Remembering Three Lung Park. GOD55

Players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney often stole the headlines for Manchester United, but fans shouldn’t forget their unsung hero.

When Patrice Evra recently named Park Ji-sung in his ultimate team-mate Xl, a lot of people may have been surprised. When you consider some of the players Evra played with during his career, it was one hell of a compliment.

However, Park never got the credit that he deserved during his seven years in Manchester and his influence on United’s success clearly was not underestimated by his team-mates.

Park first started to catch people’s attention at the 2002 World Cup where he helped South Korea reach the semi-finals. And he made such an impact on Guus Hiddink that when he left the national team job to return to club football with PSV, he took Park with him.

The midfielder’s stock continued to rise in Holland, and he was nominated for UEFA’s ‘Best Forward’ award in 2005 alongside Ronaldinho, Andriy Shevchenko, Samuel Eto’o and Adriano.

Later that year, Park moved to England and joined a Manchester United side looking to rebuild amid Jose Mourinho’s dominance at Chelsea.

But despite his achievements and obvious talents, some pundits still lazily suggested the move was nothing more than a far east marketing ploy and a publicity stunt.

However, those unfounded and ignorant assumptions were soon replaced by thoughts of amazement and admiration when Park stepped on to the field.

Park’s performances completely altered his media perception and people were quickly won over by his endless energy, brilliant attitude and strong determination to win the ball back.

The midfielder embodied what every fan wants to see in a footballer: someone who is happy to sacrifice his own game and any chance of personal glory to enhance his team’s chances of success.

Park even earned the nickname “Three Lung Park” from United supporters due to his exceptional work rate and ability to run throughout the entire 90 minutes in every game.

Of course, he was so much more than just a great tackler and a workhorse, but his willingness to do that was something that fans, team-mates and his manager deeply respected.

Park may not have always been a guaranteed starter for United, but Sir Alex Ferguson relied on him when a big season-defining game was on the horizon.

While some footballers may wilt under the pressure in the biggest games, Park always seemed to thrive in that situation, and he became United’s man for the big occasion.

ome of his finest performances came in United’s run to the 2008 Champions League final when he played every minute in the quarter-final and semi-final stages.

Park was arguably Man of the Match in both legs of their aggregate win over Barcelona as he put in two tireless shifts, once again covering every blade of grass for United.

“I used to think of him as the manager’s loyal soldier. Sir Alex would give him precise instructions and he would follow them to the letter,” Paul Scholes told The Independent about Park.

Park also developed a reputation for scoring goals when it mattered most, finding the back of the net against the likes of AC Milan, Liverpool and Chelsea during his seven years at Old Trafford.

However, it was Arsenal who always seemed to bring the best out of Park, with five of his 27 United goals coming against the Gunners.

In 2009, United were in the Champions League semi-final once again, and while Ronaldo’s two goals against Arsenal took the spotlight, it was Park who deserved the plaudits.

After getting United’s opener, he was also at the heart of United’s third goal, playing an essential and selfless supporting role.

The Korean started the move, began a powerful burst into the Arsenal half, found Rooney on the left flank and then let Ronaldo do the rest.

“The great thing about Ji-Sung Park is he’s one of the best professionals we’ve had here. He was truly fantastic, and particularly in big games. I loved playing him in the big games. His record against Arsenal, for instance, was fantastic,” Sir Alex said.

The United manager’s faith in Park for these key games spoke volumes about the player, as it took a lot to earn Ferguson’s trust, but the Scot knew that Park would never let him down.

Ferguson didn’t often pay opposition players the compliment of assigning them a man marker, but he felt like he had to make an exception in 2010.

Ahead of United’s games AC Milan in the last 16 of the Champions League, the Red Devils had identified Andrea Pirlo as the Italian’s main man due to his ability to dictate the game.

Fortunately for Ferguson he had the perfect man for the job and tasked Park with the sole job of stopping the midfield maestro from controlling things.

The tactic proved to be a stroke of genius as Park became Pirlo’s personal shadow, never giving the Italian a second to relax on the ball. Wherever Pirlo went, Park followed.

United’s energiser bunny hassled and harried his opponent throughout both games, and no matter what Pirlo tried, Park always seemed to be one step ahead.

