The decision to go to Korea to play football is gradually becoming a nightmare for the former Man Utd star.
On April 3, Seoul FC fans once again felt incomplete joy even though the home team won.
At the Seoul World Cup home field, the Korean capital team had a resounding 5-1 victory over Gimcheon Sangmu. However, the audience who spent money to see Jesse Lingard with their own eyes were probably not satisfied.
The most awaited star, Lingard, continued to have his name removed from the competition registration list. For the second time in a few days, the former Man Utd star did not appear.
It’s painful for Lingard when Seoul FC plays better and better without this player’s services.
Indeed, Seoul FC is unbeaten in the last 3 rounds (won 2), currently ranked 4th on the K1 League rankings this season, 2 points behind the leading team Pohang.
In February, FC Seoul announced the successful recruitment of Lingard on a free basis. The England international signed a two-year contract, with an option to extend for another year.
During the half year since leaving Nottingham Forest, Lingard posted a series of photos and clips showing himself diligently training to be ready to come back stronger than ever.
Lingard also promised to focus entirely on his expertise. However, what this player showed in Korea was really disappointing. Lingard was criticized for being lazy and showing a star attitude.
If this situation continues, it is unlikely that any team will want to pursue Lingard.
Lingard’s career is gradually fading in a way no one expected.
