Son Heung-Min @ Hamburg SV 2011-2012 Part 2 [R]

Yes, he should get sold in the coming week.

Thx. Saw both.

I wonder where that put SHM with Rudi with one singular goal and only beister on the right.

내베프!!! Tolgay 한국가는비행기탔다 우승하고오자잉!!^^

The HSV facebook page loves SHM

ugh...still too bad he wasn't on the Olympic team. he would've been a star I get the strange feeling.

I read an interesting interview with Manfred Ertel (HSV board member) who is married to South Korean woman, and traveled with the team to Korea.

Some of the quotes:

"South Korea is an impressive country. Our players will not forget this trip anytime soon".

"Thanks to Heung-Min Son, who is incredibly popular in South Korea, the club had been able to acquire two Korean sponsors"

"Son is a stroke of luck for HSV - both sporty and financially".

Hamburg will probably make a deal with another South Korean company during their time there. Hanjin shipping company is a potential new sponsor.

HSV will co-operate with Son's father academy.

Son is the real gem for HSV. Probably, the only player that brings money for the club. Valuable.

Now, It's the time to shine in the Bundesliga, Son

Apparently he's running a "koreapedia" on HSV site. Today, mostly about the humidity in korea at this time of year

So Hamburg finally bought a playmaker. can't say I follow croatian football to know his quality.

I don't know much myself but Croats a one league club. The club you mentioned being the best. Majority of their talent comes from that team if not some club named hajeck splitt or something.

modric is from the club you just mentioned.

Scored twice in 6-0 win over suwon reserves

small correction it was national league side suwon city not suwon reserves

ah. didn't know there was a second club and the twitter had said samsung suwon but the site clearly shows the red and blue kits.

As a sign of apology for my hip ignorance of korean football, I offer pic of match from hsv site.

Son's father on the far right?

Yup

Interesting that he appears to be the shortest.

Ji's injured? Don't see him with the others..

You mean Ji DongWon? He's in London for the Olympics.

What's the name of the guy on the left again? I thought he was a starting FB on our youth team...didn't even realize he's not on the London roster. What happened there?

Hong Chul? Good thing he wasn't selected, i say

Basically, he can't defend.

Yeah that was his name. I thought he was decent compared to our other options, aka loves getting forward and doesn't bother defending much.

YSY and PJH are better I think.
