Park Ju-Young @ Watford F.C. 2014 [R]

Anything HMB says can and will be used against him in a court of internetional law. Who cares what he said and if he goes back on that now. Things change, people change, you take what life gives you and go with whatever gives you the best chance at success. In this case it is PCY.

 

I can't read Korean but it's obvious how insane Korean press and netizens are. HMB could learn from the more opaque managers / coaches of the world.

 

this concern over netizens' opinions is absurd. been living in seoul for 2 years now and there has been no intense coverage from reputable news outlets regarding this issue. Yes everyone has an opinion and has a right to voice it, but that doesn't really change squat.
Anyone with a computer and an internet connection is a netizen. it's like being concerned over youtube users' hate-mongering comments. im glad we have a coach who seems to not give into this kind of crap and does what he is getting paid to do, with the confidence that he was appointed to be the knt coach because he is the most qualified to do so.

 

Anyway, Watford Observer reports HMB's comments but more interestingly reports PCY's issue which is Cellulitis. I was worried of something more mechanical after last years broken bone and leg/knee issue after Greece.

Gross. Makes you wonder what the facilities are like over at Watford...

 

yeah... prob wouldn't want to go back to the medical facility that most likely gave you this. at least its not the more serious variants of athletic facility disease (e.g. staph which has the worst pictures)

 

i feel bad for pjy but i also suspect he has some attitude problems.

 

PJS did say that PJY was stubborn .... his decisions, he has to live with. but then, we only know so much.

 

Sounds like Chun-soo Lee, and Ki Sung-yong had the same problem. Leaving for Korea whenever they pleased.

 

lol holes in the jeans

 

how recent are these pics?

 

Today.

He's better off in Korea. He'll probably contract a flesh-eating virus or god knows what if he goes back to Watford.

 

did he give up on club football in England?

 

You mean for the season? He was ruled out for a few weeks because of his foot. The last game is next week (May 3), so he's pretty much done.

 

I hope he has a great WC performance and land a new permanent club....Not the desert n Not China

 

Rare long(er) interview:

So a journalist asks Seigo Ikeida about his thoughts on Park's goal of integrating himself to core of the national team in just 50 days, and he just says, "He's taken care of his body, so his body fat hasn't gone up. I was surprised by that." He must have some low standards for Park lol.

 

I doubt the coach would say 'he's in a terrible shape, we're doomed for the World Cup'. But given Park's record of playing well at the international stage regardless of the club form, it's not surprising.

 

But keep in mind the elite level of these athletes' bodies when they play at the highest level every week. For PCY to sit for extended periods of time with no real expectation of ever playing but still keep his fitness level up must have surprised Ikeida.

 

is his contract out?
