The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is.
While foreign media selected five of Asia's best players in the 21st century, Japan's Shinji Kagawa ranked second, pushing Park Ji-sung to third place.
Of course, No. 1 ranking is Son. Considering Son's outstanding performances at Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League over the past decade, and his skills that he proved in three World Cup finals, it is not surprising that Son will rank atop.
The problem was the second place. Although Kagawa played for Manchester United like Park Ji-sung, he only played for two years, and his subsequent moves were uncertain.
It cannot be compared to Park Ji-sung, who survived for seven years in a lot of competition at Manchester United and lifted various championship trophies.
A-match performances such as the World Cup are also the same.
The global soccer media "Score 90" released five of the best players of the 21st century on social networking services (SNS) on the 16th (Korea time). It was divided into Europe, South America, North and Central America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Australia was incorporated into the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in 2006, but the media was originally put in Oceania, the continent.
In Asia, Korean and Japanese players were divided.
While Son Heung-min took the top spot, Kagawa came in second and Park Ji-sung came in third. Japanese striker Keisuke Honda came in fourth and Japanese soccer's proud playmaker Hide City Nakata came in fifth.
We have no choice but to cast doubt on Park's ranking and Kagawa's. Fans are also protesting, saying, "Park Ji Sung >>> Kagawa."
After advancing to the semifinals at the 2002 World Cup Korea-Japan, Park advanced to the European stage through PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands in 2003. He advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Champions League in 2005 and scored a goal in a home game against AC Milan in the semifinals.
He then played for Manchester United for seven years and Queens Park Rangers (QPR) for a total of eight years in the Premier League.
Kagawa rightly left a deep impression by advancing to Borussia Dortmund in Germany from 2010 to 2012, scoring 29 goals in 71 matches. He then went to Manchester United thanks to his stellar performance.
However, his performance in the Premier League, which is considered the best stage, is humble. He has shown nothing but scoring a hat trick in the Premier League for the first time in Asia. He has scored six goals in 57 matches for Manchester United, of which only three are Premier League goals.
In terms of A-match performance, Kagawa also advanced to the round of 16 at two World Cups in 2010 and 2018, but Park Ji-sung has a record of semifinals at the Korea-Japan World Cup and a round of 16 at the South African World Cup.
Although Park Ji-sung's only contribution to the victory as a key member of the Japanese national team at the 2011 Qatar Asian Cup is not achieved, Park Ji-sung is one level higher than Kagawa in terms of his overall achievements in the European stage and the A match.
Kagawa returned to Dortmund after failing at Manchester United, but failed to show his old skills. In the end, it can be said that everything that glistened during the first Dortmund period is all.
In addition, Honda and Nakata ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
Honda's proudest achievement is that it scored a total of four goals in all three World Cup finals. In the meantime, Honda made it to the round of 16 teams twice.
However, except for three years with AC Milan, he had never played in a big league in European leagues. Prior to joining AC Milan, he played in the Netherlands and Russia. He was well-known as a starting member of Spartak Moscow, a prestigious Moscow club in Russia, but technically played for one of the best teams in Eastern Europe. 안전놀이터
Nakata is a very good midfielder, but his heyday was in 1998 when he played for Italian Serie A club Perugia. After two years of tremendous performance for Perugia, he failed to find a foothold after moving to AS Roma in 2000.
He was kicked out of Rome, played for Parma and Fiorentia, then retired in 2006 at the age of 29 after his last career with Bolton in the Premier League.
Nakata was, strictly speaking, an outstanding player in the 20th century, not one of the 21st century.
Wouldn't it have been more appropriate to include Ki Sung-yueng, who once had the record of most goals scored in a single Premier League season by playing in the Premier League for seven years, and Kim Min-jae, who is now active in Bayern Munich.
