Korea's Park admits next year's World Cup will be his last

Korea Republic star Park Ji-Sung has admitted that next year's World Cup in South Africa will be his last.

The 28-year old Manchester United midfielder believes he will not last until the 2014 tournament but hopes to give his all in 2010.

"2010 will likely be my last World Cup," he said.

"There is also the 2014 event but I don't think my stamina will last until then.

"I will devote everything to attain a good result (in South Africa)."

Park also revealed that the Asian championship in 2011 will be his last tournament as a Korea player.

"As for quitting the national team, the 2011 Asian football tournament will be my last international competition,'' he said. "I really want to win the championship.''
