Interview: FC Seoul skipper Osmar Ibáñez looks ahead to Sunday's visit to Daegu | OneFootball

"Yes, of course," he says without hesitation following the Round 15 win over Gangwon FC, a match that saw the young due of Kim Ju-sung and Lee Han-beom help Seoul keep a fourth cleansheet of the season but only second at home. "Playing alongside Ki (Sung-yueng), having Palo (Aleksandar Paločević) up front, attacking players are on fire and (Lee) Han-beom, for me, I think is a key player right now, a masterpiece for us.

"He and (Kim) Ju-sung too, they've been solid, don't make mistakes, they know what to do. They are calm with the ball, they're strong in defence and I have been playing all these years with a short leash because I couldn't do much in attack. Because all the coaches were a little worried in defence, so they always called me to stay a little bit here, and both of them, Han-beom and Ju-sung they're showing high levels, strong commitment, and focus for young players."

"They're getting experience obviously, but they are still young. They will make mistakes as a young player [but] I feel very confident with them or I know I don't need to not drop as much so I can play as midfield, help both lines attacking and in defence or even Ki, I can see he can also help more in attack and everything's because of them. Because they make us secure behind, we don't have to worry about this, they got this. When I play defender, this is the message that I want to send my team. Like, 'Okay guys, don't worry. I'm here. I will get the ball back, I will give it to you'."
