FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong expressed his expectations for the 'Captain'Lingard.

FC Seoul will play a home game against the Daejeon Hana Citizen at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 14th 'Hana Bank K League 1 2024'. It will be the first match since the A-match break in September.

Seoul is determined to continue its upward trend. Seoul is undefeated in six games (5 wins and 1 draw) starting with the Gimcheon Sangmu (1-0 win) match on July 21. During this period, he boasted seven goals and one goal, and an overwhelming balance of offense and defense.

Ahead of the showdown, head coach Kim agonized over continuing this atmosphere. I talked with the players about what I didn't do well in the Jeonbuk Hyundai match. It's important for us to continue the atmosphere."

Seoul utilizes the 4-4-1-1 formation. Ilyuchenko will be the front-line striker. Lingard helps as a sagging striker. Lucas, Lee Seung-mo, Choi Joon and Cho Young-wook are located in the midfield. Kang Sang-woo, Kim Joo-sung, Kwon Wan-kyu and Yoon Jong-kyu are located in the four-back. The goal is protected by Kang Hyun-moo.

Key player is definitely Lingard. He led the team as captain during Seoul's undefeated period. Recently, he appeared on an entertainment program and showed off his talk. In particular, Lingard promised 'Picky Challenge' and 'Dooly Dance' as goal celebrations through entertainment. He promised two goals in the ceremony 'confrontation'

Director Kim said " (Before the broadcast) Lingard "He talked about the director well " I said 'If there's anything strange after seeing it, do it on your own.'" The broadcast has started, and I'm really serious with FaceTalk to the interpreter 'It's weird. I talked a lot, but the director said, 'Why isn't he coming out?' I didn't say it as a joke, but I heard he said it because he was afraid he'd get in trouble with me," he said with a smile.

He is also a good dancer. There's a sense of rhythm just a little bit. I hope you show both today (promised ceremony). I don't say anything else. I hear what the players are saying. I thought I shouldn't talk about it anymore. I didn't talk about it. Everyone knows what the situation is and how to do it. I didn't have to say it," he added.

Another foreign player, Yazan, starts the game on the bench. It is the aftermath of the transfer of the Jordanian national soccer team. Director Kim did not choose after asking what he intended. At first I thought 'You can be very tired' I went to Jordan for three hours right after the game in Jeonju, so I couldn't sleep. I heard you trained and played for a day. After that, I played in Malaysia and came over at dawn. I thought it would not be easy, so I thought Kwon Wan-kyu would have better concentration in condition. I thought I should listen to the story of Yazan after preparing it. Listening to the story, with 10 minutes left in the last game, the hamstring was so tight that he played the game while controlling it. 'You don't really think of a team. You have to ask me to replace it. Due to the flow of the game, he said that he would not be able to keep up with the flow if the opponent came in after hitting the back space. So, it is said that he held out until the end. If there is an injury, we are burdened with the rest of the game. I thought it would be right to manage this game", he explained.
