coach Kim and Ji-sung Park have a relationship that played together in the national team.

It is also known that the Hyundai Motor Group’s will to create more value than the soccer team’s performance by having a’big name’ of Park Ji-sung, which is well known worldwide, is also reflected.

Jeonbuk held a press conference at the home stadium, Jeonju World Cup Stadium. However, Park Ji-sung’s press conference will be held at Hyundai Motor Studio in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do on the 21st. This is the point that makes us guess what it means for Hyundai Motor Company to accept Park Ji-Sung.

It is unclear what specific tasks Park Ji-sung will take in Jeollabuk-do.

The club explained that Ji-Sung Park, who had the title of’Committee’, plays a role of advising Jeonbuk on the selection, development, scouting, and training system of professional and youth players.

In reality, how much power is put in Park Ji-sung’s’advice’ and whether he is responsible for his grades is expected to become clear after time.

Lee Young-pyo was previously appointed as Gangwon FC’s CEO on the 22nd of last month.

Unlike Park Ji-sung, he sat in a position with very clear authority and responsibility.

Under the direction of’CEO’ Lee Young-pyo, Kangwon is making a bold move in the transfer market by recruiting defenders Yoon Seok-young and Lim Chang-woo, offensive midfielder Martha, and striker prospect Kim Dae-won.

Fans are already curious as to what report cards will be available after the 2021 season by Park and CEO Lee, the legends of Korean football.