The Milan midfielder was brilliantly nullified and wasn’t able to exert any kind of influence on either game as United cruised to a 7-2 aggregate win.

“Park must have been the first nuclear powered South Korean in history…he rushed about the pitch at the speed of an electron,” Pirlo said in his autobiography.

“They’d programmed him to stop me. His devotion to the task was almost touching. Even though he was a famous player, he consented to being used as a guard dog.”

Those games became Park’s most celebrated performances and for once the praise and admiration was all aimed in his direction.

However, two years later and his United career was coming to an end as the underappreciated midfielder left Old Trafford to little fanfare in 2012.

In a team full of stars, Park was never going to be the headline act, but people shouldn’t forget that he played a vital role in a squad that dominated English football.

Salute to Park Ji Sung. The UnSung Hero.

Hidetoshi Nakata. The Japanese Beckham. GOD55

Hidetoshi Nakata had built the career he always dreamed of by the time he was 29 years old.

The former soccer player, often referred to as the “Japanese David Beckham” had notched three FIFA World Cup appearances, two Olympic games, and major contracts with clubs in the U.K. and Italy. He even received one of Italy’s highest orders, the Order of the Star of Italian Solidarity, honoring his near decade-long career there.

But 11 years into his soccer journey, he decided to walk away from it all.

“I was not playing football because I wanted to become famous or a millionaire, but because I loved football,” Nakata said. “But, I was feeling maybe a little bit tired from the environment and things.”

Just weeks after Japan’s 4-1 loss to Brazil in the 2006 World Cup, he announced his surprise retirement, saying that he had quietly made the decision six months before, after realizing that soccer had just become “a big business.”

With his playing days over, Nakata went in search of a second act.

It didn’t come easily.

He traveled by car to all 47 prefectures in Japan to reacquaint himself with his home country after spending much of his career abroad. He met with farmers, chefs, and other craftsmen, determined to preserve decades-old Japanese traditions. It took Nakata seven years to complete the cross country trip, but he eventually found his true passion: sake.

“Once I started understanding the culture behind sake and the industry, I started to understand the quality of sake and the people behind it, the history behind it,” Nakata said. “But at the same time, I understood the problems they have.”

Nakata’s interest in sake — an alcoholic drink made from fermented rice — coincided with declining domestic sales: Sake purchases have fallen 30 percent since 1975, according to numbers from Japan’s tax agency. While a declining population and aging drinkers were partly to blame, the sake industry was also suffering from an image problem and had been replaced by wine and cocktails among younger consumers.

So, Nakata turned passion into ambition. In 2013 he launched “N,” a high-end sake that retails for $1,000 a bottle. Next, he helped develop a sake fridge to make it easier for restaurants and sake enthusiasts to enjoy the beverage at optimum temperatures.

“So many people think (sake) is the same as wine, or that room temperature is fine,” Nakata says. “But actually, you need to keep it at minus (five) degrees. Because nobody tells you this type of information, there’s no such product like a wine cellar.”

A few years ago, Nakata launched Sakenomy, an application that translates sake labels for users and offers an extensive guide to sake makers, as well as recommendations on pairings for different cuisines.

In the process, he has become a type of cultural ambassador for his country, traveling the globe to showcase the best of Japan.

“All of those traditional markets, like craftsmen and sake makers don’t really open doors that easily to the public,” Nakata says. “If you have a great object, if you have great information, if you have great experiences or stories, it’s better to share with people.”

Nakata’s business keeps him far from the field these days, but the former soccer player says the discipline he learned as an athlete, still stays with him. He continues to train every morning, because he says it keeps him mentally sharp. He says his body is a measure of “how you are pushing your mind.”

Even as he looks to expand his sprawling sake business, Nakata insists there is no real end goal.

“I just do things I have a passion for. Soccer, craft, culture,” he says. “I’m not doing it for money or fame. That’s why, for me, there is no real success or no real fail.”

The Plan To Exit PSG by Neymar? GOD55

Neymar is refusing to accept a salary cut related to the coronavirus crisis, in a move that some say is the beginning of an exit for the Brazilian, according to a new report.

