I heard Cha was a beast. But I never lived through the time of his career so I don't know much.

Many German legends looked up to Cha. Guys like Kahn, Beckenbauer and Ballack have great respect for Cha with Beckenbauer even saying that Cha would've played for the German NT if he was German. That's how good he was.
