Dongguk University vs Yonsei University in some U-league cup final. EDIT: the cup is called 2011 National Autumn College Football Cup.
http://ko.justin.tv/gamsa365com#/w/1459070512

Nam Seung Woo and Jang Hyun Soo would have been playing for Yonsei if it wasnt for the U-20 NT.

Interesting how Korea Univeristy isnt in the final. Wanted to see "the Henry" Park Hee Song and Ahn Jin Bum.

Yonsei University's goalkeeper is Park Chong Hyo. Im keeping my eyes on you.

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

Actually, there are four players that play with Yonsei University that are currently with U-20 NT:
Nam Seung Woo, Jang Hyun Soo, Baek Sung Dong and Hwang Eui Jo.

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

Just when I said Im keeping my eyes on the Yonsei goalie, he made the error that costed the team its title.
It seemed that Park Chong Hyo was able to get the ball crossed in by Dongguk's Choi Sung Min but made a mistake and Choo Pyong Gang of Dongguk tapped in the winning goal.
Dongguk 1-0 Yonsei, and that means, Dongguk University have won the cup for its second consecutive time.

Seo Myung Won:


Seo Myung Won (16) of "Shinpyung High School" has 10 goals and is second in goal ranking (in the Highschool league).
In 2008, he won the Cha Bum Keun Football award, and played with Portsmouth's youth team in 2009.
The manager of Shinpyung Highschool team praised him by saying "Seo is one of those strikers that would come in 100 years time."
Seo Myung Won is 182cm and has the ability to burst powerful speed and add that, he has the instincts to score goals naturally (like a true striker).
He is similar to Ji Dong Won, in which he has the flexibility to use his body and the ability to showcase a talent in shooting.
In September, he will be joinging the Fulham Youth team.

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

If he plans on staying at Fulham for a while, wouldn't he not be able to play for the first team straight out of the youth setup b/c of work permit issues?

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

im not too sure on this issue, but since he's 16 and stays in the Fulham youth system for X amount of years, won't he be issued a work permit?

btw im enjoying the updates Jitevra, keep em coming!

What's Oh Jangeun and Baek Jihoon doing there?

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

I was gonna say Lee Chun-soo should be occupying one of those wing spots.... but then I remembered he was on the 2002 World Cup squad.... oh how time flies

Shouldn't this pop over to korean players abroad? Man, almost missed this.

On the subject of Fulham, when Seo Myung Won goes there he wont feel too lonely. We have a young Korean goalie in the name of Tae Yoon there (in the Fulham youth).

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

No.

고교 최고의 공격수 중 하나인 포항 U-18팀의 이광훈 ⓒ이상헌포항 U-18팀(포철공고)의 챌린지리그 우승을 이끈 이광훈은 자타가 공인하는 고교 최고의 공격수 중 하나다.

그는 올 시즌 '2011 SBS 고교클럽(U-18) 챌린지리그'에서 18경기에 출전해 13골을 터뜨리며 득점왕에 올랐다. 체구는 작지만, 탁월한 개인기와 폭발적인 스피드를 활용한 공간 침투 등은 타의 추종을 불허한다. 그를 지도하고 있는 포항 U-18팀의 이창원 감독도 "빠르고, 공간침투능력과 투쟁력, 득점력을 다 갖췄다. 무엇보다 항상 100%를 다하려고 노력하는 성실한 자세가 강점"이라고 칭찬했다.

주로 윙 포워드로 경기에 나서는 그는 활발한 움직임과 골 결정력으로 팀 공격을 책임졌고, 포항 U-18팀은 18경기에서 41골을 뽑아내는 무서운 화력을 과시했다. 그리고 챌린지리그에서 공인받은 그의 공격력은 '2011 대교눈높이 고등리그 왕중왕전'을 통해서 다시 한번 위력을 드러낼 전망이다. 실제로 왕중왕전에 진출한 64개 팀 감독들을 대상으로 했던 설문조사에서 이광훈은 '고교 최고의 선수'로 첫 손가락에 뽑힐 정도로 인정받고 있다.

