Until now Korean football has chosen stability instead of change... Prior to international tournaments, Korean coaches usually prefer well known star players when they make a list of the players that consist of their squads.

Of course, they also sometimes try to foster some youth players for the future, but it doesn't lead to their selecting them instead of star players like Ju-Young Park. Over the last few months, we Koreans have been enthusiastic about the experimental football done by Uli Stielike, the coach of Korean international football team. 


Hong Myung-Bo, a legendary football player in Korean football history, preferred stability to change according to the existing practice ingrained in Korean football circles while Stielike showed the unexpected tactics and player appointments that made us shocked and felt a shudder.He also found a unknown player from K League by watching lots of K League Classic games himself with his interpreter. The player is Lee Jung-Hyub, and before

Stielike made the list including him for this year Asian cup held in Australia, nobody knew him well even if he or she is fucking crazy about football. The player who had to raise his hand in salute when scoring goals for his country was so immense in the Korea striker that he could be the leading scorer in the tournament.


Stielike said to the press in the past "If I selected Ju-Young Park, I could go to Australia with less concern. However, I chose Lee Jung-Hyub as a striker of my team. I will take my Sam upon his performance whether it is good or not." At last, Stielike did what Korean coaches were not able to do.
