Park Ji-sung recently participated in a promotion program for K.League 3, 4 organized by the Korea Football Association (KFA).
Here, the former Man United player was asked to choose a dream hypothetical squad, with a limited budget of 10 billion won (nearly 200 billion VND).
Park Ji-sung has selected 11 players according to the 4-3-3 formation, including those who have played and are playing such as Son Heung-min, Ahn Jung-hwan, Cha Bum-geun, Patrick Evra, Lee Kang-in, Lee Young-pyo...
Finally, the former midfielder was asked to choose a coach from the nomination list to lead his dream club.
Park Ji-sung chose Mr. Park Hang-seo as his dream team leader, ignoring a series of other famous names such as Alex Ferguson, Guus Hiddink or Harry Redknapp... It should be known that Ferguson was the leader of Park Ji-sung at Man United, turning him into a legend of the team, when together they won 13 titles, notably 4 Premier League titles, 1 UEFA Champions League crown...
Talking about the reason for choosing the Vietnam national team coach, Park Ji-sung said, in Interfootball: Coach Park Hang-seo led the Korean team at the 2002 Asian Games. At that time, I really apologize because I was playing in Japan so I could only join my home team from the quarter-finals. That is the reason I want to try Mr. Park Hang-seo with this squad.
Park Ji-sung's choice of Mr. Park Hang-seo shows respect for the Vietnam national team coach as well as his reputation and profound influence after what he has done with Vietnamese football.
At the 2022 World Cup, Park Ji-sung was one of 23 players of the Korean team in the semi-finals and at that time, Mr. Park was an assistant to Guus Hiddink.
After this tournament, Mr. Park was trusted to lead the Korean Olympic team to compete in the ASIAD at home. In this playground, he took his home team to the semi-finals.
For the KFA at that time, that achievement was not compared to the goal of winning the certificate, so Mr. Park was later fired.
