Lee Seung-woo (27, Jeonbuk) complained of difficulties, saying, "I can't play normal soccer."
Jeonbuk Hyundai drew 2-2 after a bloody battle against Gwangju FC in the second round of Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at 4:30 p.m. on the 23rd at Jeonju World Cup Stadium.
Jeonbuk was dragged away when Asani scored the first goal in the 14th minute of the first half. However, it was balanced by Kompanyo's header in the 21st minute of the first half. Gwangju took the lead in the 17th minute by scoring a goal by Ho Min-seong, who was substituted for Gwangju, but Kompanyo scored an equalizer again right after the loss.
Since then, the two teams have created several chances to score, but no additional goals have been scored. Jeonbuk had four points (one win and one draw) and Gwangju had two points (two draws) to end the match with a 2-2 draw.
Lee Seung-woo's expression was not good when he met after the game. It's not just because the team didn't win. There was a reason.
"It was really cold. It was cold even when I was running. Thank you so much for coming, but the stadium was not in a condition where I could play soccer," Lee said. The match was held at -2°C on the day. Wind was also strong, which further reduced the temperature.
Lee Seung-woo said, "I want good soccer and fast soccer, but I think it was a day when I wondered a lot about how you can play fast soccer and play good soccer in this state of the stadium. I don't know why it opened quickly, but it doesn't make sense to play in such a ground because it opened quickly. I'm honestly ashamed of people who come here after paying for it."
"Even though I watched not only our stadium but also other games yesterday, I saw a lot of players stopping whenever they went to the side or the center. I saw that and thought, 'Maybe it will be like that for our game today,' but it was not too easy and I think it was a very dangerous game," he said.
He went on to explain in detail. "I can't kick properly because the ground is frozen. When I step on the ground, the studs won't fit in the grass. So we have to kick on the grass, but it keeps slipping... Since the soccer boots don't go in, I don't know how people can understand, but I can't play normal soccer," Lee said with a sigh.
"Not only us, but other stadiums watched the game on the 22nd, but I think there was a risk that too many injured players would come out. I'm so sorry that I think I'm playing soccer in such a situation where the players can get really hurt. I'm also sorry for the fans who come to see me like this," he said.
On the recent topic of the festival, he also said, "It doesn't make sense in such a stadium. You can never play soccer, put on heating wires, or whatever measures you need to take to change the grass or the ground. Run in this state. How can you run? You can never play here, and the fans' eyes are high. I don't think the fast and aggressive soccer that fans want to see will be easy in this state of grass." 카지노
Lee Seung-woo, who had previously visited Thailand, showed much better performance on the ground. "There was no problem in Thailand because the weather was so hot, but it was too cold in Korea. It was so cold while running, especially on the side and there were too many frozen parts. My whole body aches after the game," he said.
"Honestly, I can't play," Lee Seung-woo said. "It's that serious and I think I should find a way, if I keep doing this, there will be a lot of injured players and the players will avoid it a lot."
