Why are so many J-Leaguers even being considered for the WC? I can't take a league serious where JHS is captain and scrubs like JWY or HEJ keep scoring goals No to JHS, too. He's only in STY's squad because he played at the Olympics, there are no other reasons. Ridiculous as KMH from the same team is way better than him but never gets a chance (just like SHJ or KKW).
Good question. But we just have to accept JHS. He seems to be everyones favourite for some reason.. The others meeh. Well its hard when all your goalies are there.
It's the selected J-leaguers that are given the chance by STY that is the problem. First problem is that STY is shitty when it comes to player selections. Second problem is that he is reluctant to give other players a try. Hard to judge other players when they are not given the chance, and most of us don't even watch the league for us to come up with an evaluation.
Jung WY is good player.. granted, he should be a rotational/backup. For KNT, he is asked to be something he is not + will never be. Shame he is poorly utilized by KNT managers edit - btw, Lee DG & Kim SW continues to score goals for fun in K league (as did guys like Hwang EJ & Yang DH before they transferred). Do you take K league seriously?
Umm...Hwang Eui-jo struggled to score against K2 sides. With that kind of logic, I can say the same thing about Yohei Toyoda with Ulsan and how he can't score for crap while being so prolific in the J. League. Do you still take the J. League seriously? It doesn't matter if Hwang Eui-jo plays in the J. League. He has been given a handful of chances with the national team before and he has failed to produce. It's funny how you didn't rate him at all when he was playing in Korea, but you suddenly rate him now because he plays in Japan. Takeuchi, your agenda against the K-League is way too obvious. Whether it's on BSK or Twitter.
He also had one good season in K league. What he is currently doing for awful Gamba team is no different. At the same time, that doesn't mean you shouldn't take J League or K league seriously. Judge the player instead of generalizing a league based on few selective players. Btw, I never liked Hwang EJ & I still don't. I do not want him near KNT at all... My disgust for Hwang EJ well established in this forum.. if I'm not mistaken. As for Toyoda, yes.. he scored goals for fun in J League but never did I want him to play for JNT.
Never understood the idea of Kim Min-hyeok being ignored and not getting tested out. Last I recall, he was playing fine and in-form, I mean the amount of times Shin Tae-yong was in Japan to check on the J-Leaguers, Kim Min-hyeok should've been an automatic pick no? Shin Tae-yong's fetish is getting out of control.
Hwang Eui-jo struggled in K2 and with the national team respectively. I don't care if he's doing good in J-League because it's all a fluke, come national team and it's the same struggle all over again. Give up your WC dreams man, you ain't going to Russia.
Tbf, he isn't the only manager guilty of it for KNT. Imo, KFA doesn't scout J League. Majority of the players they call up from J League (mostly just the GKs) are based on reputation they gained from K League, KFA youth and so forth (i mean, they even tested Song JH of Niigata). Those who started their careers in J League, it takes them years of good work/season for them to get recognized (but after their peak.. which is a shame imo) or just ignored in general. Anyways, the hope on Suk HJ is fruitless. He won't be selected (wasn't selected once since Shin TY took over.. even when he was doing well & healthy).
Nah. JWY sucks. Never seen a good game of him in the NT. Don't come with the excuse that he's being used wrongly (I guess you mean he should be used as a deep lying playmaker, instead of defensive midfielder). He has played Ki's part a few times and was terrible. Might be decent on Asian level, but on international level, he's too slow, not a great defender, lazy (how many times I've gotten angry about seeing him walking around) and his supposed strength which are long balls and free kicks are nothing special when facing real opponents. What else has he shown for the NT besides his one class free kick?
He had his few good games against low tier Asian teams in the "Ki" role but I agree with your opinion. Decent on Asian level but that's true for practically everyone on current KNT squad except for few players (such as Ki & Son). It is more of what he has done compared to his competition in the squad in unfamiliar role they are forced to play as Ki SYs partner in midfield.
Angers SCO interested in Suk Hyun-jun? Angers lorgne sur Suk Hyun-jun https://t.co/hfbeKs8SUR pic.twitter.com/8hyQiKBckO— L'ÉQUIPE (@lequipe) May 26, 2018 Comme révélé par Hugo Delom dans @lequipe, je vous confirme que le Sud-Coréen Hyun-Jun #Suk (6 buts cette saison en L1) plaît beaucoup au @AngersSCO ! Il est sous contrat jusqu'en 2020 avec #Porto. ⚽🇰🇷📝@FCPorto_Fr @LaDalleAngevOFF @partisanstroyes @KLeagueFr— Tanguy Le Seviller (@TANG_Foot) May 26, 2018
I'd be really interested what his military plans are. Maybe he wants to do normal service after retiring? (Is that even possible?)
Suk signs a three year deal with Troyes... there are many things I cannot understand, as they say they exercised an option which is confusing as I thought his Porto deal was done, and it also looks like they might resell him too http://www.estac.fr/actualites/20050/option-levee-pour-suk.html
I guess it allows for him to know he has a place in Europe regardless of AG situation and still have some upside if a team comes calling.
