He also said, "And I think it was a good influence of the Korean players who paved the way for me first on the European stage until now"Players such as Cha Bum-keun, Park Ji-sung, Lee Young-pyo, Ki Sung-yueng, and Lee Chung-yong paved the way really well. I was always a little shy to be compared to them. But it is an honor in itself to be mentioned with them."
