[St. Andrews (Birmingham, England) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Lee Myung-jae (Birmingham City) comforted his fans. I think I can be relieved."

Lee Myung-jae has been having a difficult time since entering the UK. The contract with Ulsan HD ended in December 2024. He entered Europe as a free agent. He signed a six-month short-term contract with Birmingham City, where Baek Seung-ho is located. At the time of entry, Birmingham City was a land of opportunity. I needed a left fullback with a left foot. It was a challenge to achieve my dream. Lee Myung-jae was a key member of Ulsan's third consecutive K-League victory. In March last year, he also joined the A team. And he has become a built-in left fullback of the national team.

But the reality was not easy. I didn't play in the game. After the K-League, he transferred in the offseason. In the beginning, I focused on building my body. In the meantime, Birmingham City rearranged its lines again. There was no room for Lee Myung-jae. There were many days when he couldn't make the roster. National team coach Hong Myung-bo also had no choice but to turn a blind eye. He was not called to the national team in March. It was a series of difficulties. Fans' worries have grown.




In April, Birmingham City confirmed their promotion. Lee Myung-jae also had an opportunity. He was substituted in the second half of Crawley's drive on the 18th. left a strong impression. In a game against Stineage on Saturday, he started and enjoyed a pitch for 72 minutes.

However, he failed to make the roster in the match against Mansfield at home on the 27th. It was the last home game of the season. The victory ceremony was also held because the championship was confirmed. However, coach Chris Davis turned a blind eye to Lee Myung-jae. Because of the strong nature of the ceremony, the players who have been playing together were asked to play.

I met Lee Myung-jae after the game. He looked fine. ""After winning three consecutive K-League titles, he won for the fourth consecutive year." Lee Myung-jae laughed, "I think I have winning DNA." "I didn't play much, but I can play two games and win the award ceremony, so it's a good day," he added.




Lee Myung-jae said "There are fans who are worried" Still, he showed good performance in the two games. I think you can be relieved"It reassured the fans. He vowed "I'll show you a better appearance.'
