Jesse Lingard for a number of reasons is well remembered by English football fans.
For Manchester United supporters, it was his astonishing winner of the extra time in 2016 Fa cup finally against the crystal palace. For West Ham United Fans, it was his extraordinary six-month loan at London Stadium, where he scored nine goals in 16 games-probably the best career period.
For many others, Lingard is best known not only for his flair outside the field – carrying bold clothing and performing strange dances on social networks – but also because of the celebration of the goals.
After scoring a hit, Lingard would raise his hands in front of him, shaping “J” and “L” – his initials – a celebration just as unique as iconic.
In a recent interview for GQ KoreaLingard, who has now played in the FC Seoul League, revealed the origin of the famous celebration.
“When I was in Manchester United, we played West Brom. I was trying to practice that celebration,” he recalled. “First, I did different things. I turned J & L. So if I scored a goal today, I would make that celebration.”
“That’s how I achieved and did that,” he added. “Many people didn’t know what was going on. In the end, I explained what that meant. It’s my later ego, J-Linz. It’s my job, Guy.”
The celebration was not the only thing Lingard talked about during his conversation – he also talked about his striking new appearance.
Former England International adopted a Korean -style hairstyle, which surprised many fans and launched some light jokes online.
“Every time I get a hairstyle, I like to brush. I have to look fresh,” Lingard said. “Most of our games are on television, so I like to look fresh. I probably get a hairstyle once a week. Very popular in England, this hairstyle.”
Different country, a new style but remains the same J-Lingz Spirit.
