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," Seoul FC captain Jesse Lingard said in a post-match interview. The former Man Utd player and his Seoul FC teammates have just gone through days of heavy training 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.
