"I wasn't nervous, but I'm sorry I couldn't show you what I prepared. The results, too."
Led by coach Hong Myung-bo, the Korean national soccer team tied Jordan 1-1 in the eighth Group B match of the third Asian qualifying round for the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North Korea and the U.S. held at Suwon World Cup Stadium at 8 p.m. on Saturday. Although the Korean team failed to win three consecutive matches, the team maintained its lead. The number of spectators who entered on the day was 41,532.
Following the match against Oman, Lee started as a left-back. The son of Korean soccer legend Lee Eul-yong, Lee consistently played for FC Seoul and gained attention as a next-generation left-back as he played for the national team by age.
He continues to be a starter even after moving to Pohang Steelers. Although his performance in Pohang is not good, Lee Tae-seok is being praised for his good performance. He is a left-back, but he can even play the role of an inverted fullback who comes to the center and plays an active role.
As Lee Myung-jae, who had been the main player since Hong's inauguration, was not selected due to the aftermath of adaptation to Birmingham City, the left-back is Muju Gongsan. Coach Hong Myung-bo gave Lee a chance to start the game. If the match against Oman was a bit disappointing, the match against Jordan was better than expected. Coach Hong Myung-bo also told a press conference after the game that Lee displayed good performance.
Although he showed competitive edge as a starting left-back, he did not look good as he had a 1-1 draw. Nevertheless, he calmly expressed his feelings in an interview with the Mix Zone.

-How do you feel
Coming to such a big position, he started two consecutive games. "I am honored. I prepared two consecutive games with a sense of responsibility, but the result is regrettable.
-What is the order for director Hong Myung-bo?
He talked about the offensive parts. There was a threatening player named Altamari, so there was also a spell for the defensive parts. I listened carefully and tried to stop it.
-He did his own thing rather than the Battle of Oman.
In both games, we were not nervous. It was a shame in the first game because the parts we prepared did not come out well. In today's game, I think we supplemented the parts we felt in the last game.
-What did the players talk about and what did manager Hong Myung-bo say?
I think he said, "I'm still in first place and let's play with responsibility with the idea of going to the World Cup somehow." 메이저놀이터
-His performance is not good at home. Is he under a lot of pressure.
Of course, there is a burden. It is up to us to show good results. It is natural to be criticized for failing to do so. We have to work harder.
