Manchester United's Ji-Sung Park is finally back in action at
Old Trafford. He revealed how he stayed positive during his spell
on the sidelines...
Manchester
United midfielder Ji-sung
Park
praised
the innovative Old Trafford medical staff for getting him back to
full fitness and making the process fun.
The Korean
admitted to going though a hard time during his rehabilitation
after opting for knee surgery in April of last year. He missed
pre-season in a bid to eliminate recurring knee troubles and get
his career back on track.
He
maintains that if it wasn’t for the United medical staff, he might
not have made his recent comeback.
“They
encouraged me by making my rehabilitation exciting,” Park told
ManUtd.com.
“They said
a lot of good things like telling me that I would be back stronger
than I had been before. That helped me concentrate on getting back
– they really helped a lot.”
Zen
25-year-old
Park, a practicing Buddhist, also revealed how trips back to his
native Korea helped him to stay
positive.
“I went
home in the summer, and also for two weeks and then another week
later," he continued.
"That was
really nice because it allowed me to see my family and friends. It
allowed me to talk a lot and the mentality is very relaxed and
quiet, and I felt so good there.
“I then had
to come back to Manchester
and start the
rehabilitation training again, but mentally I was relaxed. That
allowed me to concentrate again, so it definitely
helped.”
The
energetic Park will now focus on forcing his way into the Red
Devils first-team as they bid for domestic and European
glory.
