Frenkie the Dragon (FC Barcelona) said with a smile.
FC Barcelona (Spain), led by coach Han Ji-flick, beat FC Seoul 7-3 in a friendly match at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st.
After the game, The Dragon said, `I thought Seoul was a good team. I was so surprised that they gave us such a hard time in the first half. There is also a part where I was surprised to see him trying to build up and play. I thought it was an organized team. I felt that it was a team that could bring good results in Korea and the Asian Champions League (ACL)."
He said "The weather made it difficult. It was really hot and humid. I think I sweated more than usual while playing. I appreciate the outside of the game. But the Korean people were really kind and nice. It seems to be receiving a lot of love. I think I need to return it even a little more. It's not about returning home right away. I have more time to spend in Korea. I'll show you a little better."
Barcelona will face Daegu FC one more time on August 4 at Daegu Stadium.
The following is the Q&A with The Dragon.
- Are you satisfied with the renewal. I will play for FC Barcelona for four more years.
▶I really like it. This team is happy in the city. It's been a while since I came to this team. That's how satisfied the club is with me. I think it will lead to a good direction by looking at the performance positively.
- Mark Casado? Is there a change in the captain's team.
▶I still think Casado is the captain. He played a good role as captain last year. Locker room, demonstrate leadership in the team. Many players follow. I respect you. The captain's armband doesn't think too much. I hope to continue the atmosphere of last season.
- How do you feel about playing two games in Asia.
▶I'm quite satisfied. I think I'm preparing well by coming and playing against a good opponent. It's good to have a good opponent, but it's positive to prepare with two wins. I'm focusing on finding a rhythm. I'm paying attention to pattern play, etc. I think I'm playing well in the pre-season through good games.
- What kind of team did you think FC Seoul was.
▶I thought it was a good team rather than an individual evaluation. I was so surprised that they gave us such a hard time in the first half. There is also a part where I was surprised to see him trying to build up and play. I thought it was an organized team. I felt that it was a team that could bring good results in Korea and the Asian Champions League.
- What do you think of Gabi.
▶I think he has a very good ability. Mentally, he is quite strong and prepared. I think any player with this ability will be able to perform well in any midfielder position. I think he will be able to show more than what he has in the sixth position (defensive midfielder).
- an idea of Korea.
▶It was hard because of the weather. It was really hot and humid. I think I sweated more than usual while playing. I appreciate the outside of the game. But the Korean people were really kind and nice. It seems to be receiving a lot of love. I think I need to return it even a little more. It's not about returning home right away. I have more time to spend in Korea. I'll show you a better side of me.
