Mumbai — In breaking news, South Korean football prodigy Lee Kang-In has decided to join Atlético Madrid and is learning Spanish just to understand Madrid’s complex subway system.
From Dribbling Balls to Navigating Madrid’s Labyrinth
While Lee’s football skills are unassailable, sources tell us that it’s the daunting, labyrinthine map of Madrid’s subway system that has Kang-In cramming his Spanish grammar. The South Korean star reportedly remarked, “I can take on Messi with my left foot, but on that subway map, I stand defeated.”
The footballer is taking crash-course lessons in Spanish to understand ‘Salida’ (Exit) and ‘Proxima Parada’ (Next Stop), terms that he hopes will prevent him from ending up in Toledo when he intends to be at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Madrid’s Subway – The Eleven-Headed Hydra?
The labyrinthine metro map of Madrid has been likened to an eleven-headed hydra, even by the city’s long-term residents. So the relegation of finding one’s way through it to a football player from a completely different continent has already started eliciting guffaws and chortles from the local community.
The Ministry of Sports has even considered incorporating ‘Navigating Madrid’s Subway’ as an event in the upcoming Olympics after news of Lee’s entanglement with the artisanal subway map went viral.
‘Lee vs Subway: The Ultimate Faceoff,’ says Local Uncle
Meanwhile, Diego Rosario, a resident who lives near Wanda Metropolitano said, “I’ve lived here all my life, and let me tell you, I’ve seen young lads come and go, all losing their way in this subway. Kang-In Lee versus Madrid’s subway, it’s the ultimate faceoff. I tell you, we need a live broadcast of this!”
