Lingard shines in AFC Champions League. |
The former MU midfielder scored a double and contributed an assist, thereby helping the Korean representative move closer to the knockout round. These were also Lingard's first goals in Asia's most prestigious club tournament this season.
Speaking after the match, Lingard stressed the importance of the victory: “In the Champions League, every match is a big one. We had a different plan and the whole team followed it absolutely. This victory was worthy of those efforts."
Lingard’s form in Asia has been a huge turning point for the club. Just a few days ago, he reached the 10-goal mark in the K-League since moving to South Korea. After eight games in all competitions this season, Lingard has scored five goals.
From a player whose ability was once doubted after nearly 8 months of unemployment, Lingard has now become an important factor in FC Seoul's playing style. The English midfielder is also considered a football icon in Seoul and a model for the luxurious, trendy lifestyle of foreign players in the K.League.
Lingard also confirmed that he had found the joy of playing football again at FC Seoul after leaving Europe due to Nottingham Forest releasing him.
