Even last year, the crowd came in for a while depending on the Corona 19 situation, and it’s been two years since the crowd was together before the opening.

The metropolitan area, which is the second stage of distance, receives 10% of the total capacity, and the non-metropolitan area, which is stage 1.5, receives up to 30%.

The just ended’defending champion’ Jeonbuk and rival club FC Seoul’s 2021 K-League official opening match attracted 6,199 paid spectators.

The spectators who entered after checking the fever are wearing masks, sitting and watching, and they can’t cheer for anything other than applause, but they are just excited.

[신수련 / 광주시 동구 : 올해는 직접 와서 개막전을 볼 수 있어서 정말 좋고요. 선수들 뛰는 소리까지 들으면서 볼 수 있게 돼서 더 좋은 것 같습니다. 전북 파이팅!]

[최진우 / 전북 완주군 봉동읍 : 겨울 동안 날씨도 춥고 코로나19 여파로 밖으로 나갈 수도 없었는데, 날씨도 많이 풀리고 전북 개막전 함께할 수 있어서 정말 좋습니다. 너희도 좋지?]

Last season, the number of matches was reduced, and in May, it’prolonged opening’ with no spectators, and this year, round 38 is the normal schedule.

Corona 19 must be a variable, but before the opening, all 1,52 players, including the players and officials, were negatively judged, and during the season, players will be selected for each club every two weeks and a random test will be conducted.

In today’s opening game, attention was focused on Ki Sung-yong, who had a’sex violence suspicion’ as much as the match result.

Did you play as a starter?

Ki Sung-yong, who was wearing the FC Seoul captain’s armband this year, came out as a starter.

He was a close friend, Jeonbuk captain Hong Jeong-ho and the captain as a captain.

Ki Sung-yong previously revealed shockingly that he committed sexual violence against two soccer team juniors in elementary school, but he said it was unfounded and would respond legally.

It was also in the game as it was willing to break through.

FC Seoul coach Park Jin-seop said he did not talk to Ki Sung-yong when he met reporters and made the selection list, and said that there was no special talk regarding the suspicion.

Ki Sung-yong, who was coordinating the airlift in Jungwon, but in the 36th minute of the first half, went out as a substitute.

There was an explanation from the club official that it seemed to have been removed for management because there was an abnormality in the upper right thigh muscle, and there was also an ice pack on the area on the bench.

In the hottest K-League opening game, Jeonbuk won 2-0 by tying opponent Kim Won-gyun’s own goal and Barowoo’s extra goal, and started winning for 5 consecutive years.

I would also like to hear the direct explanation of player Ki Sung-yong, but it is difficult to hear the player’s voice because there is no mixed zone due to Corona 19 and only one winner of the winning team enters the press conference.
