A video of South Korea's national soccer team defender Seol Young-woo (28, Tsurvena Zvezda) being hit twice in the back of the head by an opponent during the game was released belatedly. It was a situation that had nothing to do with the ball and was so intense that he felt bad, but Seol Young-woo did not respond much.

The situation in question came in the A-match warm-up match between South Korea and Austria held at Ernst Havel Stadium in Vienna, Austria on the 1st (Korea Standard Time). In the set-piece defense situation, Seol Young-woo was in a fierce battle with the opponent.

While Seol Young-woo bent down to fix his stockings, the opponent struck Seol on the back of the head twice. It was still before the set piece kicker kicked the ball, and the intensity was never weak enough to shake Seol Young-woo's head. However, Seol did not respond much. Since then, he has focused only on a fierce battle with his opponent.

There was a reason. At that time, the player who hit Seol Young-woo in the head was Austrian national team captain Marco Arnautovic (37), who is also a "team mate." They, who are eating the same rice in their team, faced each other as enemies through the A-match warm-up match.

Seol Young-woo was also well aware that Arnautovic had no ill will for hitting him in the head. This was the reason why he did not respond much even after being priced twice. Arnautovic's conversation with Seol Young-woo with his arms around his shoulders also meant that the two were that close.

The video was also released by the Tsurvena Zvezda club, a team belonging to Seol Young-woo and Arnautovic. Tsurvena Zvezda, which released the video on its official social media (SNS) channel on the 3rd, said, "Our players carry Zvezda in their hearts wherever they go. Zvezda is a family," he added.

Meanwhile, South Korea lost to Austria 0-1 in the match. Seol Young-woo and Arnautovic started side by side, and Arnautovic was replaced in the 16th minute of the second half and Seol Young-woo in the 37th minute of the second half.
