Parallel theory of Koo Ja-cheol and Ji Dong-won /Bundes Liga

Parallel theory is the rule that two men, they lived different age, repeat same destiny. for example, Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy repeated same destiny that has a time difference of 100 years.

And there are two football players that they repeated same destiny. Their name are Koo Ja-cheol and Ji dong-won(Korean fans call Ji-Koo commando) who belonged to Augsburg in 2012-13 season.

Koo Ja-cheol, he has been loaned Augsburg in January 2012

Although Koo Ja-cheol participated game, he did not catch the chance that played on pitch in First half of 2011-12 season. Because he did not have static position. So he did not show his ability. He needed transformation.

As soon as winter transfer market opend in in January 2012, opportunity raised Koo Ja-cheol. He has been loaned from Wolfsburg to Augsburg for six month. This transfer has changed his life.

At that time, Koo Ja-cheol transferred to Augsburg, Augsburg did not have middle fielder that can connect attack and defense. So Augsburg's players did not make many goals. As a result Augsburg did difficult survival competition.

In this situation, anastomosis of Koo Ja-cheol was helpful to Augsburg. After anastomosis of Koo Ja-cheol, Augsburg was different team as compared with first half of 2011-12 season. Koo Ja-cheol was linkage of attack and defense. So Augsburg restored quiet and was improved ability of goal.

Also Koo Ja-cheol scored 5 goals and was of help team. Finally Augsburg ranked 14th of 2011-12 season Bundes Liga division 1. So Augsburg succeeded survival of Bundes Liga division 1.

Ji Dong-won, he has been loaned Augsburg in January 2013

After one year that Ko Ja-cheol transferred to Augsburg, Other Korean player, who repeated same destiny as Koo Ja-cheol, has been loaned to Augsburg for six month as same as Koo Ja-cheol. His name is Ji Dong-won who transferred from Chunam Dragons to Sunderland in 2011.

Ji dong-won recorded two goals in 2011-12 season of English Premier League. Especially buzzer beater, he recorded goal versus Manchester City, was impressed to many fans. However, Ji Dong-won was up to here. Ji Dong-won was not got enough opportunity after Martin O'Neill started for Sunderland's new manager. And he did not participate game in 2012-13 season.

So Ji Dong-won needed change and Augsburg wanted him. When Ji Dong-wan transferred to Augsburg, situation of Augsburg was as same as one year ago. (One year ago Koo Ja-cheol transferred to Augsburg.) Augsburg did difficult survival competition, because Augsburg won only one game. So Augsburg ranked 18th of 2012-13 season 1st half.

After Ji Dong-won transferred to Augsburg, Augsburg changed another team as compared with first half of 2012-13 season. As same as Koo Ja-cheol transferred to Augsburg one year ago. After He joined Augsburg, Augsburg became stable and began to show a good figure as compared with first half of 2012-13 season.

Ji Dong-won recorded 5 goals in second half of 2012-13 season as Koo Ja-cheol. (Koo Ja-cheol recorded 5 goals in second half of 2011-12 season.) In particular, he recorded 3 goals two games (vs Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart) and recorded goal final game of 2012-13 season( vs Greuther-Fuerth). This 4 goals was a decisive role of survival that Augsburg succeeded survival of Bundes Liga division 1.

Koo Ja-cheol and Ji Dong-won repeated same destiny that has a time difference of 1 year. This is Parallel theory that finished happy ending.

Lee Chung-yong must leave to Bolton /English Championship Leagu

Bolton Wanderers drew 2-2 with Blackpool at 46th round(last round of this season) of 2012-13 season Championship League that held on 4th May in 2013. Bolton was not raise to Premier League by result of 46th round that Leicester City won Nottingham Forest.

Because Boltom remains to Championship League, 'Blue Dragon' Lee Chung-yong's attitude is matter of interest. Lee Chung-yong was not left Bolton at the end of 2011-12 season although Bolton was demoted from Premier League to Championship League.

In general, demoted team sells players who get high salary. Because It is reduced not sponsors but TV rights fees, demoted team does not pay salary to player who get high salary. The players, who get high salary, do not want to remain demoted team.

However, there are exceptions to the processing policy of high annual salary of the relegated team. Because the goal of demoted team is just one that is raised to high rank league, one or two player don't sell other team. Lee Chung-yong is exception case.

So Lee Chung-yong remained Bolton because he had hope that Bolton will be raised to Premier League in 2013-14 season. But the result of this season, Bolton was not raise to Premier League.

The residual of the championship league, there is a difference from that of the Premier League. Remaining in the Premier League, it has not been demoted to a league championship in the simplest terms. On the other hand, If you notice any of the championship league, can not be promoted to the Premier League, it is welcome in the league championship next season.

Another important thing is that if demoted team failed to raise within one season, the possibility of promotion was reduced below 50%. Because of it, possibility of Bolton's promotion of next season was reduced as compared with this season.

So Lee Chung-yong must choose new team. Of course, if he is led to raise to Premier League in one season in playing in Bolton it is very good. But it is an unreal.

Lee Chung received love calls from Stoke City in the winter transfer period. Stoke City offered 500 million pounds (about 86 million won) by transfer fee. In the of this case, it is possible to know the value of Lee Chung-yong. However, Lee Chung Yong is remaining on the Bolton to be royal to.

But now, the situation has changed. Bolton is not raise to Premier League and it doesn't have reason that Lee chung-yong remains Bolton. For this reason, Lee Chung Yong, will leave find a big stage that he can demonstrate their abilities.
