who is showing off his peak skills recently, promised to win against Uruguay. He also explained why he was in good shape.
The Korean national soccer team, led by coach Jurgen Klinsmann, returns to the National Training Center (NFC) in Paju in the afternoon of the 26th and prepares for an evaluation match against Uruguay at the Seoul World Cup Stadium two days later (the 28th).
Korea, which had previously finished with a 2-2 draw against Colombia in the ‘Klinsman debut match’ held at Munsu World Cup Stadium in Ulsan on the 24th, is determined to win the game against Uruguay.
After the open training in Ulsan on the morning of the 25th, the team got a night out, spent time with their families, and returned on the same day.
Along with Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who scored two goals in the match against Colombia, there is a player who made a ‘special performance’. It is the attacking midfielder Lee Jae-seong. He started and played on the ground until he was replaced by Na Sang-ho (FC Seoul) in the 24th minute of the second half.
Son Heung-min’s goal in the 10th minute had Lee Jae-sung’s share. Lee Jae-seong stretched his foot all the way to steal the ball from the opponent, and at this time, the ball was deflected and flowed to Son Heung-min, resulting in Korea’s first goal. Not only that, but Lee Jae-sung constantly stirred the midfield until he left the ground. The forward dribble was also a masterpiece.
After the 2022 Qatar World Cup ended in December of last year, Lee Jae-sung is playing an active role in his second heyday. He has scored 7 goals and 3 assists in 27 Bundesliga games this season, of which 5 goals and 2 assists came after the World Cup.
Lee Jae-seong, who scored 3 goals and 2 assists when narrowed down to the month of February, was also nominated for the Bundesliga’s Player of the Month for February. Although the award was misfired, it is a part where you can get a glimpse of his presence in the league.
Lee Jae-seong, who met the reporters before training that evening, first looked back at Colombia and the evaluation match. He said, “I was grateful to be able to play coach Klinsman’s first game together. I was also happy to play in his hometown, Ulsan.”
Regarding the reason why he is sharing good news after the World Cup, he said, “Before the World Cup, my ankle suffered a lot. I had pain. So I had difficulty playing. After the World Cup, I took a break for 3 weeks and my ankle condition improved. Prepare well. I think I was able to show a good performance in the second half.”
Lee Jae-sung of ‘Cleansman 1st’ also told about what the new director ordered separately.
He said, “I have been working with the coach for a short time. So I only heard the emphasis on ‘going out to win the game’ rather than special orders.”
He said he didn’t order anything from himself. Lee Jae-seong said, “Coach Klinsman has not personally ordered anything yet. He emphasized only to go out to the game and win, and have fun.”
At the same time, Lee Jae-seong added, “Anyway, since I am in an attacking position, I think it is my job within the national team to actively press and create many attacking opportunities.”
Lee Jae-seong promised to win against Uruguay. He emphasized, “Coach Klinsman told us to win the next game (against Uruguay) unconditionally. The players are aware of that. The fans also want to win. It is a motivation.” 온라인바카라
Due to his outstanding performance in the second half of the Bundesliga, transfer rumors are following Lee Jae-sung. Recently, there have been reports that he is being linked with Crystal Palace in the English Premier League.
Lee Jae-seong said, “Nothing has been discussed yet,” and “I hope that good stories come out while doing well in my team in the second half.”
