Motivation is one thing, but monetary issue is another thing imo. If a Chinese team offers him about 5-10 times the salary he would receive in Europe, it would be hard to blame him for going to China.
Here's another interesting fun fact that will make our Wednesday's friendly match vs Spain even more interesting. Most of you already know by now that Stielike was a former Real Madrid legend, but so was Vicente Del Bosque and in fact they were once teammates during their career with Madrid. After 32 years the two Real Madrid legends will now meet face to face as managers, perhaps making this match a bit more entertaining.
Spain will play today vs Bosnia with a lot of U-21 players, Barcelona players + Casillas, Thiago, Morata, De Gea etc...arrived yesterday to the training camp, so I think they will get some minutes vs Korea; Real and Atletico players will have a 1 week vacation after the CL final so they won't play on Wednesday.
Stielike: "No doubt that this will be a special meeting and we'll be meeting each other after a long time. Since it's been roughly 8 years we've played together during our previous career as players, it will be even more special."

either we keep it close or they blow us away, both inevitably resulting a loss... hopefully one of the strikers can see a goal. it will be a good boost of confidence
Iker Casillas to his Porto teammate Suk Hyun-jun. Insensitive, regardless of whether or not he was "joking." pic.twitter.com/cRWXVh2Y8X— Steve Han • 한만성 (@realstevescores) May 31, 2016
Well tmw is the match, 10:30 EST. My starting XI SHJ SHM-KSY-LJS-NTH HKY YSY-HJH-KTH-LY KJH :'( By the way, is Kim Young Gwan injured?
Hoping for a 0-0 or a 1-1 draw, but my head says Spain will probably win 3-0, 4-0 ish. A loss to Spain would be understandable because Korea is actually not fielding their 100% full strength team at the moment. In fact, Korea is bringing their A- team. Notably, Lee Dong-gook (tested veteran currently focusing on club) and Koo Ja-cheol (left out due to injury) are not in this squad. Just to let you guys know, this is not a joke. I'm really serious.
