"Blue Dragon" Lee Cheong-yong is back

"I have not played very well in my team, but there are a lot of positions in the national team." Lee Seung-woo has a lot of multiplayer players who can hold various positions with excellent skill. . (Lee Seung-woo) was not chosen this time, but I will watch the situation in the future, "he said.

Bentou has also created a competitive landscape in the Chungwon area. (23 years old, Gwangju) and Kim Jung-min (19 years old, Rippering), instead of taking the rest of the "integrated" Ki Sung-yong (29, Newcastle United). Koo Ja-chul (29, Augsburg), who had acute pyelonephritis symptoms to join the national team last month, is also illustrated for Ben Tuo Ho.

At the same time, director Bentou told Chang Hyun-soo (28, FC Tokyo) that he had been tampered with by volunteer service documents for military service and had been permanently removed from him. National team. "It is very likely that the penalty of Jang Hyun-soo will result in the loss of the national team." In terms of tactics of understanding, Chang Hyun-soo is a very useful player, "but stressed:" We must accept discipline as a result of the decision of the Fair Trade Commission. "

Bentou launched Gwon Kyung-won (26, Tianjin Cheonan), who plays for the Chinese Super League as a substitute for the vacant Chang Hyun-soo. The national team will meet on the 12th and will go straight to Australia and get ready for the match.
