He was not the king of Stoke City for no reason. There is a reason for the Premier League's interest.

South Korea's under-22 (U-22) national soccer team, led by head coach Lee Min-sung, is playing a friendly match against Australia at Yongin Mir Stadium on the 5th. As of the end of the first half, both teams are still scoreless.

The score was not scored, but it was a 45th minute that showed who the crown prince of Lee Min-sung would be. The player who stands out from the list was definitely Bae Jun-ho. He was the only player on the 11-man roster with experience in the national team.

Director Lee Min-sung gave Bae Jun-ho a free-roll role. Under striker Jung Jae-sang, Bae Jun-ho moved freely in front of central midfielders Hwang Do-yoon and Lee Seung-won. He released the attack by crossing the center of the second line and the third line. To put it bluntly, the attack was not carried out properly without Bae Joon-ho.




It was an official game in a month, but Bae Jun-ho's sense of play seemed good. It was Bae Jun-ho's sense of passing through Jeong Jae-sang in the 7th minute of the first half.

However, it was disappointing to get zero shooting. The 21st minute corner kick had a planned pattern. After Choi Woo-jin gave it short, he got a pass again. Choi Woo-jin pretended to cross and gave it to Bae Jun-ho, who came back. Bae Jun-ho had a perfect chance, but the shot went off the post. Bae Jun-ho was also very disappointed.

Bae Joon-ho also created an opportunity in the 24th minute of the first half with a pass that poked Yoon Jae-seok. It was no exaggeration to say that all attacks were created from Bae Joon-ho's toes. There was also a disappointing appearance. In the 28th minute of the first half, Chae Hyun-woo sent a good cross to Bae Joon-ho, who moved to space, but Bae Jun-ho shot in an unstable position. Except for the two disappointing shots, Bae Joon-ho's skills were the most outstanding of both teams in the first 45 minutes.

In fact, Lee Min-sung's selection of players was not organized according to Lee Min-sung's taste due to the delay in the appointment of the coach. Coach Lee Min-sung will determine which players will prepare for next year's Asian Games in Aichi and Nagoya through this friendly match.

There is no need to think about who to play the ace role. It has only been 45 minutes since Lee Min-sung departed, but it has become clear that Bae Joon-ho will be the key in Lee Min-sung. Director Lee Min-sung also provided an environment to make good use of Bae Joon-ho's strengths. It is no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of Lee Min-sung's voyage depends on Bae Jun-ho's toes.

It will also be interesting to see how much Bae Jun-ho can develop in the upcoming season. Bae Joon-ho, who became Player of the Year as soon as he moved to Stoke, received attention from various clubs, including the Premier League, for the first time in a year. After two seasons at Stoke, Bae Jun-ho is contemplating the future. Stoke is also expecting interest in Europe, so Bae Jun-ho could take on a new challenge in the transfer market this summer. Bae Jun-ho is showing well that he is not a player who paid attention in the big leagues for no reason.
