The K-League, the team facing Atletico, gathered players representing the K-League at this point. Team K-League consists of the ‘Fan Eleven’ selected by fan voting and the ‘Pick Eleven’ selected by the coaching staff. The ‘Fan Eleven’ include Lee Seung-woo (Suwon FC), Na Sang-ho (Seoul), Joo Min-gyu (Ulsan), Sejingya (Daegu), Baek Seung-ho (Jeonbuk), Bae Jun-ho (Daejeon), Anton (Daejeon), Seol Young-woo (Ulsan), Jeong Tae-wook (Jeonbuk), Kim Young-kwon (Ulsan), and Lee Chang-geun (Daejeon) were named.
When the game started, Atletico showed solid power from the beginning of the first half with tight defensive intervals. Team K-League strikers turned the ball around to find a place to give it to, but Atlético’s defenders maintained a certain distance and did not give up space. In the end, Atlético took the lead in the 13th minute of the first half when Tomar Lema scored the opening goal during Atlético’s counterattack.
However, in the second half, Team K-League’s performance revived. In the 15th minute of the second half, Anton scored an equalizer with a header after receiving a free kick from Cezinha. Atletico took the lead in the 40th minute of the second half when Carlos Martin pushed in after receiving a pass from Angel Correa.
It was a game that seemed likely to end with Atletico’s victory, but Team K-League succeeded in reversing. In the 42nd minute of the second half, Palošević succeeded in a penalty kick earned by Jerso.
On this day, a player who had a relationship with the Spanish team was in the Team K-League. This is Baek Seung-ho, who played for Barcelona youth and La Liga team Girona. Baek Seung-ho started playing Spanish soccer while learning at the Barcelona Academy as a child, and moved to Girona in 2017 to make his La Liga debut.
That’s why the confrontation with Atletico was even more special for Baek Seung-ho. On this day, Baek Seung-ho played for 45 minutes in the first half and helped distribute the ball in the center of the team K-League. Baek Seung-ho, whom we met after the match, was asked if he could hear Spanish during the game. I protested, so I said it was our ball,” revealing the specialness of facing the Spanish team.
Meanwhile, Baek Seung-ho will return to his team, Jeonbuk Hyundai, following Atletico, and face off against Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). Jeonbuk and PSG will have a friendly match at Busan Asiad Stadium on the 3rd. In the match, interest is also gathered in the face-to-face confrontation with Lee Kang-in.
Regarding the possibility of facing Lee Kang-in, Baek Seung-ho said, “I hope (Lee) Kang-in plays, and if he is injured, I hope he doesn’t overdo it. It’s a great opportunity to play against a foreign team in Korea. I’m looking forward to it.” Lee Kang-in suffered a hamstring injury in the pre-season match against PSG and Le Havre on the 22nd, and he mainly focused on rehabilitation on the Japanese tour, and missed the match against Al Nasr on the 25th. Baek Seung-ho expected a confrontation with Lee Kang-in, but was also worried about him. It was a sincere concern for his younger brother.
