Yes he is like one of top 5 personalities in the whole country. I don't know if there is a single player with as much clout in his country as Son in Korea.
What a load of bollocks... Son really is the golden boy in Korea.
South Korean media reports that Son was racially abused by Ole
- Thread starter VidaRed
- Start date
Even Zlatan gets scrutinized more in Sweden
In fairness he is arguably the best ever Asian footballer.
Ji-Sung Park comes to mind...
And Son doesn't get scrutinized? Son's on primetime TV after what happened.Even Zlatan gets scrutinized more in Sweden
Son probably more gifted and more televised but Park is the king if you look at what he won.
I meant that there is more of a love-in for Son in Korea than for Zlatan in Sweden.
Bum Kun Cha!
Ah ok, misunderstood.Son probably more gifted and more televised but Park is the king if you look at what he won.

I think it's more about a South Korean news org that is taking out a comment, an analogy, completely out of context and has created a sensationalist headline all because Ole is critical of Son, the country's sporting legend.
What Son did was shithousery and paints him in a poor light. How dare someone call out a player for milking it and acting like he's above physical contact that he originally initiated by leaning into/trying to grab the player who dribbled past him.

No chance. Nakata and Park are clear of him, that's off the top of my head. Even Kagawa won trophies.
Son is more marketable though, beautiful goals, good looking flair player in a social media era of the game. Although I agree with you on Park.
He is definitely marketable and a very good player - doesn't have the medals to back it up though!
I dont know, I take issue with trophies being the deciding factor (its a factor but not a true representation of skill / contribution aka best). Remember that recent thread about most decorated players. There were some players in there who's trophy haul eclipsed what i would consider superior players just by virtue of being in the right place at the right time.
Jesus, some of those tweets are fecking terrible. There are some fecking vile, backwards people out there. This stance that what Ole said in anyway promoted that behaviour is fecking ridiculous though.
Not to derail the thread, but it’s unbelievable how much xG, FIFA, & a view on how someone looks on the pitch now trumps being a part of titles, awards, hardware & tangible success in many people’s minds.
Hmm Ole needs to realise he's leading a pack of snarling werewolves who'll bite at any given opportunity. He should also take sole responsible for global warming while he's at it.
Social media man, that's the key. Son had the best goal last season.
Waiting for the FA to hand out a year long suspension to Ole and deduct 15 points from United.
Solskjaer didn't make any racist remarks. Any news media outlet claiming Solskjaer did would be wise retract and apologise.
Trophies does not always mean better players.
United should threaten a lawsuit
Not sure is this aimed at me. But I am sure none of that influences me
Don't give them any ideas.
All this aside, Ole really does need to learn the more idiomatic, less sinister phrase 'he'd be going to bed without any dinner'.
Come on guys. This tweet probably has nothing to do with what ole said. Just go check the tweeter posts of the game and even a couple of posts in here. That tottenham post isnt saying any lie at all
Ole would probably feck that up and say "I'd put my son in a coma without feeding him"
What did he sat there was remotely racist? He said if it was his son he wouldn’t feed him for acting like that. Then Jose took his comments literally like a weirdo.
Forgot about that true arbiter, the Puskas Award.
Partially as you are in the thread & are claiming that Son is arguably the best Asian player ever, but more broadly across this forum regarding how talent is viewed these days.
Sounds like Mourinho will come and save Oles family based on his hilarious presser
Well I don’t understand what XG is, don’t play fifa and read little into influencers and bullshit. So I’d like to quash that right away
Those idiots are the real hazard to humanity to throw the real anti-racial abuse movement under the bus.
You’re like season 2 on The Wire, a true outlier.
What are your determinants for your held belief?
I am conscious that this is derailing the the thread. But yes I am saying Son is arguably the best Asian footballer based on pure ability. If you don’t agree, would you agree he is one of the best?
Perhaps start a new thread.
Jose is master of shifting the focus from his flaws. His team and players werw horrible yesterday and he tries to play the victim card here. Feck him.
As for racial abuse, well people who have abused him racially should be caught and punished. That is disgusting and unacceptable. Having said that Ole said nothing wrong and Spurs and Jose can continue to cry.

In the argument, but not having any team awards effectively negates him of such a distinction.
Hope Park steps up and calls bollocks on this.
WTF is this? Is this some joke of a thread or is anybody actually claiming Ole racially abused Son?
Nothing Ole said in his post match interview was racist, not even remotely.

Imagine if some in South Korea predict Ole will die soon?
