Um Ji-sung (Swansea City) evaluated that K-League players are organized and neat compared to the championship.

Um Ji-sung made a soft landing in the European leagues this season. He constantly received opportunities to play in the beginning, but did not have many offensive points. However, he has perfectly adapted since March 2025 and played as Swansea City ace along with offensive points. Once on the verge of being demoted to the third division, Swansea City continued to win consecutive games at the last minute thanks to Um Ji-sung's strong performance. It ranked 14th out of 24 teams. Um Ji-sung displayed impressive performance by scoring three goals and three assists.

Um was asked to compare the K-League and the Championship in an interview with Kakao's column "Egan's Footage Story," which was released on Thursday. "Korean players seem to be better organized and play soccer in a cleaner manner," he said. "They often outmaneuver the strengths of Korean soccer here physically," he said, revealing that the English stage has an advantage over the physicality. He also talked about the tempo. 메이저놀이터 "The tempo of offense and defense conversion is fast here," Um said. "In Korea, we attack but we switch defense faster. However, since it is difficult to attack again while playing defense, we sometimes adjust the tempo. However, we should go back to offense rather than controlling the tempo. We have to do high-intensity sprints. That's why it was the most difficult for me physically. Of course, I'm used to it now."
