South Korea captain Park Ji-sung says he is doling out advice to his less-experienced teammates to help them cope with the pressure of playing Nigeria in a Group B of the World Cup.
The Manchester United midfielder is drawing on his experience in the Premier League as he attempts to lead his country to the round of 16 for the first time away from home soil.
Park says he told his teammates to just imagine they are playing at home in South Korea rather than at football's marquee tournament, when they play Nigeria on Tuesday.
The only time South Korea reached the knockout stage of the tournament was when it co-hosted the tournament with Japan in 2002 and reached the semifinals under Dutch coach Guus Hiddink.
