When Arsenal bought Inamoto from Japan, people talked good things about him because he played good football in 2002 World Cup and scored 2 goals. But then..he vanished!! The confidence that Asian player can play in Premier League just also vanished.

Later in 2005, Manutd signed Park for £4 million from PSV Eindhoven. No wonder when he came, people suggested Sir Alex Ferguson bought him in order to increase shirt-sales in the Far East only.

But.. now…Sir Alex Ferguson proved that signing Park is just another masterstroke by him. Park has become increasingly important to Manchester United this season, and although yesterday’s was only his third goal of the season, his others have come against Arsenal at the Emirates and AC Milan in the Champions League.

And today, Sir Alex Ferguson explained why he signed him..

“I didn’t think that (Park was bought just to sell shirts).”

“When I went to see him play in those Champions League semi-finals for PSV Eindhoven in 2005 I thought this is a player who understands football.”

“He is intelligent and disciplined and he can play different positions. I had no issues about that at all.”

“Someone is always going to take a runner on something like selling shirts. But you could say that about every player we have signed.”

He is now Sir Alex Ferguson secret weapon!! He can annoyed all the the best midfielder in the World and make them lost their rhythm.

Another facts about Park Jii Sung..
He is the only Korean player to win the UEFA Champions League and the first Asian to play in a final of the tournament.
And… Park became the first Asian to ever captain Manchester United when Ryan Giggs passed the armband to Park as he was being substituted in a European home game against Lille OSC.
