If he's gonna sign KMJ, KMJ should ask for a condition that if CKH is fired from Tianjin, his contract is terminated as well-- so that he doesn't go through the same ordeal as HJH (when CYS got sacked and HJH was stuck in a club).
im sure choi kanghee would love to have kim minaje come along but i doubt hes actually trying to recruit him to china. everyone here is always skeptical whenever a korean player they dont rate is linked to a club in europe why believe anything else that the media says. even if kim minjae does decide to go to china thats not choi kanghee convincing him thats kim minjae getting convinced by money on the table
Or one of his KNT Hyungs could tell him to not throw away his career like HJH hyung and try to move to a top European league. CKH can go screw himself. He was probably the highest paid coaches in the K league and would have lived a comfortable life when he retires. He is a sell out
Kim Min-jae was already linked with Tianjin a few weeks ago by the Chinese media, but that was all based on Choi Kang-hee's preference. The Chinese media also threw in Marcao in the same article just because he was the top scorer in the K-League. As of right now, it's all rumors. Also, I'm pretty sure Kim Min-jae is aware of what happened to the last few KNT defenders in the CSL: - Kim Young-gwon (rotting in the reserves) - Kim Ju-young (no one knows what happened to him) - Kim Ki-hee (Jumped ship right when CSL was implementing the U23 policy and removing the +1 Asian quota. Now a fan favourite at Seattle) - Hong Jeong-ho (followed Choi Yong-soo & $$$. Ended up rotting in the reserves.)
If I'm Gyeongnam I'll sell Marcao for a lot of money. Then I'll buy another Brazilian in Brazilian lower league that can replicate his stat.
I'll ask 20 mill then buy a Brazilian for 100K in Brazilian D league or something. Repeat that cycle.
i forgot about KJY. he had some poor performances like most of the other CBs in the pool but he was relatively solid for a stretch. i like KMJ but i'm worried about who partners well with him in the back. not convinced KYG is the best style of CB next to him. but KNT defense will be an evergreen concern
Sad when you see it like that. Specially thinking about KYG whom had a great WC, dreamed of Europe and now rotting in the reserves. Not in Europe but in fkcing CSL.
Looked like an awkward athlete but held his own. Some guys don't run smooth like a zebra, doesn't make them bad footballers.
Choi Jin-han, Choi Jin-chul, Lee Woon-jae will be joining Hiddink's China U-23/Olympic NT coaching staff.
has anyone of hiddinks assistants found success under another manager or as a head coach? i never got the feeling he had eyes for good coaches. probably just knew how to get the best out of them (very similar to his work relationship with his players)
wow. Its funny how desperate are some of these nations are. Freaken Hiddink for the olympics lol. Talk about a huge waste of money. Its like they cant wait and build their program. They need immediate gratification.
So at first I was pissed when I saw this, then I realized they've had so many world renowed managers over the years (For the national team) and failed to amount to anything. I doubt Hiddink will be any different. And yeah you're right. Very sad how for a U23 program, they felt the need to go out and buy up someone like Hiddink to manager their team.