이광훈은 스피드를 살린 저돌적인 드리블 돌파가 일품이다. ⓒ이상헌"챌린지리그에서 우승하면서 마음이 편해지긴 했지만, 왕중왕전이 가장 큰 대회인 만큼 모두들 똘똘 뭉쳐서 다시 우승 해보자는 각오가 대단해요. 대진운도 괜찮은 것 같아서 기대가 됩니다."

"팀 동료들이 워낙 개개인의 능력이 좋아요. 우리 팀 자체가 개인의 능력과 함께 패스 플레이를 통해서 공격을 전개하는데, 그 덕분에 좋은 패스를 많이 받아 저도 골을 많이 넣을 수 있었어요. 왕중왕전에서도 다시 한번 득점왕을 노려보고 싶습니다.(웃음)"

어느덧 이광훈이 포항에서 보낸 지도 6년이 지났다. 포철중(포항 U-15팀) 1학년 때부터 포항과 함께 해왔던 그는 졸업 후에도 곧바로 포항 스틸러스 유니폼을 입고 프로 무대로 뛰어들 예정이다. 그렇기에 고교 시절의 마지막 무대인 왕중왕전을 통해 유종의 미를 거두겠다는 각오다.

"포철중과 포철공고에서의 생활은 더할 나위 없이 좋았어요. 마지막으로 감독님께 선물을 드려야죠. 또한 대표 선수들이나 K리그 선수들만 밟는 서울월드컵경기장을 직접 밟아보면 감회가 새로울 것 같기도 하고요. 우승에 도전해보겠습니다."

Good player, but not sure how his game will translate in the pro's. Uses a lot of speed and strength, but there will be a ton of players who are stronger and faster than him in the big league. Also, he's playing with some great players in Pohang's U18 team--such as Moon Changjin who i feel has bigger potential--which could have inflated his abilities. All in all, I would sum him up to be a more clinical version of Lee Jongho. If he turns out well, he can be the next Lee Keunho. He should aim higher though.

As for the 왕중왕전, I think it will be a fight between six clubs: Pohang [포항제철고], Jeonbuk [영생고], Suwon [매탄고], Jeju [서귀포고], 보인고, and 부경고. 부경고 is the defending champion. Jeonbuk and Suwon face off one another on Sunday morning in the second round.

Favourites to win the tourney according to 64 coaches [who were allowed to make multiple picks]:

1. 보인고 [25 votes]
2. 수원공고 [22 votes]
3. Jeonbuk / 영생고 [19 votes]
4. Pohang / 포항제철고 [15 votes]
5a. Ulsan / 현대고 [10 votes]
5b. Suwon / 매탄고 [10 votes]
5c. 부경고 [10 votes]

I think one thing 수원공고 has got it going for them is that no one in their team was included in the U18 national squad which will be participating in the qualifying for next year's U19 AFC Championship held later this month. This isn't something I took consideration when I was picking my favourites, but surely, it will give a lot of teams a fair share of chance to win as the very top teams have each lost their one or more of their key players.

A lot of these matches will be available live on kfatv.com. If you are not heading out this weekend, I suggest you take a peak. The quality of football displayed will amaze you.

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

Jeonbuk and Pohang out in the first round. Really disappointed with Pohang. Jeonbuk lost a couple of players to the national team but Pohang had all but one of their core.

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

Second round over. Suwon is through along with the favourites 수원공고 and 보인고. 부경고 got out-done by Ulsan so they are eliminated. My darkhorse pick Jeju is through with a win on penalties. Third round to be played on Wednesday. Ulsan and 보인고 go head-to-head.

Re: 2011 National League/Challengers League/U-League/Elementary, Jr. & Sr. High School League Thread

Suwon out. Ulsan got past 보인고 to the quarters. Jeju and 수원공고 are also through.
