“I thought a lot about getting rid of Jesse (Lingard).”
It was the 16th. Immediately after the 2-0 victory over Jeju United held at Seoul World Cup Stadium, FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong publicly reprimanded Jesse Lingard (England). It is said that they even considered substituting Lingard, who was brought in as a substitute in the 12th minute of the second half of the day.
What upset the head coach was Lingard’s attitude toward the game. Coach Kim said, “If a player who doesn’t play for a few minutes gets excited, doesn’t fight, and runs worse than players who play for 90 minutes, I don’t think he is a soccer player. “If you think you’re going to play soccer for the sake of your name, shouldn’t you bring in retired players?” he criticized, adding, “Words are like a waste of water, but it’s not okay if they don’t show up in action.”
It is very unusual for a coach to criticize a specific player during a press conference. In particular, it became a hot topic because the target was Lingard, a former Manchester United player who has been making headlines every day. Although it is understandable that his performance is not improving due to not being able to participate in the game for a long time, if there is a problem with his attitude toward the game, it could even ruin the team atmosphere. This was the reason why Director Kim publicly reprimanded him.
According to the club, Lingard went to England during the international break after the game against Jeju. After his vacation, he and Director Kim met for the first time and hugged each other. Coach Kim Ki-dong communicated directly with Lingard regarding the previous press conference, and Lingard is said to have responded that he would try harder.

The Gangwon FC match will be held at Chuncheon Songam Sports Town Main Stadium at 2 p.m. on the 31st. This match is Lingard’s first performance since coach Kim Ki-dong’s public reprimand. It is also a game where a lot of attention is being paid to whether Lingard will be able to show a different side of himself while taking a break from his vacation.
As Lingard has been criticized for his attitude towards the game, it is expected that he will play with more motivation than ever on this day. If we can break the silence of the goal, we can change the trend at once. Lingard previously appeared as a substitute in all three opening games, but he did not record an offensive point. It is a situation where more time is needed to improve performance, and in order to shorten that time, the most important thing is to accumulate attack points as quickly as possible.
As he has shown flashing scenes every time he has played so far, there are many expectations that the ‘goal’ that fans are looking forward to will be scored soon. Among K-League fans, there is a joke that the so-called ‘Lingard bomb’ should be avoided, as the game in which Lingard scored the first goal is bound to become a hot topic in England. The underlying expectation is that he is a player who can score a goal at any time.
Chuncheon is expected to be no different from the ‘Lingard effect’ that draws crowds every day. According to the Gangwon team, online tickets have already been sold out, and only about 900 tickets will be sold on site. It is expected to be the first sold-out event with 10,000 spectators since the paid attendance was counted in 2018. Now, all that remains is Lingard’s ‘answer’ to the head coach’s comments and the fans’ keen interest.
