The "Korea-Japan All-Time Best 11," consisting of the best players of all time in South Korea and Japan, the "eternal rival," has been unveiled. South Korea is truly a 'super luxurious member' from the offense to the defense.

On the 9th (Korea Standard Time), Madfootball, a soccer content media, organized and released the best 11 of all time between Korea and Japan, respectively. It added a questionnaire about which of the best 11 teams in Korea and Japan will be stronger.

South Korea's players were based on a 4-3-3 formation. At the front, Son Heung-min (LAFC) and Cha Bum-keun were on the left and right sides with Ahn Jung-hwan at the center.

Park Ji-sung, Ki Sung-yueng (Pohang Steelers), and the late Yoo Sang-chul were located in the midfield, while Lee Young-pyo, Kim Min-jae (Bayern Munich), Hong Myung-bo and Song Jong-guk built a defensive line. Lee Woon-jae was chosen as the goalkeeper.

While the so-called Son, Cha, and Park, who are considered the best players of all time in Asia as well as Korea, are in the attack camp and the midfield, more than half of the total 11 players are made up of the semi-finals of the 2002 FIFA Korea-Japan World Cup.

Against this, Japan is composed of a 4-3-1-2 type in which the late Kunishige Kamamoto and Keisuke Honda, the main characters of the A-match (75 goals), form a two-top, and Hidetoshi Nakata as an offensive midfielder.

Shinji Kagawa (Cerezo Osaka), Shunsuke Nakamura and Makoto Hasebe were deployed as midfielders. Yuto Nagatomo (FC Tokyo), Masami Ihara, Yuji Nakazawa and Atsuto Uchida, who were coaches of Suwon Samsung last year, were named defenders, and Yoshikatsu Kawaguchi, who has the record of most appearances (116 games) in Japanese goalkeeper A matches, were named goalkeepers, respectively.

Earlier last month, the media selected the top 18 players of all time in Asia, and at that time, Son Heung-min, Cha Bum-keun, and Park Ji-sung swept the top three in Asia. Kim Min-jae was seventh, and Hong Myung-bo and Lee Kang-in were 13th and 14th, respectively.

In Japan, Kagawa Honda ranked 4th to 5th, Nakata ranked 8th, and Kamamoto ranked 11th. Takefusa Kubo (Real Sociedad), Nakamura and Nagatomo ranked 16th and 18th.
