●The Pride of Asian
Saturday, April 19, 2008
I remember the first time when i heard the news of Man utd signing Park Ji Sung,i wasnt convinced at that time he was gonna be featuring alot of the club,probably much more to gain sales of shirts in Asia instead,im sure many others had the same tought.Yet now,he is an important part of Man utd,his tireless runs on the pitch,unlimited energy and wonderful work rate earned him the nickname "3 lung Park",and he surely deserves what he as achieved now.
As a Man utd fan,i tend to follow Ronaldo more,but now Park has become more than a player i watch to me.He is a role model to me,and to every Asian boys,he is an idol now,i look up to him and i believe more Asians will be up there in the coming years.I remembered the match against Lille,i didnt watch it,but it was a moment every Asians should be proud of,when he came on for Giggs,he took over the captain's armband,and without any emotion,just concentration and focusing,he slid the armband up his left arm for the remaining minutes of the match,i could watch the video over and over,the scene was absolute inspiring.
Always,when i was watching Man utd match,i would think what is it like to be playing in that stadium,how does it feels like to hear the fans chanting your name,playing together with world class players,scoring a goal and showing off what you have in front of the TV.I wonder if i will have the chance to at least stand on there for once.
I hope he stays in United for the rest of his career,and one day being the permernant captain of the club,then i believe all the kids playing soccer not only in Korea,but all over Asia will be looking up to him.
Park Ji-Sung....The Pride of Asians.....
I think I'm moving, , but I go nowhere
