some interesting fact about this AFC champions league. Koreans in non Korean teams. Group A: 1 Korean (Nam Tae Hee, Lekhwiya) Group B: 1 Korean (Lee Myung Joo, Al Ain) Group C: 2 Koreans ( Kwak Tae Hwi, Al Hilal) (Lee Jung Soo Al Sadd) Group D: 1 Korean (Kwon Kyung Won, Al Ahli) Group E: 1 Korean (Kim Chang Soo, Kashiwa Reysol) Group F: 4 Koreans (Oh Jae Suk, Gamba Osaka) (Go Seul Ki, Buriram United) (Park Jong Woo Guangzhou R&F) (Jang Hyun Soo, Guangzhou R&F Group G: 1 Korean ( Ha Dae Sung, Beijing Guoan) Group H: 2 Koreans (Kim Young Gwon, Guangzhou Evergrande) (Hwang Seok Ho, Kashima Antlers)
Jeonbuk's ACL squad 5. Jung In-hwan is definitely gone (to ???) -> 5. Lee Ho 13. Kim In-sung is definitely gone (to Incheon Utd) -> 13. Jung Hoon Weird numbers with 27. Lee Seung-ryul (14), 39. Cho Suk-jae (15), 47. Moon Sang-yoon (why 47???)
Jeonbuk's record with Kashiwa Reysol stands at... 4 matches 4 losses 3 scored 12 conceded ! Although for Jeonbuk you could argue that in all those matches, they were led by care-taker managers. But Kashiwa sure knows how to give it to our clubs (just think about 'that' Suwon match)

born and raised in Japan perhaps? Urawa also has Tadanari so that might be their way of saying, "We got the better Zainichi"
Lee Dong-guk & Wilkinson unlikely to start (and/or play) due to slight injuries to both Likely XI: FW : 에닝요 에두 한교원 MF : 이재성 최보경 문상윤 DF : 이주용 김기희 조성환(윌킨슨) 최철순 GK : 권순태
Jeonbuk: Edu Eninho ... Lee Jae Sung ... Han Kyo Won Jung Hoon ... Choi Bo Kyung Lee Ju Yong ... Kim Kee Hee ... Cho Sung Hwan ... Choi Chul Soon Kwon Sun Tae Sub: Hong Jeong Nam, Kim Hyung Il, Lee Jae Myung, Leonardo, Moon Sang Yoon, Lee Sang Hyub
No Lee Seung-gi. He is injured? Big blow for Suwon ahead of Urawa game Jung SR will likely be out at least 3-4 weeks, so he will also miss the start of Suwon's K League season
One thing is for sure...Lee Jae-sung is just ace of this team. Eninho still has class but its Lee Jae-sung.
Good half for Jeonbuk (dominating everything) except for scoring. Enin-Lee Jae-Han Kyo look good. Anyways, Seongnam's XI Kim Dong Sub Ricardo Bueno ... Kim Do Heon (c) ... Kim Dong Hee Kim Chul Ho ... Kim Sung Joon Park Tae Min ... Lim Chae Min ... Jang Suk Won ... Gwak Hye Seong Park Jun Hyuk
That was one of the most frustrating match to watch. All that domination and they couldnt score a single goal, and as time passed the football got uglier. Credit to Kashiwa, the toughest J.League out there as their defense were top notch. The same old Jeonbuk problems remains which is frustrating even if not being Jeonbuk fan - which is when they play well they definitely look good but when they play bad....fck me its bad. The only good thing was watching Lee Jae-sung (& the two left and right fullbacks for that matter).
