They will be facing some no-name team from a small local tribe village in Europe that's supposedly known for fielding tiny midgets. Can't wait to see some midget action! My team AKA the correct team: Radoncic / Seongnam - Yoo Byungsoo / Incheon Molina / Seongnam - Ku Jachul / Jeju - Kim Jung / Kwangju - Indio / Jeonnam Hyun Youngmin / Seoul - Cho Yonghyung / Jeju - Ahn Jaejun / Incheon - Lee Yongki / Gyungnam Kim Byungji / Gyungnam Vote at K-League website.
No Spanish players will be playing. No Carles, Pique, Xavi, Ini, Busquets, Pedro, Villa, Victor Valdes. Thats almost the starting eleven.
Nvm. No Spanish WC players. EDIT: Barcelona squad vs. K-League All-Stars http://www.footkorean.net/barcelona-without-spains-wc-heroes-to-play-k-league-all-stars
lol there were so many people in the airport wearing Argentina shirts..... that doesn't feel right.....
Can't believe they left Dejan out of the starting 11. On second thought, it might be a good thing cause it'll leave him fresh for the faceoff between Seoul and Jeonbuk on Saturday.
bit like when there were more United fans than FC Seoul fans during their friendly last year. the Sorry state of the K-league in terms of support.
Messi-ah doing his good stuff in Korea. Photos and quotes from Korea Yahoo Sports. 환한 메시 "박지성은 제 역할 다하는 세계적인 선수" - Smiling Messi "Park Ji Sung is a world class player who can play all my roles" Fact: When you a professional footballer coming to Korea, you always, must and have to talk good about Ji Sung Park.
Re: K-League All-Stars vs Barca South Koreans irate as Barcelona confirm Lionel Messi's absence from friendly against K-League All-Stars Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola has confirmed that Argentine superstar Lionel Messi will not play in tomorrow's pre-season friendly match against a team comprised of South Korea's K-League All-Stars. The news was greeted with disappointed groans, as Guardiola announced that Messi is not yet fit to take on the rigours of a full-pace match. Speaking at his pre-match press conference, the Barca coach said: "One training session after a month of vacations is not sufficient. I would have liked for him to be ready to compete, but he would run the risk of getting injured." According to reports, there is a clause in Messi's contract that stipulates he must play at least 30 minutes, believed to be because of marketing reasons, but Barca seem prepared to pay the penalty rather than risk a problem for the Argentine. The fact that Messi will not play seems to have been the final straw to set off feelings of animosity among the fans, who have begun to feel disrespected by the Blaugrana visitors. The Barca team has already alienated their South Korean hosts as Messi, in answering a question about his first impressions of Korea, answered "I didn't see much. I don't know where I am and what time it is. I'm too tired". Fans were further displeased when Brazilian right-back Dani Alves made the error of declaring that "Brazil played against Korea in the World Cup. They were a very good team". Unfortunately, Alves made the mistake of not realising that Brazil played North Korea in the World Cup, not South Korea, where Barca are currently completing the first stage of their pre-season tour of the Asian continent. http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/3349...oreans-irate-as-lionel-messi-will-not-play-in
Re: K-League All-Stars vs Barca Messi can easily appease the fans by making a statement about how much he loves Bi Bim Bap and Bul Go Ki with the latest K-Pop girl band music playing in the background.
I read FCB will pocket $4million from the 2 nation tour, and that a 123 people personnel was travelling for the tour! Who do these Spanish Boof heads think they are. How much can Korean football benefit from the youth development seminar they have prepared?
Don't we have any pride ? I really don't like how those barca players and personal treating us like a second rate garbage. Maybe just me who has too much 애국심 in me to tell you that I'm not thrilled to see any Koreans with their 'we love messi' or wearing a barca jersey. Or even Argentina jersey. You know what? I hope we give a Chinese-inspired kill tackle to let every big name European team know that we Koreans don't want in our soil sorely for marketing purposes.
i understand koreans wearing barca jerseys over kleague ones but if you wear an argentinian jersey youre pretty pathetic
