Arsene Wenger: Why you will see more of Chu Young Park

The Gunning Hawk - ForumArsene Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed that striker Chu Young Park will get more chances, in his regular formation.

Speaking to Arsenal Player ahead of Saturday’s away game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, the Frenchman started by saying that the Gunners should be proud after battling their way past Bolton Wanderers in the Carling Cup as it shows that the players possess the mental strength to recover from a one goal deficit and win games.

Asked about the performance of the South Korean, the Arsenal boss admitted that the 26-year old needed to play and to score adding that he is a very intelligent player who will of course feature again for the Gunners.

On the Bolton win and Park, Wenger said:

For a competition we are supposed to neglect, [reaching the Quarter Finals] is not too bad, of course when you look at the big names that are in there, it starts now to be very competitive.

But we played against a good Bolton side, we were one-nil down but showed the spirit and came back to win the game two-one and that will increase the level of confidence in the team.

[A super finish from Park?] He personally needed that of course but I believe, when new players arrive to the Club you need to convince people that you have the quality to be where you are.

Many people think that unless you are coming with a massive transfer, you know, if his transfer was massive and he scored the goal he scored, everybody would be full of what he achieved.

So let’s just wait for him to show that he has the level to be at Arsenal Football Club and certainly the goal will help him to gain confidence.

[If the goal helps his regular-team cause?] Well, Park arrived on the 31st of August, we are today end of October, that’s two months.

Thierry Henry started to play in November and arrived earlier so it takes some time to settle. He is a quality player, we see that in training.

He’s a very intelligent player and that came out in the game. So overall, I believe you will see more and more of Park.

    Not to question the Professor..but wasn’t the point of buying five experienced players in the dying hours of the transfer window to be able to slot them right into the team? I’m a little baffled by the whole Park saga. Because of mandatory military service he was only ever able to play for two and a half seasons, and he’s already two months into his Arsenal career, and has yet to feature in a league game. Call me cynical, but I’m beginning to serious doubt whether the hassle of acquiring this fella was worthwhile..hopefully he’ll prove me wrong in the upcoming months.

    • Feeno says:

      even an experienced playercan take time to settle, utter madness to think otherwise

  • Cc says:

    Play park alongside Rvp for chelsea game & play arshavin & gervinho on the wings.We will destroy the stamford bridge!!

    • Unbeaten 49 says:

      I don’t think he’s gonna change his one striker formation, anyway his second choice is Chamack

    • Rookie says:

      that leaves the midfield too weak. the professor knows what he is doing.

    • Gunnerrob says:

      If he plays in the same side as RVP it will be on the wing. There’s no chance of us playing 4-4-2, it just doesn’t suit our style of play and weakens our midfield.

  • Duke says:

    He can play anybody provided we win the match on saturday period.

  • sam says:

    arshavin had a good game on tuesday please bench for him on saturday and play him against marseille. 2 games in a week for him won’t work and we all know he won’t perform.
    maybe a sub role in the second half but full rest will help him

  • Mohd Shah says:

    I believe RVP will be heavily marked.Don’t forget Chelsea have speedy players and don’t indulge in marathon passing. If the gunners defenders join in the attack with a hdl,it would play right inot Chelsea’s game plan.
    Wenger must play anti soccer and hit on the break. If he goes all out in attack torres and company will just have the time and space.on’t forget rogba destroye Arsenal because Wenger ignored the basics of defending.

  • Elkieno says:

    Drogba is suspended and we haven’t lost when he doesn’t play so hey?
    Forgot ur name but I call u cynical.
    Park needs to take time and when military service comes, we can buy him out of it. Quietly confident!

  • Bouba says:

    Thank you Matty for your input… What’s the point of buying the captain of South Korea if you don’t play him…!!

    What’s the point of messing up future relations with Lille ( the Hazard deal will never happen… The president of Lille confirmed it and said he will never sell a player to Arsenal ), if you don’t play him…!!

    Anyway, we need Park and Benayoun to play more games ( especially when we have Walcott performing so greatly :-) … Yes, sarcasm… he is less than mediocre )

    On top of that, he is known to be a lethal finisher… So what is Wenger doing? Again?

  • LA Goon Squad says:

    Park is QUALITY…I know there are a lot of fans– it seems like they’re all my friends who say that, “well he scored against POLAND and UAE…he should score against those teams.” LMAOF…Quality is Quality no matter who you play against. Park can score goals against WEAK International Teams, and so called PHYSICAL EPL teams. He knows how to adjust in a game. They got physical with him early on, so he picked up the ball more in the midfield. Smart, intelligent player, who changed tactics to put the defense on their heels. The guy scores goals. I’ve re-watched his performances during the WC. He’s quality. The only sad thing is he’ll be gone in 2 years– unless the Gunners WIN SOMETHING.
