It is an opportunity to see Park Ji-sung (45), the eternal captain of Korean soccer, play on the ground again. Park Ji-sung is showing his willingness to play by undergoing knee procedures to keep his promise with his close friend Patrice Evra (45) since his time at Manchester United.

With the face-off between OGFC and Suwon Samsung Bluewings Legend team just 10 days away, "Shoot For Love" unveiled Park Ji-sung's knee procedure and rehabilitation in Barcelona, Spain, on its official YouTube channel on the 8th.

According to the video, Park Ji-sung visited a hospital that treated world-class stars such as Lionel Messi and Carles Puyol to play as OGFC players in this legendary match at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 19th.

Park Ji-sung's knee condition, which is famous for his unique activity and gritty play during his active days, is known to be in a serious condition. Park Ji-sung appeared on Park Joo-ho's YouTube channel "Captain Pachuho" in the past and confessed, "If you play one game, you have to sit for 10 days." "Shoot For Love" announced Park Ji-sung's knee condition, which is not easy even in his daily life, saying it is difficult to go up to the second floor. For this reason, it is known that he will take on the role of coach, not player, even when OGFC was formed.

However, the sincerity of his teammates who spent his time with Manchester United moved Park Ji-sung. Evra said, "I want to pass to Jisung once before I die. I don't miss soccer, but I miss you in the stadium," he said, eagerly hoping Park Ji-sung to play. Park Ji-sung also delivered a hopeful message to Evra immediately after the procedure, saying, "As I met my colleagues, I wanted to play with them."

OGFC is a new independent team that brings together legends who led the golden age of the Premier League, including Park Ji-sung, Rio Ferdinand, Ryan Giggs, and Evra. He set a goal of surpassing 73%, the symbolic winning rate of his active days, and made an unconventional pledge to disband the team if he failed to achieve it.
