I went on the assumption that wearing a Mainz polo and being hugged by manager in Mainz locker room roughly = holding up numbered shirt.
Does jooho fit in the team as first choice right back right away? Edit: only sad part of him moving from Basel is that we won't be seeing him on next iteration of pes come this yr. pes 2014 looks awesome. I don't think jooho had a default face in pes. But nevertheless, will miss him not being in the game.
Left back but yes. See kicker article on prior thread. Its no accident that the main site headline sounds like relief.
Sorry for the confusion of jooho's position. I haven't really paying attention to Basel. Please excuse my ass.
i guess he has a 2 year extension option so if he gets exemption and does well he'll stay around longer.
Imho, Mainz are probably going to have a rough season. They lost players like Kirchoff, Szalai, and Ivanschitz. That's their first choice CB, Striker, and AM gone in one summer.
“Joo-Ho Park is a technically and tactically accomplished player, who has amassed an impressive amount of experience in international football,” commented Mainz head coach Thomas Tuchel. “He was a mainstay of the Basel team on the left side of defence and we’re delighted he can now prove his quality with us.” http://www.bundesliga.com/en/liga/news/2012/0000261084.php
He needs the extra thousand bucks a j league club will be paying him soon. He's got a family to feed.
from ESPN ticker: 08.50 BST: FSV Mainz have signed South Korea left back Joo-Ho Park, 26, from FC Basel. With the fee reported to be around €500,000.
