It might seem a bit cruel laughing at this but it is a bugbear of mine that everyone should have at least a BASIC command of the English language. Use of capitals, some punctuation, half decent spelling and use of correct words (are/our, of/have etc.) shouldn`t be too difficult, should it?

Cha Bum Kun mentioned in there - he may have a name that, in English, is dangerously close to offensive, but by jiggins he was a terrific player back in the day. Presume he is in management now? I know his son is a full international as well (Cha Du Ri).

Cha duri's dad is still a legend in korea. He isn't is managment though but is a top pundit and the person they always ask questions to about the direction and future of korean football

SOUTHAMPTON, England--Japan striker Tadanari Lee has described his transfer to English League Championship side Southampton as a "gamble," but is excited by the new challenge and believes it will improve him as a player and benefit the national team.

 

The 26-year-old had long been touted for a move to Europe, although he was widely expected to join the likes of Atsuto Uchida and Shinji Kagawa in the German Bundesliga.

 

It was eventually second-tier Southampton--which goes by the nickname The Saints and is currently top of the table--which provided the best offer though, and he became the latest member of the Samurai Blue to head overseas when he was granted a visa on Wednesday.

 

"If I stay in the J.League I can play in every game, but I want to step up. It's a kind of challenge or gamble," he told The Daily Yomiuri a couple of days after his arrival in the port town in the south of England.

 

"Japan is now aiming to get into the best four, that's our purpose," he said of the target at the next World Cup, in Brazil in 2014.

 

"In order to achieve that purpose, everyone, including me, has to improve. Maybe I can make it into the squad already [if I stay in the J.League] but I don't think I will be good enough against the level of teams who play in the World Cup."

 

Lee was a fan favourite in Hiroshima but suggested that the chance to prove himself at a higher level outweighed any doubts about moving on.

 

"I was sad to leave but everybody understood that I wanted to test myself overseas and they were kind enough to let me come to England. I have to do well for them."

 

Last year was a breakthrough one for Lee, and his winning strike in the Asian Cup final last January saw him establish himself as a regular in Alberto Zaccheronis national team.

 

That spurred him on to becoming Sanfrecce's top scorer for the second consecutive season, and he is confident he can continue to succeed at his new club.

 

"Southampton's football style is pass, pass, pass, lots of moving. That's very much my style, similar to Sanfrecce.

 

"The team's style meets mine and [head coach Nigel Adkins] knows what I'm good at and that I can fit into that style," he said.

 

"They expect good quality from me and I want to achieve that."

 

Players in some positions are perhaps afforded a little more time to settle and find their feet at a new club--as has been the case with defensive midfielder Yuki Abe, whose Leicester City side will play Southampton a week on Monday--but strikers are judged on one thing only--goals.

 

Lee is more than aware of that but insists such expectation is nothing new to him,

 

"Of course, I had that pressure in Hiroshima as well. I know that so I want to score as soon as possible. Once a striker scores a goal they can relax and continue."

 

He knows that not everything will be the same in the rough-and-tumble of the English leagues though, and acknowledges that he will have to adapt his style accordingly.

 

"In Japan it's more technical. Technique is quite important in order to play in Japan but in England it's more physical and they also have the technique and skill as well."

 

After over a month without competitive football and a drawn-out transfer because of England's strict rules on granting work-permits--his visa application was originally rejected but then successfully appealed, with Lee being granted special dispensation as "an exceptional talent that will enhance the game [in England]"--he is itching to get his boots back on and out onto the pitch.

It certainly didn't seem to be too difficult 30 years ago.
