I will do a translate for main parts for you guys before you read in tomorrows Uk press :)
Says in the summer he had an offer from a London club which didn't appeal to him but also an offer from Juventus but he never spoke to them as they did not meet Swanseas valuation.
Enjoying life in Swansea. Good team mates, good club and good coach.
He thinks the best midfield in the world just now to watch is PSG with Verratti, Motta and Matuidi etc. Loves the style PSG plays and hopes he can emulate a mix of Motta/Verratti.
Now that his friend Son is in Spurs he hopes the meet more often. He's went to a good team in a good position in the table. He's a little jealous Son gets to live in London.
Joking he said he came to Europe but hasn't saw bright lights of London, Paris, Milan... Lived in Sunderland, Glasgow and Swansea!
Thinks Son has shown a good progression for Korean players to Europe. Go to Germany first which is a little more easier than England and build your reputation and your game.
On the K League he knows a lot of people work very hard for it but the interest doesn't appear to be there. It's not improved much since he left nearly 10 years ago.
Him and Lee Chung Yeung (Crystal Palace) talk a lot and always talk about going back to play for Seoul but doubts that will actually do anything for the league. Thinks the Chinese league spending such money is hurting the K League change to grow.
Says he struggled to adapt when he came to England. He has a preference for long attacking passes but football has changed and the short passing game of Swansea is what teams want to do now.
Says on his first year he struggled to adapt to that and maybe went too far in reverse and started playing too safe. Now finding a balance in his game.
We need more dynamic like Ki who can do the same job except also play the ball forward.
Gylfi is getting abuse but Cork is the play maker and hes played him 1 pass the whole game and that was a 2 yard pass on centre of park. He's also only given Jeff one pass.
swansea 1-4 manchester - ki doesn't play manchester 2-0 swansea - ki doesnt play manchester 1-2 swansea - ki does play swansea 2-1 manchester - ki does play swansea 2-1 manchester - ki comes on at 0-1.
So FACTS...
When Ki plays Swansea 6 Manchester 2
When Ki doesn't play Manchester 7 Swansea 1
To me that says PLAYER - not system.
Also if you look at Sunderland the year Ki was on loan to them they played Manchester 4 times.. 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Last year with no Ki it's 1 draw and 1 defeat.
