Failure in Europe, ignoring Korea as well, Vietnam wants… Lee Seung-woo’s Fallen Status

[스포탈코리아] The status of ‘Korean Messi’ Lee Seung-woo has fallen. They need to find a new team, but Vietnam wants him.

Vietnamese media ‘Jiao Duc Toi Dai’ reported on the 25th (Korean time), “Vietnam V-League capital city Hanoi FC wants to sign ‘Korean Messi’ Seung-woo Lee. It was the choice of Hanoi owner Bau Hien.”

Lee Seung-woo was the player that Korean fans and media showed the greatest interest in. This is because he was a former FC Barcelona youth and performed outstandingly in national teams by age. However, his growth did not meet expectations.

He made his professional debut with the Barça B team in 2016, but transferred after only playing one game. The Italian stage challenge was a failure as a result. In two seasons at Hellas Verona, he played 43 matches and scored only two goals. Eventually, he turned to Belgium.

Belgium also suffered. There were no regular opportunities to play. A loan move to Portimonense in the Portuguese Liga, which was a breakthrough, was also not a solution. After playing 4 games, Lee Seung-woo, who returned to his original team Sint-Truidan, decided to break up and is looking for a new team.

However, it is difficult to choose a suitable stage. There have been intermittent talks of joining the K-League team, but recently, it has been reported that no team is interested in Lee Seung-woo. The high ransom and salaries, as well as the poor sense of play, seem to act as stumbling blocks.

If it greatly contributes to the success and performance of the team, there are many clubs that will reach out to them. However, no team is currently courting. Lee Seung-woo’s current address is being connected with the Vietnam League.

Of course, Hanoi is a team aiming for the top of the Vietnam League. Coach Park Choong-gyun takes the baton, and there are star players such as Nguyen Quang Hai and Doan Van Hau. Nevertheless, considering the spotlight towards Lee Seung-woo, it is true that the Vietnam League transfer rumor is a disappointment.

Will Lee Seung-woo, who has fallen, be able to spread the wings of resurrection again? First of all, the most important thing is to find the right new team.
