Newcastle, a friendly match in Korea, “Park Seung -soo, resembling Son Heung -min”
“I hope Park Seung -soo looks like Son Heung -min.”
Eddie Howe is the 18 -year -old winger Park Seung -soo, who joined England’s professional football Newcastle United on the 24th of last month. Hui, who leads Newcastle, attended a press conference held at the IFC in Yeouido, Seoul on the 29th, just one day before the team K -League.
He added, “I want to imitate Son Heung -min when considering the position or inclination in Newcastle,” he said. Son Heung -min has an excellent speed, breakthrough, and decision.
Park Seung -soo played at K -League 2 Suwon Samsung and joined Newcastle on the 24th of last month. He became the 20th Korean player ever signed with the Premier League (EPL) club. He is expected to play a Newcastle debut in Korea. Newcastle meets with Team K -League in Suwon on the 30th and works with Tottenham Hotspur in Seoul on August 3rd. Park Seung-soo is expected to start the season at the U-21 team under the Newcastle (U-21) team, but he joined the Asian tour and wore a Newcastle uniform and stood in front of Korean fans.
“I will try to give Park Seung -soo a chance to play,” he said.
However, Park Seung -soo’s way to use this season said, “We need to evaluate more.” However, he said, “I was together for a short time, but I felt a positive feeling in Park’s attitude and personality.” He also said, “If you still have a team of (1 group) or if you remain, you may not be able to take it. But I think Park will play an important role for Korean football.”
At the press conference, the veteran center back Danburn attended the press conference. “I will help Park Seung -soo to adapt well to the team,” he said.
This is the first time Newcastle, founded in 1982, has visited Korea. Newcastle was a prestigious team in England, but it has long been ups and downs. In 2021, the consortium led by Saudi Arabian Sovereign Women’s Fund has recently emerged as a strong team. He won the League Cup last season and ranked fifth in the Premier League and won the UEFA Champions League (UCL) right this season.
“I came to Korea last evening. I first came out of the hotel today and I was surprised by the heat.”
