He was part of the team of South Korea, which in 2002 managed to reach the semi-finals of the World Championship, beating in its path of giants like Portugal, Spain and Italy. However, many people know him especially for that vivid statement, but a player's career comes not only from this tournament. He was also a vibrant club life and he was able to achieve impressive results with various clubs. So, if you're wondering how there was a club career, then this material will tell you about what clubs and how successfully managed to play JI-sung Park.
In South Korea football is not the most popular sport-even now, there is just beginning to open up numerous Academy where young players can try to find your talent. What can we say about this player like JI-sung Park, who was born in the early eighties. Of course, his talent in football was seen, and he was in the Academy of the local club «Mengzi”, but we cannot say that his ability there is much developed. In 1999, on reaching adulthood JI sung made it our goal to play at the professional level, which in the “Mengzi" of the University team, to achieve he could not. Therefore, in January 2000, JI-sung Park signed his first professional contract, becoming the player of the club «Kyoto Sanga”.

Unlike previous years JI-sung Park played a whopping forty matches, scoring three goals. The next season started even better for him – in the first half of the year, he played 29 matches and netted eight goals, although he played on the position is not a striker and attacking midfielder. And now, came the time of the 2002 World Cup, in which the player participated, gleaming all the brighter. Naturally, this did not go unnoticed, and immediately after the world Cup Koreans showered with offers from European clubs, who would like to see it in its composition.
JI-sung Park, pictures of which began to appear in all the sports magazines, was one of the players that year. But he still finished the season for his Korean club, then made a sensible move – signed a contract with Dutch club “PSV Eindhoven”. He understood that if you immediately go to a top club, maybe there all the time to sit on the bench. The player first decided to prove that he can play not only in Korea, and for that he needed was a starting step. And in January 2003 he moved to PSV, where gradually gained shape, having played for six months, the remaining 9 matches. But next season he became the player coming on the field in forty games and scoring six goals.
The Next season was even more successful – after all, in his first year at PSV JI Sung managed to win the local championship, but in the second season, the trophy has eluded the club. Therefore, the 04/05 season was outstanding, as Pak played 44 games, scored eleven goals and won with the club not just the trophy of the Dutch Championship, but the Cup of Holland. He's definitely reached the peak of his career, all in Europe, admitted that JI-sung Park – a world-class footballer. So no one is surprised that in the summer of 2005 he moved to one of the strongest clubs of Europe.
It was quite a climb for a player like JI-sung Park. Biography it started in the University team without any prospects, and for 24 years he was in «Manchester United». The club bought it for seven million euros, paying two million more than “PSV Eindhoven” three years ago. And in the first season of the Korean talent immediately won a place at the core, he played in forty five games, scoring two goals. Of course, the third of them he came off the bench, but for him, it was an impressive result. However, the following season was not so impressive – the player was not included in the proposal and played just 20 matches, although has raised his performance and has scored in five goals.
The Problem was that he began to suffer injuries due to which he missed a lot. Knee failed him every time, and only in season 08/09 he was able in less than a minute to play for a year. But then began the decline – three years even JI-sung Park, the goals of which still excites the minds of fans, played for the "Manchester", but it appeared on the field in two times less than usual. In total he gave to this club seven years of his career, four times won the championship of England, three times winner of the League Cup four times – winner of the Cup of England, and in 2008 even won with “mankame” the most prestigious football tournament-the Champions League. But after three seasons in which Pak got twotimes less match practice than before, he decided to change the club residence. Two million euros for him agreed to give another English club, QPR.
When Park moved to QPR, he was already 31, that is, the player was at sunset. Nevertheless, the season he started very brightly immediately after receiving the captain's armband. But in October, after only ten matches, Pak again received a knee injury – in the end he was treated after his return could not gain a foothold in the base and played the rest of the season still 15 matches left the club on loan.
The 32-year old Korean player back to where he began his career in the European football. For their first team, he played 27 matches, scoring two goals. Such a small number of games was due to another injury, so when the pack is back after a year from the lease to QPR, he announced that finishes the career of a professional footballer. But with football he's not tied - JI-sung returned to «Manchester United», where he is the global Ambassador.
