Choi Young-il (Korean: 최영일; Hanja: 崔英一; born 25 April 1966) is a South Korean former footballer who played as a defender. He played most of his club career for Ulsan Hyundai Horang-i, and represented South Korea at the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cup.
Style of play[edit]
Choi's tackles were far from fair, but were effective at defending against strong opponents, especially the legendary Kazuyoshi Miura of Japan. Hence, he became known among Japanese fans as "The Shadow of Kazu".[1]
