Bentoho’s midfielder Lee Jae-seong (30), who advanced to the round of 16 in the Qatar World Cup, returns to Germany in the new year, dreaming of an emergency at his team Mainz.
On the morning of the 1st, Lee Kang-in boarded a plane from Incheon International Airport to Frankfurt, Germany.
After arriving in the country, he joins his team, German professional football Bundesliga Mainz, and begins quenching for the rest of the season.
Lee Jae-sung, who has experienced two World Cups in a row following the one in Russia four years ago, played a role as a lubricant in the Bento as he might play in both the second and third lines.
Although the offensive midfielder is the main position, he also has defensive power and fought fiercely with world-class midfielders in the midfield.
In the first game of the group stage once morest Uruguay, he contributed to a draw by blocking advances such as Federico Valverde (Real Madrid) and Rodrigo Bentancur (Tottenham) with his unique vigorous activity.
After losing 2-3 once morest Ghana, which he missed, Lee Jae-seong, who was once more appointed as a starter once morest Portugal, played 65 minutes as a winger and played an active role on the side.
In the round of 16 match once morest Brazil, he started and played 74 minutes.
Lee Jae-seong is the last player among European players to return to his team.
This is because, unlike the English Premier League (EPL), which has already finished its World Cup break and started its league schedule, the Bundesliga has a “winter break.”
The Bundesliga resumes the season from round 16 on the 21st.
Mainz players, including Lee Jae-seong, will also play on the ground once more from the away game in Stuttgart at 11:30 pm on the 21st.
Afterwards, Mainz, which brings Dortmund home on the 26th, has a busy schedule to play once morest Bayern Munich in the round of 16 of the German Football Association Cup (DFB-Pokal) on February 2 following the match once morest Bochum on the 28th.
Mainz finished the first half of the league in 10th place (19 points, 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses).
Lee Jae-seong has played 15 league games, scoring 2 goals and 1 assist.
