Suwon FC prospect Lee Hyun-yong is being selected by coach Kim Eun-joong at the beginning of the season. Lee Hyun-yong, who showed strong defense from the back with Lee Ji-sol, expressed his gratitude to senior defenders who helped him and is aiming to qualify for the Asian Games national team.

Lee started the home game against Ulsan HD in the fifth round of Hana Bank K League 1 2025 at Suwon Stadium at 2 p.m. on Sunday. Suwon FC, where Lee played full time, met strong team Ulsan at its home turf and tied the game 1-1.

"I thought we should not lose at home against Ulsan, which had won three consecutive games," Lee Hyun-yong, who met with "Goal Dotcom" after the game, said. "Thanks to the help of my brothers, I finished the game well." According to "Bipro Eleven," the official additional data provider of the K-League, Lee Hyun-yong showed off his solid defense skills with six successful aerial ball competitions (the most in the team), nine clearings, seven blocks (the most in a game) and five wins.

Having gained trust from coach Kim Eun-joong in the early days of the season, Lee said he had no idea he would become a starting player from the early days of the season. When asked if he expected him to settle down so quickly, he said, "I didn't expect that at all. I think sincere exercise since winter training helped me," adding, "Kim Eun-joong wants a stable defender. He seems to prefer a defender who always considers the background first rather than a challenging defender."

Lee Hyun-yong, who met Heo Yul, the opponent team's striker who boasts the best scoring sense, proved himself to be a promising player as well. However, he committed a handball foul in the box and gave away a penalty kick. Looking back on the situation at the time, Lee said, "I think luck is also very important in soccer, but I had no luck today. It was not my intention, but I failed to respond in time after being hit by Heo Yul. It was a bit unfair because I was hit by the opponent and hit by my arm."

Lee Hyun-yong and Suwon FC, who faced a desperate crisis, took a sigh when goalkeeper Ahn Jun-su blocked Matthias Lacava (Venezuela)'s penalty. When asked what kind of conversation he had with Ahn Jun-su later, Lee Hyun-yong said, "I couldn't talk because I was too busy during the game. I told Jun-su to thank him so much after the game," and laughed shyly, "Jun-su told me to buy a meal, but of course I have to buy it."

Lee Hyun-yong, who wore Suwon FC uniform in 2023, is improving day by day with the help of veteran seniors. Lee Hyun-yong especially reported that he is learning a lot from his colleague Kim Tae-han. He said, "I learn a lot from Tae-han. Tae-hwan helped me a lot, and I really learned a lot from playing the last five games last year," and thanked, "He taught me various parts such as one-on-one personal mark in defense and how to respond to strikers' penetration."

He also mentioned veteran defender Lee Yong and his partner Lee Ji-sol, who both made 400. "Yong is the most experienced player, so he always tells us how to play the game," Lee Hyun-yong said. "As a center back, Ji-sol tells us a lot about how to stop the striker so that the defender can lead the game in his favor. In particular, I am learning a lot because he showed the scenes directly at the stadium and explained them well."

While the K-League is on an A-match break, Lee will participate in a four-nation friendly tournament to be held in China in March with the U-22 national team. "I've never been to such a place. I'm very nervous and excited," Lee said. "I'm representing Suwon FC, and I'll show you who I am." 바카라사이트

At the end of the interview, Lee hoped to join the Asian Games national team along with his goals for this season. When asked what his goals for this season are, he said, "My goal is to play more than 25 games this season. This is my age when I can participate in the Asian Games. I am aiming for the preliminary round of the U-23 Asian Cup in September as I do not miss the game."
