[OSEN=우충원 기자] There was a negative evaluation of Jesse Lingard’s (FC Seoul) advancement into the K-League.
Simon Jordan, a European soccer expert, said through Talk Sports on the 10th (Korean time), “Lingard wasted his experience and opportunity through this transfer,” and added, “It was the same in the past. Even during his time at Manchester United, he invested more time into his appearance (than his football), which has continued to this day. There is no doubt that Lingard was a great player. However, he downplayed his decision (by choosing the K-League), saying, “It’s a waste of time and a waste of talent.”
FC Seoul officially announced the signing of Jesse Lingard on the 8th. Lingard held a press conference on his joining the team in the interview room of the Seoul World Cup Stadium on this day.
Detailed terms, such as the contract period, were not known, but British media such as Sky Sports previously announced that Lingard was transferring to FC Seoul with a two-year contract with a one-year extension option.
Attacking midfielder Lingard came from Manchester United youth and played for several teams, including West Ham United and Nottingham Forest. He has played in the Premier League for 13 years since his professional debut.
However, he became invincible following leaving Nottingham Forest during last summer’s transfer window.
It was reported that Lingard was training at Inter Miami in August of last year, and later there were rumors of a transfer to West Ham. The transfer did not take place.
Last September, with the announcement that he would train at Al Itti Park of the Saudi Arabian Pro League, a transfer seemed to have taken place, but even this did not materialize.
Lingard scored 35 goals in 232 games for Premier League club Manchester United.
At his press conference following joining the team, Lingard honestly said, “It has been a difficult time for me personally over the past eight months,” and added, “It has been a long time since I played, so I am aware of the concerns (regarding me). (Even during the period when I did not have a team, I) trained twice a day. Of course, my physical condition is not the best, but I put in a great effort in Dubai. I have been training with a trainer and improving my physical condition. “Even though the end of October is my last game, I can build a body that can play well until the opening of K League 1.”/10bird@osen.co.kr
