Marchisio: I thought about working with Son Heung-min at Juventus. South Korea is a charming country

Juventus legend Marcisio is about to go to Seoul, South Korea to participate in the legendary match hosted by Nexon. Recently, he was interviewed by YouTube channel Shoot for Love and talked about his love for South Korea and Son Heung-min.

Marcisio said: "I am about to go to South Korea, and I have begun to be excited. This is my first time going to South Korea. I usually think it is a charming country and I look forward to going to experience it myself. I can't wait to play as soon as possible."

"Sun Heung-min and I occasionally send messages to each other. He is really an incredible excellent player. To be honest, I thought about playing football with him in Juventus a few years ago. He himself seems to be a very good person. Not only is a Korean boy and female teenager, but also an excellent role model for potential rookies around the world."

Marcisio's love for Son Heung-min is sincere. According to reports, during the 2022 Qatar World Cup, he served as a commentator on Italian TV. At that time, he accidentally met Korean media and asked the first sentence, "Can Son Heung-min play?" At that time, Son Heung-min had to wear a mask to participate in the competition due to an orbital fracture.

At that time, he also praised Son Heung-min: "Son Heung-min is an Asian star. He is outstanding in both personality and talent. He worked with Conte and showed a fantastic tacit understanding. Together with Conte, Son Heung-min has accumulated a lot of important experience, which will be helpful to South Korea."

During the 2022 World Cup, Italy was setting off a Kim Min-jae craze. The defender who performed world-class performance in Naples at the time was also praised by Marcisio: "Kim Min-jae is really amazing. Isn't this his first time playing football in Italy? Italy is a league that pays great attention to defense. Spaletti is a good coach Kim Min-jae met at a critical moment. Naples is a team with both physical and offensiveness. Kim Min-jae performed very well in Naples."

Marcisio, who has a deep affection for South Korea, has started to do his homework for his trip to Seoul through social media. He said: "Not only are the posts and comments full, but the private mailbox is almost blocked. Everyone strongly recommends me to go to Hanjiang and Namshan Tower, and I must try food restaurants and traditional Korean food. I took notes and made a Korean wishlist. I will definitely take time to go to all the recommended places. Thank you very much. I really want to go to Korea to experience it soon."
