On the afternoon of January 23, Seoul FC played a friendly match with The Cong Viettel at the Vietnam Youth Football Center. This was a closed practice match with 4 rounds (each round lasting 35 minutes), concluding the 2-week training trip of the Korean team in Vietnam.
"It's too hard," Jesse Lingard, Seoul FC captain, said in a post-match interview. The former Man Utd player and his Seoul FC teammates have just undergone heavy training days to maintain their fitness during the break. The high volume and intensity of training is the reason why Lingard said it was difficult.
Jesse Lingard came to Vietnam to train with Seoul FC.
The Korean National Championship (K-League) has ended its 2024 season. However, Seoul FC will soon return to compete in the AFC Champions League. Therefore, Jesse Lingard's team decided to come to Vietnam for training.
