Yang Hyun-jun dreamt of playing in the Champions League after watching some of his South Korean heroes.
Park Ji-Sung was an underappreciated, yet integral, cog in one of Sir Alex Ferugson’s most dominant eras at Manchester United but the South Korean will always be the trailblazer for Asian footballers.
“The famous Korean football player Park, when I was young I saw a match from Manchester United against Chelsea in the quarter-finals,” Yang replied when asked about his first memories of the the Champions League. Yang’s Champions League debut turned into a baptism of fire after he stepped off the bench for the final half-hour of the 2-0 defeat to Feyenoord. Within ten minutes of his introduction, Celtic were reduced to nine men and they were pinned deep in their own half with Yang restricted as an attacking force.
“I haven’t yet experienced the atmosphere at Celtic Park on a Champions League night but I can imagine what it will be like,” Yang admitted. “Even in the league games, the atmosphere is unbelievable with so many supporters in the stadium.“We will have a lot of support from our fans so we will gain motivation and we’ll do our best to get the best results we can.
“Callum always tells us that every game is important,” Yang said. “Before every game, he tells us how important it is and what we have to do and how we have to focus. I think it is always the same thing before every game.
