Jeonbuk Hyundai’s’Captain’ Hong Jeong-ho (32) and FC Seoul’s’Captain’ Ki Sung-Yong (32) fought a fierce fight in the opening game of this season’s K League 1 (first division).
Hong Jung-ho and Ki Sung-yong participated in the’Hanawon Q K League 1 2021 Opening Media Day’, held online on the 22nd, as captains of Jeonbuk and Seoul, and started a’confrontation with respect’.
Jeonbuk and Seoul will play the opening game of K-League 1 this year at 2 pm on the 27th at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
Hong Jung-ho and Ki Sung-Yong, who had been working as defenders and midfielders in the soccer team for a long time, met in earnest on the K-League 1 stage when Ki Sung-yong returned to Korea after finishing his European life last year.
In the confrontation between the two, Ki Sung-Yong recently said, “This year, delivery of couriers will resume.
Waiting for me” was a hot topic.
Ki Sung-yong returned to Seoul in July of last year, but he was not in good shape due to the aftermath of the injury and could not satisfy fans’ expectations.
In the midst of this, Ki Sung-yong was chosen as the captain of Seoul this year, and by mentioning’delivery by courier’ through SNS, he showed his willingness to show his long-term, fast and strong cross again.
Hong Jung-ho, who was the captain of Jeonbuk’s armband this year, said, “I welcomed Ki Sung-yong when he returned to Korea last year.
I was disappointed that I didn’t see a lot of play last year, but I’m happy to meet you in the opening game.”
However, Hong Jung-ho immediately responded, saying, “There will be no’courier delivery’ in the opening game.”
In response to Hong Jung-ho’s provocation (?), Ki Sung-yong said, “Hong Jung-ho was much larger in location than before.
I don’t dare to talk about Hong Jung-ho’s ability,” he said. “I also played in the national team, and he was always a reliable player.
It may be difficult for our attackers to penetrate Hong Jeong-ho, so we have to try harder.”
Ki Sung-yong, however, expressed strong confidence, saying, “Even if you know about’delivery by courier,’ you have no choice but to get hit.
He said, “For the past 6 weeks, I have trained without any problems, and I am in better shape than I expected,” he said. “This year, I worked hard to relieve the regrets of last year.”
