Asian Best 11

[wassupjm]

This is just my personal opinion.

4-4-2

------------------ Ahn Jung-Hwan------------- Naohiro Takahara--------

Shinji Ono------------------ Nakata Hidetoshi------------ Park Ji-Sung

---------------------------------- Juinichi Inamoto-------------------------

Lee Young-Pyo---- Sun Ji Hai -- Hong Myung-Bo--Song Chong-gug

--------------------------------Lee Woon-Jae------------------------------

Most of these are players only from the world cup. Obviously Korea and Japan produced the most players becuase they've shown solid results. However, Saudi Arabia and China were very disappointing and I've only added Sun Ji Hai from China.

I personally think Japan has skillful midfielders whereas Korea has a solid defense. Although Hong has retired from the national team, he still plays in LA Galaxy. Lee and Song are both playing in Holland showing great talent. Japanese midfielders like Ono, Nakata, and Inamoto are definitely world-class. Especially Nakata!

The forward line is Ahn-Takahara. I thought Ahn could even play as a 'shadow-striker' behind Takahara, building up chances and even scoring goals himself. His position would be similar to Rui Costa and Raul's. Takahara recently made it to the German Bundesliga scoring a goal against Kahn. Although we don't hear much from him now, I still think he is a skilled striker. He is definitely better than Suzuki or Yanagisawa.

inamoto is overrated...ono and nakata is better

[murat]

agreed

[Jeegeh77]

Like Son said,...he's overrated.

Plus JAPan lost yesterday to their "Friendly" match to S Korea in the Tokyo National Stadium.

I even heard the Red Devils cheerd louder than the Japanese fans.

It's weird though. Japan won in April of this year...in Korea....and Korea won yesterday in Tokyo. Weird trend huh?

[cyber_tyrant]

Ahn Jung Whan is the best South Korean player. Hidotoshi Nakata is best Japanese player.

[lazioist]

Don't you see Li Tie's outstanding performce in England,
so i think Li Tie is the best DM is Asia

[cyber_tyrant]

I don't think so! :ronaldo:

[mingyuan]

Li Tie is a long-distance runner on the field.
but i think Hao Haidong should on the list as a forward (go cheak FIFA's ranking, he is at the position of 15th in the whole world)

[david17]

wot the hell ? only 1 chinese player ? ?
need to have

Sun Ji Hai
Zheng Zhi (really good young player)
also
Yang Chen instead of Ahn Jung Whan

[nzbm]

I think the preceding combinations are pretty good. Go Nakata!!!!

[david17]

ono is gonna surpass nakata soon. maybe in one or 2 years time

inamoto is way better as DMC, he can even score and pass the ball to where he wants.

Li is just really fit.

[nzbm]

I agree there is alot of up-and-coming talent in Asia.

[david17]

[nzbm]

[bestengda]