Paris Saint-Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi reportedly has asked for a 70% salary reduction, which is said to be supported by the likes of Kylian Mbappé. But others, such as Neymar, Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani, Juan Bernat, and Ander Herrera are rumored to be opposed.

Neymar’s refusal to accept the terms, it is said, is a signal that he’s ready to pack his bags and try to force a move back to Barcelona.

The player was close to joining his old club last summer, although PSG and Barcelona failed to come to an agreement.

Bye Bye PSG? We will see about that.

Most Valuable European Football Club. Real Madrid. GOD55

Consultancy firm KPMG has produced the 2020 European Elite report, and according to them, Real Madrid — for the second consecutive year — are the most valuable football club in the world. Real Madrid is valued at €3.478 billion, which puts them ahead of Manchester United and FC Barcelona. The club’s enterprise value annual has risen by 8%.

From Real Madrid’s official website:

The report notes that Real Madrid’s position at the summit owes to the high revenues figures recorded throughout the five years that the study relates to (2016-2020), after having lifted the Champions League three times during this period, as well as the club’s improved profitability and a 41% aggregate growth in commercial revenue.

The list above are officially from KPMG. Now that's a smashing result Zidane!

Luiz Suarez's 3 Victims. GOD55

The LUIZ SUAREZ Biting History.

Here are all 3 times Luis Suarez has bitten opponents. 

Luis Suarez is back at the World Cup hoping to lead Uruguay deep into the tournament, and hopefully, he will be around for their entire run this time.

During the 2014 World Cup, Luis Suarez bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini in one of the most shocking incidents in recent soccer history. He was ultimately banned for nine games and sent home from the tournament.

While Suarez has been one of the best players in the world during his career, he has also been the sport’s biggest villain.

Inexplicably, the 2014 World Cup was his third confirmed biting incident. Below is a look at all three.

1. While playing at Ajax in Holland in 2010, he was suspended for seven games for biting PSV Eindhoven’s Otman Bakkal on the shoulder.

2. While playing for Liverpool in 2013, he was suspended for 10 games for biting Chelsea’s Branislov Ivanovic on the arm.

3. While playing for Uruguay in the 2014 World Cup, he bit Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini. He was not punished during the game.

Well that is one weird way to punish your opponents.

Anthony Martial Has A Mission. GOD55

Anthony Martial has been given a new Manchester United challenge. Man Utd may be unable to extend Odion Ighalo's loan deal but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has faith in his No.9.

It feels like Anthony Martial has long needed to prove a point to his detractors.

Words like 'potential' and 'hype' have been thrown around in relation to the forward for many a year, but he's almost five years into his Manchester United career now. Only Wayne Rooney has contributed more goals and assists to United than Martial in the post Sir Alex Ferguson era.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has successfully re-energised Martial, helping the Frenchman rediscover his best form by reinstating him as the club's No.9 and it now looks like the striker is here to stay.

Solskjaer's decision to give Martial the centre-forward role back - and the shirt number to go with it - was not just designed as a confidence-booster. Technically and tactically it has worked too, with Martial on course for his best United season goals-wise before coronavirus hit. Martial and Marcus Rashford were dovetailing beautifully, both scoring more goals than ever before.

The statistics reflect the fact that Martial is producing better results than ever. He has averaged a goal or assist every 115 minutes across the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League so far this season, simply because he is taking more shots from inside the box. Bruno Fernandes' January arrival then improved the quality of service Martial was getting from his midfield. It's no surprise that he's thriving.

As Solskjaer said of Martial when his form was dipping a touch: "That's when you see the real player. That's when they have to go the extra mile, sacrifice you body for blocks or to sacrifice a broken nose to score a goal."

Martial responded.

Another January addition may also have helped spur Martial on to new levels, however, with Odion Ighalo providing good competition for the centre-forward spot. More often than not, Solskjaer used Ighalo as a Martial replacement, with Rashford unavailable due to a back injury and Mason Greenwood playing most of his football on the right flank.

No More Injuries For Tottenham. GOD55

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has told Sky Sports all of his players have recovered from injury, but everybody will struggle to play to their maximum due to the lack of match time.

Before the coronavirus pandemic halted football, Mourinho's Spurs had a number of injury issues, including Harry Kane's long-term hamstring injury, Heung-Min Son's arm injury, plus absences for Steven Bergwijn and Moussa Sissoko.

