Jus katak tonik mujarab Ji-Sung

Rasa teruk, tapi minum jadi kuat

LONDON: Park Ji-Sung (atas) men­dedahkan betapa jus katak adalah ramuan rahsia di sebalik kejayaannya mengelilingi segenap pelusuk padang yang menjadikan pemain Korea Selatan itu sebagai kunci Manchester United dalam usaha menewaskan Barcelona pada final Liga Juara-Juara Eropah, esok.

Larian bertenaga Park menjadi kunci penting dalam resipi kejayaan direncanakan menentang juara Sepanyol di Wembley, tetapi ia adalah ramuan pahit itu yang menjadi asas kepada peningkatan pemain tengah itu.

 Selepas menunjukkan bakat bola sepak ketika kanak-kanak, perkembangan Park dilihat terbantut kerana dia tidak memiliki tubuh fizikal diperlukan menangani keperluan pemain bola sepak di peringkat tertinggi.

Dalam usaha mempercepatkan perkembangan Park, ayahnya akan membuat perjalanan jauh dari rumah di Suwon ke wilayah Go-heung. Dia akan mengunju­ngi ladang katak mengumpulkan bahan bagi minuman protein pelik itu.

Apabila pulang ke rumah, jus katak itu akan direbus sebelum ditelan semuanya oleh Park.

Park mengakui jus itu menjijikkan tetapi remaja bertubuh kurus sanggup melakukan apa-apa dalam usaha menjadi pemain bola sepak.
"Ayah saya pergi menangkap katak liar. Saya bertubuh kurus dan lemah dan ayah saya mendengar bahawa jus mereka akan memberikan saya kekuatan dan membesarkan saya," kata Park.

"Ia rasa begitu teruk tetapi saya perlu minum kerana saya mahu menjadi pemain bola sepak dan semua orang berkata saya perlu menjadi lebih besar dan kuat. Mereka berkata ia adalah bagus untuk kesihatan dan saya sanggup makan apa-apa untuk meningkatkan kesihatan saya." - AFP

UNITED MUST SIGN BASTIAN: BALLACK

MICHAEL BALLACK has told Manchester United to sign Bayern Munich superstar Bastian Schweinsteiger.

Midfielder Ballack, 34, left Chelsea in the summer to move to Bayer Leverkusen after helping the Blues see off United's challenge to claim a league and FA Cup Double.
But the Germany ace reckons his international team-mate would be the perfect recruit to help boost the Red Devils' ageing squad.
Schweinsteiger, 26, was one of the stars of the World Cup and helped lead the Germans to the semi-finals of the South Africa showpiece.
Yet with his contract at the Allianz Arena set to expire in 18 months time, a move to Old Trafford could appeal to the talented playmaker.
Ballack said: "Bastian has taken on the responsibility placed in him and is now in a phase when he is looking to reach the zenith of his career.
"He took a huge step forwards at the World Cup. He has presence, authority, personality, performance and goals. He has everything.
"Only he will be able to feel what is right for him for the future.
"Every footballer is attracted to certain things and Bastian will feel these also but there are not that many big clubs around and Bayern is one of them.
"But on the other hand, Real Madrid or Man United are both attractive and he would fit in well at both clubs."

NANI FIT FOR CITY CLASH

NANI is fit for the Manchester derby.

 

The Portuguese winger, 24 next Wednesday, went off in the first half of United's Champions League win over Bursaspor last week with a groin strain but will face City at Eastlands tonight.
Ryan Giggs is battling to overcome a hamstring problem.
But Nani's news will be a major boost to Alex Ferguson as he counts the cost of a flu virus that has swept through the United camp - it even laid the boss low last Friday.
Fergie admits he needs to check the Old Trafford sickbed before making any decisions about his team.
He said: "It is not a great position for us to be in. We are counting heads at the moment.
"We've still got some players out with flu and we've sent some home.
"But we have a strong squad. We just carry on.
"I've no idea where to begin with my team, no ideas at all. Hopefully by Wednesday we'll be better.
"But there seems to be a lingering aspect to this virus and there's nothing we can do about it.
"We're getting there and I'm OK now."
