One of the biggest matches on the football calendar is just a day away, and Park Ji-sung of Manchester United can make a name for himself by becoming the first Asian to play in the Champions League final match. Park was left off Manchester’s lineup in last season’s final against Chelsea, with Owen Hargreaves getting the start at right wing. But, according to most media outlets, the Korean is a shoe-in to crack the starting lineup in tomorrow’s big match. “When I was left off the lineup in last season’s final, to be honest, I was very disappointed,” Park said. “It was a different type of pain than what I felt during my two knee operations. That’s because the Champions League final match is a stage we all dream of playing on. This season has been my best season to date. We repeated as the Premier League champions and completed the season healthy.” Park is optimistic about his chances this time around. “I want to play but I can’t be sure until the manager releases the lineup on the day of the final,” he said. “If I do get the start, I will give it my all. I want to show my absolute best.” Pitted against the talented forwards and midfielders of Barcelona, Park will be expected to play a significant role on defense. Park is confident that both he and his team will live up to the challenge. “Our solid defense and teamwork will prevent Barcelona from playing to their full capability,” he said. “This is why I am sure we will earn a victory over Barcelona. They have many excellent players. But [Lionel] Messi has been the best player for them this season. If I get the chance, I will focus on stopping Messi,” he added. |