Mourinho was forced to field depleted sides in February and March due to the injury problems, resulting in them being knocked out of the FA Cup and Champions League.

A start date for the Premier League is still to be decided, and players are yet to return to full-contact training, but Mourinho says his players have recovered from their injuries, though warned that is very different to having full match fitness.

Speaking with Sky Sports' Geoff Shreeves for The Football Show, Mourinho said: "I cannot say in this moment they are ready to play because one thing is to recover from an injury, and another is to be ready to play football.

"In Harry's case, I think for about five months he hasn't played, but all of them are not injured any more. They are training, and training is what it is at the moment, training has a lot of limitations. We cannot compete, we cannot do one versus one, we have to keep a certain distance, we cannot compete.

"Harry Kane, Son, Bergwijn, Sissoko, all of them are fine. I think with a couple of weeks of normal training, when the authorities tell us we can train normally I think in a couple of weeks, the boys will be ready to play, of course not in the maximum of their potential, I think nobody can do that in this moment.

"For us, of course, it is a great feeling, because we finished the period with that defeat at Leipzig, where we were really, really in trouble to have 11 players, including attacking players, and in this moment (Erik) Lamela, Son, Dele (Alli), Harry Kane, Bergwijn, everybody is fit now.

"I Do Not Need Axxholes In My Team" Ole. GOD55

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said he would rather have "a hole in the squad than an a*******" after ridding his team of "bad apples".

The United boss is plotting his next move in the transfer market, with both Jadon Sancho and Jack Grealish high on his list of targets ahead of the summer window.

United have had to redraw their transfer plans in response to the financial impact of the coronavirus pandemic, and are now reluctant to pay fees above £60-70m in the coming months.

That could mean they are forced to look elsewhere for value for money, with James Maddison, Jude Bellingham and a striker also on Solskjaer's wanted list.

One thing is for certain: they are determined to stay competitive in the market, and Solskjaer will be guided by errors made by the club in the past.

The United boss, who offloaded Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez six months after his arrival, has offered an insight into the squad he discovered upon arrival at Old Trafford in late 2018, and how it will inform his decision-making going forward.

"I'd rather have a hole in the squad than an a*******," he told fanzine United We Stand. "Personality is so important. We're a team in a team environment.

"You want players to have a bit of ego and edge but they have to be able to adapt. In March 2019, players were physically tired, mentally tired and we had injuries. The players started with negative thinking, whereas now it's positive thinking.

"There were other things I didn't like last year, some personal agendas which couldn't be sorted out until the summer. There will always be players who want to play more in football, but if a team is to be successful then players have to be available at different times. I feel in this group we don't have one bad apple."

Merseyside Can. Red Devils Can't. GOD55

Emre Can has intimated that Liverpool remain in his heart, despite rejecting the chance to stay at Anfield two years ago.

The 26-year-old midfielder spent four years with the Reds but left to join Juventus as a Bosman in the summer of 2018.

Can was a big player for Liverpool, evident by the fact that manager Jurgen Klopp offered him a contract to stay on Merseyside.

But the Germany international, who is now with Borussia Dortmund following a £22 million switch, elected to join the Italian champions on a free transfer.

The former Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen powerhouse was heavily linked with a January move to Manchester United, arguably Liverpool’s biggest rivals.

But Can has told Sport Bild that his ‘heart wouldn’t allow it’ due to his association with Klopp’s side, insisting that he’d never play for the Red Devils.

He said: “I would never play for United because of my time at Liverpool. My heart would not allow it. The rivalry between those clubs is huge.”

Even though some Liverpool fans weren’t happy with Can for his decision to leave, they will definitely respect his comments here.

Despite leaving, the club clearly left a big mark on him and the fact that he’d refuse to join their enemy is testament to that.

Angelino Don't Want To Be Back To Man City. GOD55

While speaking to Eurosport, Angelino hinted that he would prefer to stay at RB Leipzig than return to Manchester City.

The Manchester City left-back is currently on loan with Bundesliga side Leipzig following a loan move from the Premier League side in January. Angelino has made an instant impact since arriving in Germany, scoring one goal and assisting twice from eight games across all competitions before play stopped due to the coronavirus crisis.

