‘Vital performance’ with 3 goals in 17 games this year
Lee Jae-seong (32, Mainz), the national soccer team’s ‘unsung hero’, said after finishing the last A match in 2024, “I will use my regret as an opportunity to improve further.”
The national soccer team led by coach Hong Myung-bo drew 1-1 with Palestine in the 6th match of the 2026 FIFA North and Central America World Cup Asian region 3rd qualifying round held at the Amman International Stadium in Jordan on the 19th (Korean time).
Korea took the lead in Group B with 4 wins, 2 draws, and no loss in 6 games, but drew both times against Palestine.
Lee Jae-seong, who joined his team after completing the national team schedule, posted on his social media (SNS) on the 21st, “This year’s national team schedule is complete. “I tried to get a different result from the first game (in the match against Palestine), but I am very disappointed that I was not able to do so,” he wrote, adding, “I will use this disappointment as an opportunity for the team to develop further in the future.”
This year, Korean soccer suffered a major internal turmoil due to the dismissal of coach Jurgen Klinsmann and the subsequent controversy over the appointment of coach Hong Myung-bo.
Even in chaotic situations, Lee Jae-seong was able to control the team as an ‘unsung hero’ in every important game such as the Asian Cup and the 3rd preliminary round, and also showed ‘valuable performance’ by scoring 3 goals in 17 games this year.
Jaesung Lee gave credit to the fans, saying, “Among many things, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the fans who have always supported me with love and affection.”
He continued, “Thanks to you for always being with me with an unchanging heart, I was always of great strength and reassurance. “Let’s continue to be together until the end,” he concluded.
Jae-seong Lee, who successfully completed the national team schedule, prepares for the away game against Holstein Kiel to be held at 11:30 pm on the 24th.
