Guus Hiddink·4-4-2
84OVR
Hiddink's Korea. Park as the engine, Hong as the captain, Lee Woon-jae as the wall, and a semi-final that still owns a country.
Lee Woon-jae (84) is the headline. Hong Myung-bo sits behind that in the ratings, which is not the same as who actually ran the dressing room.
The honour this page is built around: World Cup semi-finalists — co-hosts.
People open this squad and immediately queue Germany 2006. That pairing is a rivalry in the catalogue, not a historical fixture unless the years actually met.

Shape
Pressing 88, so turnovers are supposed to happen high up. Counter-attack 84: the point is the break, not the concert. Tempo 82 — the engine will try to rush the game.
