@@thewexican1095If you watched the footage, you would see the one time Messi scored was when Park didn't put pressure on him. But you're probably a Barca fan so you may have selective eyesight
I remember watching ji sung park as a kid, and every game he was on, he was quality, and then i remember noone giving him praise afterward. Man was crazy underrated at thjetime, and im glad he's getting his flowers now that h'es retired.
Ronny is a criminally under rated CB, he has 4 prem wins and a CL, a mainstay in the treble team. He is up there among the best of his generation yet so many dont even know his name.
I started following football from 2003. Everyone talked about the treble team but it was always becks, giggs, ole, teddy. The usual people. Doesnt even know until a few weeks ago who the second cb was with stam until i heard him on Neville's podcast
He was the sweeper. On the rare occasion that someone got the ball past Stam, he was there to intercept the ball and pass it forward. He was to Stam what Ferdinand was to Vidic.
@@vinayakiyer8334yes. Ronny Johnsen was one of our main Centre Backs. Started most games for us back in the late 90s. Tall, strong, quick enough and athletic enough. Very dependable. Also, a shout-out to his compatriot Henning Berg. He was injured for the Champions League final but would have started at Centre Back with Stam and Johnsen at Defensive Midfield.
One of Fergusons biggest strengths was having a guy who could mark someone out of the game. He always had an absolute workhorse of a player following the dangerman.
He said it after losing the 2008-09 UCL. He started Park against Messi in 10-11 UCL final & Park was guarding Messi all the time. Yet Messi not only managed to outsmart him, but actually went on to grab a goal & an assist through park's defence.
@@corpl24 😂😂 that final was Barcelona 2-0 Man u. I have said the same thing. In 2008-09 final Messi wasn't guarded by Park. In 2010-11 park played full against Messi.
That was the brilliant thing about fergies sides so many underated brilliant players that helped others perform the carricks, butts, parks etc etc that era from 92 was really something so special
Park is absolutely underrated. He was literally tasked with managing entire barca midfield, which is an almost impossible task, and somehow he could still defend them, until the time Messi got away from him once, and that's all Messi needed to score. Btw I'm talking about the game Park was there
3 fine players who were very underrated although i think people nowadays appreciate Park a lot more than they did back then, Ronny and Brian were so dependable and good at what they did with no frills or flare and I say that positively, they did their job and rarely made a mistake. Now, as much as I love SAF, that for me was one of the biggest mistakes and injustices of his managerial career, not putting Ji Sung Park in that final! When he was one of the biggest reasons they reached the final, he was phenomenal in that champions league run, done a lot of donkey-work/heavy lifting that was required, the sacrifices and hard work he put in, he should of been the 1st person on the name sheet for the match, he earn it, I truly believe United would have won that game had he started and I'm still baffled as to what made Ferguson make that decision! I was absolutely gutted for him, so I can only imagine how he felt. I had a bet on that United would win and Park would score. I was thinking ok fair enough he didn't start, Ferguson probably has a plan here and he will come on at some point, but when all the subs were made, I thought that a bloody disgrace in more explicit language
He was starting 😂 in highlights u see him playing on both sides of pitch, ferguson means he shouldve man marked messi but I doubt it would help since he is great passer
He did start, both games 😂 which is why it’s a load of crap, Ferguson is delusional because he never had an answer against Messi. If Park was man marking him I would bet he would have been tired way sooner because Messi would’ve destroyed him
This video is making it look like Park was capable of containing Messi and his team mates Park started that game in 2011 and couldn't stop a thing from happening Barcelona were unreal back then We only just scraped past them in 08 ! If it wasn't for that Barca team though we would have another 2 champions leagues 100%
Are you telling me that the only thing that came out of the brilliant mind of the great Sir Alex the Boss to stop Messi in his prime was to have Ji Sun defend him? wow, shocking. I can't explain how United didn't get that cup after that sharp approach.
@@ededdneddy988 by who? Only way to stop messi was stopping the ball from getting to him. Messi also was constantly surrounded by 3 defenders and can’t think of one instance that he was in someones pocket

The closest one currently to JSP is Valverde who literally can press and follow someone for 90mins. Its crazy! People also tend to forgot JSP can man mark and at the same time bring the ball up to opponents box. Yes Kante is a machine but Valverde is the closest one considering he and JSP can be play any position and they will run mad
You could have had 15 players on the pitch, still would have lost. Ferguson insisting that the game was anywhere close, it was domination of Barcelona from the 1st whistle to the last
That’s one BIG compliment if it’s coming from the one and only Sir Alex Ferguson 🔥

Ji was a cardio machine. Scientists must study his lungs
They need to study all 3 of his lungs
"You know. If your able to stop an alien like messi, you have to be as superhuman as him"
