Jesse Lingard, the 'captain' of FC Seoul, also had a cute childhood.
Britain's "Sports Bible" reported on the 24th (Korea time) that Lingard, who played for Manchester United, unveiled strict vehicle rules set by Rooney when he played with Wayne Rooney.
Lingard improved his reputation by playing in the Premier League and the English national team. He once played an active role in the World Cup with Manchester United, but gradually lost his place at Manchester United. Lingard announced his revival on loan with West Ham United, and later moved to Nottingham Forest to seek a comeback.
However, it was not easy for Lingard to compete to become a starting member, and he made an unconventional decision. He moved to K League 1 FC Seoul. Lingard was conducting individual training in the U.K. ahead of the 2023-24 season, and Seoul officials visited the U.K. to check on Lingard in person. Contrary to Seoul's stance, Lingard signed a two-year contract.
Now, he has become a "big star" who represents the K-League beyond Seoul. Lingard replaced Ki with the captain's armband from the middle of last season, and led Seoul to a rebound in the second half of the season to end the season in fourth place. Ahead of this season, coach Kim Ki-dong appointed Lingard as captain in a surprise move, and planted a winning mentality in Seoul by serving as a "mental prop" for his players. Lingard has scored seven goals and three assists in 31 matches in Seoul so far.
Lingard has become Seoul's buttress. He also had a cute childhood. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Lingard recalled Wayne Rooney's influence as a former Manchester United player. "He advised me not to buy a car until I played 50 games," Lingard said. "After playing 50 games, I drove a Range Rover. Afterwards, Rooney said, "Who's car is that? Did you play 50 games now?"
Lingard then recalled, "That's how I was recognized. I've never tried to flaunt myself. Of course, if you have something nice, sometimes you want to show it off. Photographers would follow me and take pictures whenever I drove in." 토토사이트
Lingard has also shown his affection for Rooney in the past. Back in 2017, he said, "I learned something from Rooney every day. His experience in games has helped him greatly, especially as a child. It's always difficult to stay strong, especially when you're leading 1-0. But Rooney knew what to do, especially at the end of the game." Lingard, who took a lot of inspiration from his "captain," is now pouring out that inspiration as Seoul's captain.
