It was the World Cup season, and while games were played nonstop in the sweltering heat, he complained that the health of the players was not considered in the schedule for the All-Star game once morest Tottenham.
As it shakes the K-League in many ways, expectations were high that he would be on the national team for the first time in three years, but Lee Seung-woo was not in the East Asian Cup roster announced by Bento today (11th).
Because it was not a competition organized by the International Football Federation, where European players were missing, coach Bento gave a chance to five new faces instead of choosing Lee Seung-woo.
While focusing on finding alternatives to the existing national team resources given the possibility of injuries, it was not included in Bento’s plan for now.
But footballers say that Seungwoo Lee still has a chance.
There are regarding three months left until the submission of the final roster for the tournament, and from this tournament, the final roster of 26 people, which has increased by three, can be formed, so his performance in the second half of the year is expected to influence Seung-Woo Lee’s World Cup.
