On the 24th, Sian's mother posted on social media that `Sian wants to be with the director of the LA Galaxy Youth Team'I was informed of my acceptance when I heard that '," he said.
In fact, this challenge was not an easy decision. If Xi'an joins a K-League team like Jeonbuk Hyundai, his family has been worried about a different path, fearing that he will be labeled "Daddy Back." In the end, he chose to study in the U.S. and test the youth team at the same time, and challenged the best U.S. youth team tests such as LA Galaxy, LAFC, and San Diego FC.
Xi'an, who at first stubbornly refused to go to the U.S., also took the test after persuading him to `show your skills.' The result was acceptance. The family emphasized that `This passing is more valuable in that Sian's pure effort and ability were recognized beyond simply joining the team.'
Meanwhile, Xi'an is currently in the fifth grade of elementary school and is about to enter middle school. Whether to stay in Korea and join the K-League youth team or continue to study soccer and English in the U.S. at the same time has not yet been finalized.
