As his stock continues rise ahead of the AFC Asian Cup, South Korean midfielder Nam Tae-hee said Tuesday he is trying to stay grounded and learn from the veteran that he's battling for playing time. Nam was the offensive sparkplug in the second half of South Korea's 2-0 victory over Saudi Arabia on Sunday, the team's last warm-up match before the Asian Cup. The 23-year-old was a substitute for Koo Ja-cheol, who was mostly ineffective as the attacking midfielder.