The 23-year-old Spaniard was re-signed by Manchester City just last summer after spending a year at PSV Eindhoven. However, Angelino has spent just six months on his return to the Etihad before he was once again offloaded in January in a bid to get more regular action.

Despite proving himself at the highest level in Holland, Angelino once again found himself warming the benches after City signed him last summer. The presence of Benjamin Mendy and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the City set-up saw Angelino share the left-back duties along with the other two this season.

Among the three, Angelino came last in the pecking order under boss Pep Guardiola, featuring just six times in the Premier League this term. With game time getting increasingly limited at the Etihad despite just signing for them a few months back, Angelino saw himself being offloaded to Leipzig during the winter transfer window.

However, things seemed to have changed a little bit for Angelino since arriving in Germany, with the left-back even playing a crucial role in Leipzig’s Champions League win over last year’s runners-up Tottenham Hotspur.

The Spaniard finally seems to be enjoying his football, where he has become a regular presence unlike at City. Moreover, with first-choice left-back Mendy making a return into the side following a series of injuries, and Zinchenko waiting in line, Angelino’s chances of getting regular time look increasingly less in the coming days.

Hence, it would be wise of City to let go of their unwanted man, who does not seem to be in their manager’s plans at the moment.

Manchester City already have two left-backs in their side – one of the primary reasons why Angelino was sent on loan to Leipzig in January. Hence, it is clear that he is surplus to requirements at the Etihad. Manchester City could save themselves some money and time by selling him permanently than keeping him in the side.

FC Seoul Sex Dolls. GOD55

South Korean club FC Seoul could be fined or docked a minimum of five points for using sex dolls instead of mannequins to fill empty seats during a league match on Sunday.

The K-League has said its disciplinary committee will look into the incident, Yonhap news agency reported.

The club placed the dolls, some of which were dressed in the team's colours while others held placards supporting the side, in the stands to make up for the absence of fans due to Covid-19 restrictions.

However, viewers watching on television quickly pointed out that they looked more like sex dolls than mannequins and that some of them were holding placards bearing the name of an adult toy manufacturer.

Seoul, who beat Gwangju 1-0, could be docked a minimum of five points or face a fine of at least five million won ($4,073.9), Yonhap said.

The club apologised on Monday, saying they had failed to check the consignment sent by the supplier and that they were not aware the dolls were "adult products".

“We would like to apologise to the fans,” FC Seoul said in a statement on Instagram. “We are deeply sorry about the mannequins that were seated during the May 17, 2020 match.

"However, we would like to clarify that while these mannequins have been made to look and feel like real humans, they are not for sexual use — as confirmed by the manufacturer.

"We had them supplied by a company... which claimed they are clothing mannequins. We double- [and] triple-checked that they are not for sexual use."

Young Full Of Hair. GOD55

Inter Milan star Ashley Young looked almost unrecognisable as he returned to Inter Milan training with a full head of hair.

Young, who moved to Inter from Manchester United in January, like most, has had to make do without a trim for the past couple of months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The former England international had been in lockdown since March with Italy one of the worst-affected countries in Europe, but measures are now being slowly relaxed.

Italy Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte announced that from Monday, shops, salons, hairdressers, pubs, restaurants and museums could re-open while Serie A clubs were given the green light to return to training in small groups.

Despite barbers opening up again, Young clearly had no time to nip to one for a tidy up before training on Monday as he showed off his new - and very different - look.

Top-flight clubs up and down the country returned to the training pitch at the start of this week despite Parma confirming that two of their players had tested positive for the virus.

The Italian government laid out a protocol that an entire squad must go into a 15-day quarantine if one player tests positive for coronavirus, however clubs and the Players' Association rejected these rules.

There is still some ambiguity around when Serie A will be able to return to action, though there are hopes matches can resume behind closed doors next month.

The Bundesliga in Germany is the only major league in Europe to have got back up and running again.

Outcast Jovic Given 2nd Chance. GOD55

Real Madrid will look to Luka Jovic for goals next season, according to sources in Spain.

Los Blancos were previously thought to be targeting a move for prolific Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland, but their interest in the Norwegian has subsided.

