The forgotten stars of South Korea, Ahn Jung-hwan and Lee
Chun-soo could still play a part in the 2010 World Cup.
The stars of the 2002 and 2006 tournaments have nor featured in the national team since 2008 but have been told by coach Huh Jung-moo not to give up hope.
"Ahn Jung-hwan and Lee Chun-soo will not be ignored," Huh told Ilgan Sports.
"They have much experience between them. The players are special assets to Korean football. They're players who can adjust and do their share of work even if they are called upon later."
"They are still on the reserve list (for the World Cup)."
Ahn, who scored the goal that knocked out Italy in 2002, is currently on the books of Chinese team Dalian Shide.
The 33 year-old also scored the winning goal against Togo in 2006 but has rarely played for this country since.
Lee plays in Saudi Arabia with Al Nasr.
