This is what FC Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong said.
FC Seoul lost 3-7 in a friendly match against FC Barcelona at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 31st. Seoul finished the first half chasing 2-3, but lost points in the second half in a row and bowed.
After the game, coach Kim said, `I don't feel good personally because I allowed a lot of goals. But it's an event match. I'm glad to see the fans happy. It's a game where the players must have felt a lot, as well as me. (Barcelona) It's a world-class team. It's a team of good players. There were difficulties in airlift. Still, the first half of the defense was made as we prepared. I felt what kind of competitiveness Seoul could have in the future. You have to try to continue. There certainly seems to be a sense of rhythm. While turning the ball to make room, the speed was fast when it came up. It was accurate. There was a situation where we had no choice but to lose a point. I thought we should play soccer like that, too."
As for Ramin Yamal, who was born in 2007, who plagued Seoul on the day, "He went inside and scored in a narrow space, beating our defense." I think he is a player with speed and scoring ability as well." Still, Kim's choice was Barcelona's Lionel Messi (Inter Miami). Coach Kim was asked 'Who would you choose if you could put in either Messi at the 2022 Qatar World Cup or Yamal now?' He "It's a difficult question. I think I'll use Messi. The style is different. Yamal is a side style. Messi creates opportunities in a combination of ophthalmology and side. I think I'm going to use Messi."
The following is a Q&A session with Kim Ki-dong.
- General review.
I don't feel good personally because I allowed a lot of ▶ goals. But it's an event match. I'm glad to see the fans happy. It's a game where the players must have felt a lot, as well as me. It's a world-class team. It's a team of good players. There were difficulties in airlift. Still, the first half of the defense was made as we prepared. I felt what kind of competitiveness Seoul could have in the future. You have to try to continue. There certainly seems to be a sense of rhythm. While turning the ball to make room, the speed was fast when it came up. It was accurate. There was a situation where we had no choice but to lose a point. I thought we should play soccer like that, too.
- Evaluation of Ramin Yamal (FC Barcelona).
▶The score was also achieved. He beat our defense in a narrow space and scored. I think he is a player with speed and scoring ability.
- the goal scene of a wild man.
▶ In the Korea Cup, Yazan went up and allowed a counterattack, losing once. I've said that before. I think I wanted to score a goal because it was an event game. I think I hit it because there was space. After training, Lingard and Banks always do shooting training, but Yazan is stuck there. I think I trained like that to score this goal.
- What I told the players before the game.
▶Because they are a good team, they said they should play a good game regardless of victory or defeat. It is said that it is a game where you can check what kind of soccer you play and where you are in. It's going to be a tough game."
- Lingard showed his greed.
▶ I mentioned Park Ji-sung to Lingard. He said that if 10 players played like that, the opponent would be difficult. He said he would be able to bring the results. Lingard said let's have fun while playing with world-class players. I think I did it with that driving force. Lingard is also showing good performance in the K-League. I think it shows a positive side.
- It is Kim Joo-sung's first game since his transfer.
▶It is not right to evaluate players. I wanted to make sure which players are suitable as partners for Yazan. I think there are pros and cons. Jung Tae-wook is high and Park Sung-hoon is agile. How the two players will take the combination in the future should be seen through training. Defending isn't something you do alone. I don't think there was a personal mistake.
- If you let him play one of Messi at the Qatar World Cup and Yamal at the present time.
▶It's a difficult question. I think I'll use Messi. The style is different. Yamal is a side style. Messi creates opportunities in a combination of ophthalmology and side. I think I'll use Messi.
- I made nine replacements. Jung Seung-won did not replace it.
▶I always have a lot of greed for the game. We have had a good discussion. I thought of replacing it, but I didn't because I thought I wanted to play if Jung Seung-won didn't have a problem. It's the same with Yazan. There was a burden when the defense was out. So Yazan had no choice but to run.
