Seol - I've figured him out

by rotherwick_royal » 16 Apr 2007 10:00

I've finally figured out what makes Seol tick - he only plays well when the temperature is at least 15C

I'm only kind of half joking too.

Which is weird, because he comes from South Korea, they can get pretty high temperatures in the summer there.

I'm not sure if South Korea is tropical or not. They might get Typhoons off the Pacific.

If its anything like Japan, then my experience of it was that it was sunny/bright without ever being hot.

I recall in the World Cup the heat was used as an excuse for our poor performance.

He only realised that it was pissing down and cold after he scored his goal. :) Then he reverted to type.

In the summer, it would be hot, very hot in some places.

But 'the heat' was used as an excuse in the Germany world cup.

Yes, but we do need to find an excuse for poor performance in every single world cup.

Yeh, I'm pretty sure it was in both.

I thought 'Heat magazine' would have been a better one for the last World Cup.

It might have been pissing it down but was it really that cold? According to the Met Office it was 18C in Norfolk that day (no temps for London).

Yes, because the convection effect when you're soaking wet will always make you feel much colder than the actual air temperature suggests.

Someone needs to figure out the reason for his problems soon or he'll be sold or most likely go on loan once we have cover for his position. Seol is a world class player, when he wants to play which unfortunaltely is not that often!

Watching him on Saturday, I think Seols problem is he loses concentration far too easily...There were times when he'd just stand there and ball watch, rathing than making a run or making himself available for a pass.

Whether that is something that can be addressed by the club I don't know, but after almost a whole season of hot/cold performances I think he'll be on his way.
