Lee left out of Japan squad
8:30am Saturday 18th February 2012 in Saints News
Tadanari Lee
SAINTS striker Tadanari Lee has been left out of the Japan squad for next week’s friendly against Iceland.
Coach Alberto Zaccheroni has selected an experimental group of only J.League players for the game in Osaka on Friday.
That means Europe-based stars such as Saints’ new signing Lee have been given a rest.
Zaccheroni is instead intending to use the match as a chance to look at some of Japan’s fringe players.
However, he could still call on the likes of Lee for the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Uzbekistan, in Toyota, on Wednesday, February 29.
How Japan's decision affects Saints - see today's Daily Echo.

Where SAINTS need to strengthen to be more formidable and also increase the depth of the Squad is Goalkeeping ...
Super Kelv - exactly that - loyal - good in the dressing room - gives his all and inspires confidence ...
8/10
Bart - has his fans and did well in JPT. Not cut the mustard in the Championship - but good stand in for Cup Games.
6/10
Tommy Forecast - deadwood and a waste of space ...
3/10
When you look at other Clubs - you soon realise this is an area that must improve ..
Kelvin needs a serious contender for that Number 1 Jersey.
RED ARMY. FIGHT FOR PREMIERSHIP GLORY.

I wonder if we should call him Chung -his preferred nickname (and part of Chung Sung, his Korean name). Nigel does and presume the rest of the squad does as as well.

You don't score insix or seven matches, even as a sub, you lose your status as impact player. No one to blame but yourself.

He is still only 24 and has every chance of becoming a very good goalie, if given an extended run in the first team.

That is why Adkins and some others call him Cheung which is a Korean name instead of his Japanese name - Lee is also Korean.
Maybe they would find it difficult to call him by his Japanese name cos it is harder to call - instead they use his Korean name which is very easy to call.
