South Korean forwards deny being weakest link at Asian Cup

With South Korea only days away from the start of the 2015 AFC Asian Cup in Australia, the country's forwards on Friday rejected the notion that they're collectively the weakest link on the team. Head coach Uli Stielike has assembled a 23-man squad for the Jan. 9-31 competition, the largest of its kind in Asia. Two national team fixtures on offense, Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors' Lee Dong-gook and Ulsan Hyundai's Kim Shin-wook, were ruled out with leg injuries, while another seasoned man on attack, Park Chu-young of Al-Shabab, didn't get the nod because of his inconsistent play of late.
