Ha Dae-sung

Ha Dae-sung reads to me as the kind of dependable midfield workhorse that every successful Korean side seems to rely on. Born in Incheon in 1985 and standing a useful 182 cm, he came up through Bupyeong High School before a long playing career and an eventual move into coaching. I find these transitions telling, because staying in football as a coach usually signals a player who understood the game tactically, not just physically. He played 112 league games for FC Seoul, moved on to Beijing Guoan and FC Tokyo, earned 13 caps including the 2014 World Cup, and is now an assistant coach at Liaoning Tieren, an arc from player to coach I respect.
