Lingard, ahead of the home opener against Incheon this coming Sunday, is training with a beaming expression.
I managed to lift the mood by joking around with my colleagues, and warmed up my toes by refining my kick.
He made his K-League debut as a substitute in the second half of the opening game against Gwangju last Saturday, but the team lost, so he is preparing even more thoroughly for his home debut.
Lingard raised fans’ expectations further by showing a special affection for the Seoul fans, to the point where he directly spoke of the ‘guardian spirit’ of the Seoul fans at his joining press conference early last month.

As expected, the fans’ reaction to Lingard’s first home game was explosive.
As many as 37,000 tickets were sold in the three days after pre-sales started. If this trend continues, the number of people attending the home match against Daegu in April last year, which attracted many of attention thanks to the performance of singer Lim Young-woong , surpassing the 45,000 tickets for a K League 1 paid game. There is a high possibility that it will break the record for the largest number of viewers ever.
The first batch of kits sold out in one day, and with the ‘Lingard effect’ hot in social media indicators, Seoul are looking forward to their first win of the season with Lingard.
