South Korea national team manager Choi Kang-hee knows it is important that Park Chu-young can play regular minutes so his form does not wane.
The 26-year old Arsenal forward has been demoted to the reserve team by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger but Choi does not see it as a bad thing as long as he is playing regularly.
"No matter what league it is, he needs urgently to get more time on the field. I take this a positive sign in that Park is playing in reserve games to boost his form," Choi said.
In a further blow, Park has had the captaincy taken off him ahead of South Korea's international friendly with Uzbekistan on Friday before a World Cup qualifying clash with Kuwait on February 29.
