FC Seoul's 'Captain' Jesse Lingard smiled at the reunion with his old colleague.

FC Seoul, led by head coach Kim Ki-dong, played a friendly match against FC Barcelona (Spain) at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on July 31.

One of the highlights of the day was Lingard-Marcus Rashford (FC Barcelona) 'Best Friend vs. The two are former Manchester United youth and also made their professional debut at Manchester United. The British media BBC also drew attention to the extent that it conveyed the clash between the two.




On this day, Lingard started wearing Seoul's captain's armband. Rashford, who started on the bench, was put in at the start of the second half. Rashford greeted Lingard with a brief slap in the palm as he ran out to the ground. After the game, we met with a smile and exchanged friendships. Lingard waited for Rashford between teammates and both team locker rooms. When Rashford came out, we met happily and greeted him, talked for a long time, and received a uniform.

Lingard did not talk about anything special in the mixed zone interview " (with Rashford). It's been so long since I saw this friend. We talked about things we couldn't do. For a long time, I didn't see Rashford running with a smile on his face. I personally liked it because I came to Barcelona and saw him play happily today. If you continue to play soccer with a smile, I expect you to be a player who can show great performances enough."

Seoul lost to Barcelona 3-7. It was tied 2-2 at one point in the first half, but it was shaken in the second half. Lingard tried to score, but it didn't come true. After the game, Seoul coach Kim Ki-dong mentioned Park Ji-sung to Lingard. He said that if 10 players played like that (like Park Ji-sung), 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 I'm showing positive side of myself", he explained.

Lingard said "It was a very pleasant game, but it was also tough. With fast tempo, players with good skills made us play a lot. It was a tough game overall. Three goals against the best team in the world. I think it was a good experience for our players. I think it must have been a good memory, especially for young players."

On the other hand, I think anyone would know that Lingard is such a good player that he is nominated for the Ballon d'Or, saying of Ramin Yamal, born in 2007, who scored multiple goals. It tells you how outstanding a player is in itself. I can tell you that in the next two or three years, I will be one of the best players in the world."
