Choi Sung-yong (Template:Korean; born on December 25, 1975) is a retired South Korean footballer who operated primarily as a wing-back or midfielder. Renowned for his exceptional endurance and focus, Choi gained recognition for his expertise in man-to-man defensive tactics.[1] During matches between South Korea and Japan in the late '90s and early '00s, he was tasked specifically with marking Hidetoshi Nakata, who was regarded as Asia's top player at that period.[1]Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name
In the 1998 FIFA World Cup, Choi represented South Korea as a right-back. Although included in the squad for the 2002 FIFA World Cup, he did not see game time during the tournament.[2] Following the conclusion of the 2002 World Cup, he signed with Suwon Samsung Bluewings and contributed to their K League championship victory.
