WHAT THEY SAID

Sir Alex Ferguson: “I believe Ji-sung will give us implausible power and velocity on both aspect. The video games he impressed me most with PSV have been when he performed on the left-hand aspect and got here infield, so I’ll begin with him there to start with and see how he develops. However Guus Hiddink mentioned to me that he’s bettering daily, so it is an awesome choice for me. He’s fast, has implausible power and is nice within the air. so the choices are different. He is a really cellular participant and really fast. He has implausible power and to get gamers with that high quality with the velocity of the sport is an actual asset.”

Sammy McIlroy: “Park appeared the half within the Champions League for PSV and is an attack-minded participant not like the likes of Kleberson or Djemba-Djemba.

I believe that is the place Park could have a greater likelihood of constant choice in comparison with his predecessors.”
