Team K-League, a professional soccer K-League selection team led by Jeonbuk Hyundai coach Kim Sang-sik, lost 3-6 in a friendly match against England’s Tottenham Hotspur held at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on the 13th.

However, on this day, Seung-woo Lee started and was substituted with Lars (Suwon FC) in the 32nd minute of the first half without an attack point.

At a press conference after the match, coach Kim explained the reason for leaving Lee Seung-woo early with a joke.

Coach Kim laughed, saying, “It was hard for coach Do-kyun Kim.” Suwon FC coach Kim Do-gyun is well known for being close friends with coach Kim Sang-sik, and he coached Team K League in this friendly match.

Coach Kim continued, “I tried to give Lee Seung-woo a lot of playing time, but his muscular condition was not good. Lee Seung-woo also said he could only digest 20 minutes.”

Manager Kim praised Yang Hyun-jun (Gangwon), the striker who helped, and Jo Kyu-seong (Kim Cheon), who was responsible for the team’s first goal, for impressive performances.

In particular, regarding Jo Gyu-seong, who returned to Jeonbuk after being discharged from the military in September, he said, “I think I will be able to do well in Europe, but I wish I didn’t say that I will go to Europe immediately after being discharged.”

Manager Kim said he felt a lot while playing against the ‘big club’ Tottenham.

He said, “Son Heung-min and Harry Kane’s shots all went to the goal, and that’s a class of world-class players. I think I and our players felt a lot while playing hard against Tottenham.”
