Man Utd's Park to notch up 100th South Korea cap

Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung will play his 100th international for South Korea in Tuesday's Asian Cup semi-final against Japan.

The Taeguk Warriors captain is one of South Korea's best players in the history of their game and will be honoured when he runs out for the 100th time in a national team shirt.

Park admitted that this tournament was extra special as it would most likely be his last for South Korea.

"Obviously it will be a great honour to play the 100th game for the national team in a major tournament like the Asian Cup," said the 29-year old.

"It will be a very special Asian Cup for me.

} "I do not have much time left in the international game. This makes me want to win the Asian Cup more than ever before."