The 19-year-old has scored 41 goals in total for RB Salzburg and Dortmund this term, and the Bundesliga will be determined to hold onto their most valuable asset.

Cadena Cope report Madrid have now turned their attention towards getting the best out of Jovic.

The Serbian has been ostracised from Zinedine Zidane's squad this term, making just four league starts since his £62million transfer from EIntracht Frankfurt last summer.

The 22-year-old has registered two goals and two assists this season, struggling to adapt to life at the Bernabeu.

But Jovic is capable of becoming one of the most potent strikers in La Liga, having scored 27 goals in 48 matches at Frankfurt last season.

He has been unable to dislodge Karim Benzema from the Madrid starting XI, but may well be given an opportunity over the coming months.

The Frenchman has been diagnosed with an extra-articular fracture in the calcaneus bone of the right foot and will likely be sidelined for three months.

Borussia Dortmund vs Shalke. It's ON! GOD55

FOOTBALL  IS  BACK!!

After a two-month absence, we’re absolutely buzzing to bring you live commentary of Borussia Dortmund vs Schalke as the Bundesliga returns on Saturday.


With some of the world’s most gifted young players on show and a bitterness between both clubs, ‘the mother of all derbies’ in Germany should not disappoint, even if it is behind closed doors.

For the hosts Dortmund, Marco Reus is still sidelined with a thigh injury he picked up before the coronavirus pandemic caused the season to be halted.

This is likely to mean Lucien Favre will play Thorgan Hazard, Jadon Sancho and Erling Haaland in a front three.

Even without Reus, it is a potent attack. Haaland has been sensational since signing from Red Bull Salzburg with 12 goals in 11 total appearances.

Sancho can claim to be one of the best players in the Bundesliga this season with 14 goals and 15 assists to his name.

Hazard himself has five goals and 10 assists from 24 league appearances.

In midfield, Emre Can and Axel Witsel will not be part of the squad due to injury.

Dortmund’s opponents also have their own injury problems and will have three players missing for Saturday’s match.

Manager David Wagner said: “A week ago, Ozan Kabak trained normally but he will not be called on. We want to give him another week. The only ones who don’t train with the group are Omar Mascarell and Benjamin Stambouli.”

WIth a few injury troubles, Dortmund revert to a back three with Mats Hummels, Manuel Akanji and Lukasz Piszczek in front of Roman Burki.

Raphael Guerreiro and Achraf Hakmi would be pushed on as the wing backs with Julian Brandt and Thomas Delaney in the central midfield roles.

Everton fans will recognise Jonjoe Kenny at right-back, who is currently on loan from the Merseyside club.

Kenny has never lost a derby match he’s played in so boss Wagner will no doubt be hoping some of that good fortune will carry over to the weekend’s match.

Woof Woof Be The Guard For Stars. GOD55

A host of Premier League stars are investing in fierce guard dogs after Dele Alli had his house burgled.

The Tottenham star was held at knife-point and had £350,000 worth of watches stolen.

It has led to top flight players buying guard dogs from security firms as a precation.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka is one of those and posted pictures online, as did team-mate Jesse Lingard, of dogs from Leicestershire’s Chaperone K9.

Its breeds, which are predominantly German and Belgian Shepherds, sell for £15,000.

A source told The Sun : “All players are worried by this. Who wants to get robbed at home? It’s awful whoever you are.

“The players talk to each other directly or through little cliques.

“They get a lot of attention when out, and their home is a place to chill. But people are now breaking in and thinking ‘This ( coronavirus lockdown) is a good time to get him because of what he has got there’.”

Wan-Bissaka's Manchester United colleague Paul Pogba, Alli's team-mate Hugo Lloris and rap star Stormzy are also customers of Chaperone K9.

Top flight stars are planning to stop parading certain items on social media in light of recent events.

And Harry Kane has said he has reached out to Tottenham team-mate Alli.

"I text him the day after it happened just to see how he was," he told Sky Sports.

"As normal I think he was a bit in shock and a bit angry about the situation but thankfully no one has hurt, no family was hurt, during the process, which is the main thing really.

"I think he's Okay, a little bit shaken up, but I guess he's getting on with it."
