Jesse Lingard expressed his anger on the lawn of a paddy field outside common sense.
FC Seoul had a 0-0 draw with Gimcheon Sangmu in the third round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025" held at Seoul World Cup Stadium at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Seoul ranked ninth with one win, one draw and one loss.
Fans who visited the stadium and those who watched the broadcast turned to one place. It was "the grass of paddy fields." Players from both teams were not able to display 100 percent of their performance on the day due to the thick grass.
Lingard was almost injured by the grass. In the 27th minute of the first half, Lingard, located in the center, changed direction rapidly, and at the moment, his ankle was turned when his soccer boots were stuck on the grass. The grass was noticeably dug, and Lingard collapsed on the field and complained of ankle pain. Besides, it was easy to find scenes of grass held in various places in the stadium.
Immediately after the game, both coach Kim Ki-dong and coach Chung Jung-yong shouted in one voice to improve the grass environment. Coach Kim said, "The league opened early, and the ground is frozen, and the grass condition is not good. The players are not performing properly, and there is a risk of injury. Those up there should think about it. We need to pay attention to the grass to improve the players so that they do not get injured."
Coach Chung also said, "I wanted to play soccer that we want to do through rear build-up. I tried to dynamically possess the ball and take the attack at a fast tempo. However, mistakes were inevitable in these areas. I couldn't do that because of the grass condition. It wasn't easy for both teams."
The grass environment of the K-League has not improved since last year. Jeonbuk Hyundai also decided to play the first leg of the AFC Champions League (ALC2) quarterfinals against Sydney at Yongin Mir Stadium, which was originally supposed to be held at home due to lack of grass condition at Jeonju World Cup Stadium. Under such circumstances, Sangam's poor grass condition has become a hot topic once again.
Lingard, 안전놀이터 who was facing the risk of injury, expressed his anger indirectly. Lingard shared a picture of the grass on his personal SNS account on the 4th, adding golf emojis and anger explosion emojis. He did not post any other sentences, but it was proof that the grass situation was so poor. Recently, Lee Seung-woo of Jeonbuk and Kim Jin-soo of Seoul shouted for improvement of grass.
The main body of managing the lawn of the stadium is not the club, but the local government. This is because it has the authority to own the stadium itself. Even if the club and the Korea Professional Football Federation speak up, it can only be solved by local governments. In fact, voices for improvement were poured out on the sound bulletin board of citizens of the Seoul Metropolitan Facilities Management Corporation, the main body of the Seoul World Cup management center. Not only players but also fans outside the stadium are raising their voices. It is time for the government and local governments to respond quickly.
