Manchester City (Man City) of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL), who visited Korea for a pre-season match, performed a fun training session in front of Korean soccer fans despite the hot weather with a perceived temperature of 35 degrees Celsius, showing the best club in Europe.

Manchester City, led by coach Pep Guardiola (Spain), showed open training in front of fans at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the afternoon of the 29th.

Last season, they swept the UEFA Champions League (UCL) championship, EPL championship, and England Football Association (FA) Cup championship, becoming the second English team to win the European Treble (after Manchester United) in the 1998-1999 season. Man City, who succeeded in achieving three crowns), visited Korea for a pre-season match in preparation for the 2023-2024 season.

Man City, who entered Incheon International Airport on the 27th, will play a friendly match against Spain's prestigious club Atletico Madrid at the Seoul World Cup Stadium from 8:00 pm on the 30th.

Despite the scorching hot weather with a perceived temperature of 35 degrees, the fans who started to gather at the stadium with a portable mini fan and cold drinks in both hands showed excited expressions at around 4pm.

The Man City team, who had been responding to the fans who had waited for more than three hours at the arrivals hall with smiles and greetings, quickly exited the airport, and appeared in front of the fans again around 6:00 pm on the same day.

Although the perceived temperature was still well over 30 degrees, more than 20,000 fans welcomed them with cheers and applause, each wearing Man City's blue uniform or holding it in their hands and waving it.

In the open training, which was released to the media for about 15 minutes, about half of the players wearing sky blue team training uniforms wore orange vests and started with simple ball keeping training.

'Monster striker' Elling Hollan, whose long blond hair was tied up with a white hair tie, was wearing a sleeveless shirt and wiping away beads of sweat, while Jack Grealish, who covered his arms from the strong sunlight in a long-sleeved training suit, occasionally smiled.

Fans were overjoyed when Kevin Debrawiner, who was concentrating on training, waved to the crowd.

Every time the team moved to use every corner of the stadium, the spectators seated nearby greeted them with cheers.

Goalkeeper training was conducted at a temporary goalpost prepared in a corner of the goal line, and whenever a great diving save was made, the audience burst out with exclamations.

In the practice of shooting after three or four players rushed into the offensive area at the same time, cheers came out as De Bruyne hit the net consecutively, including a wonderful scissor kick.

As his shots continued to miss the post, Hollan covered his face with one hand as if embarrassed.

Guardiola showed enthusiasm by adjusting the position of the players with loud voices and gestures in the middle of the field.

About six minutes before the end of the open training, the players, who quenched their thirst with water, were divided into teams wearing orange vests and teams not wearing them, and started a mini game that used half of the stadium.

A serious look reminiscent of the actual match continued, and Kevin Phillips scored with a header.

The end of the open training, which had been scheduled for about an hour, was approaching, but Man City players trained in front of the fans for about 20 more minutes, circling the stadium and greeting the audience with smiles.

The Brawinner and Hollan took commemorative photos and signed autographs for fans selected in advance through a lottery, and the lucky ones stared at the uniforms and signed balls in disbelief.
