"(A match) It was like a Yazan special."
FC Seoul head coach Kim Ki-dong said with a smile, "The story of center back Yazan, who was very active against South Korea during the last A match.
Coach Kim started Yazan in a home game against Daegu FC in the sixth round of the "Hana Bank K League 1 2025," which kicks off at 2 p.m. on the 29th at Seoul World Cup Stadium.
As a member of the Jordanian national team, he participated in the eighth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against South Korea at Suwon World Cup Stadium on Saturday, four days ago, and tied Son Heung-min (Tottenham) tightly to lead his team's 1-1 draw. Jordan secured one valuable point on the road, maintaining second place in the group, which is the Maginot line for the World Cup finals.
Yazan played as the center defender of the three-back team, showing off his ironclad defense and was selected as MOM (Man of the Match). While playing in the K League 1, he knows the style of Korean players better than anyone else. He proved himself in actual matches for the national team.
As he played the last of two consecutive A matches in Korea, Yazan returned to the Seoul team without having to adjust to the time difference. "I thought it would be good for him to recover since he played in Korea for sure. Still, he said he would consider himself if he was tired, but he said he would play on his own," Kim said.
Yazan almost gave away a penalty kick at the end of the last A-match against Korea. Video reading (VAR) was conducted over handball fouls, which the referee considered to be a normal play. "It was like a Yazan special," Kim said, smiling, "In the beginning, Lee Jae-sung lost a point when Son Heung-min kicked a corner, and then blocked it well later. Then, there was the VAR issue at the end, wasn't there? He said he had no memory of whether it was hit or not as he was playing in a match."
Yazan only eats after sunset as it is during Ramadan period. However, he eats on the day of the match. "I heard that the national team will do that first. I heard that I eat on the day of the match, and then I eat it for a few more days after Ramadan (only on days when I don't eat fast)." 메이저사이트
