My Take
Jang Hyun-soo was, for several years, a fixture in South Korea's national team, and I always rated his composure on the ball. A versatile center-back comfortable stepping into midfield, he featured for the Taeguk Warriors at the World Cup and built a solid career across the K League, China, Japan, and now the Qatar Stars League. He had real passing range for a defender, the kind who could start an attack rather than just snuff one out. His path through several Asian leagues speaks to a pro who kept adapting and chasing the game wherever it took him, and I respect that durable, journeyman professionalism.
