Jeonbuk Hyundai striker Gustavo was very happy to exchange jerseys with Neymar.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), who played the 3rd game of the 2023 Coupang Play Series at Busan Asiad Main Stadium on the 3rd, won 3-0 victory over Jeonbuk. Neymar scored multiple goals and Marco Asensio added a key goal. Before returning from injury, Neymar played full-time. Lee Kang-in was also substituted in the 24th minute of the second half and showed Korean fans the appearance of walking around the ground wearing a PSG uniform.스포츠토토

Jeonbuk, which had to play against Incheon United in the 25th round of the K-League 1 three days later, used a wide range of players that day. The lineup for the first and second half was completely different, and many players were replaced at the end of the second half, giving several players a chance. Gustavo entered the game at the start of the second half and finished the game after digesting about 38 minutes.

Gustavo, who was interviewed in the mixed zone (joint coverage area) after the game, said, “I was very excited. It was a special opportunity, so I enjoyed the opportunity in the stadium and tried to show what I had to the fullest.”

One of the concerns after the game that day was the exchange of uniforms. Players often commemorate the game by exchanging uniforms with opponents after the game, and the competition for uniform exchange is fiercer for star players. Among PSG players, Neymar’s uniform was popular. The day before the match, captain Hong Jeong-ho said that Moon Seon-min was aiming for him.

As a result, it was Gustavo who changed uniforms with Neymar. Taking advantage of being from Brazil, he quickly preoccupied the uniform. Gustavo said, “Before the match, we had a short conversation. We wished each other happiness and hoped for the future. We exchanged uniforms and took pictures. This is not a common opportunity. I am happy.”

He then expressed his joy, saying, “The competition was very fierce. In fact, almost all players were aiming for it, but I got it. Thank God.”
