reportedly 'putting down his pride' (headline of the article) and accepting the lowest minimum offer to sign for Ulsan. apparently all matters related to the contract have been verbally agreed upon and all that's left is for him to sign the contract. will join Ulsan's winter training camp after self-quarantine (spent time with family in the US).
Him and Coach Hong certainly have a past (detailed in the article) and they did win an Olympic Bronze Medal together. However, Hong also reportedly endured a lot of abuse for continuing to use Park during the 2014 World Cup where Park performed poorly. Journalist points out that Park can once again be a burden to Hong. However, the player has reportedly stated he wants to play 'one last time' before he retires.
Can any FC Seoul fans tell me how he played last season? Ulsan really needs a striker because Oh Se Hun is still young and Kim Ji Hyun has gone to the military. I really hoped that with Bulthuis' departure the club would go all out to bring in a top quality striker with the foreigner slot... I do think Park is a legend and can serve as a mentor to the younger players but Lee Chung Yong already serves that role....
