Will Bae Jun-ho be the crown prince of director Lee Min-sung.
South Korea's under-22 (U-22) national soccer team, led by head coach Lee Min-sung, will play a friendly match against Australia at Yongin Mir Stadium on the 5th. It is the debut of director Lee Min-sung, who was appointed last month.
Coach Lee Min-sung, who chose the 4-3-3 formation, formed an offense led by Bae Jun-ho. Bae Joon-ho was deployed to the offense along with Jung Jae-sang (Daegu FC) and Chae Hyun-woo (FC Anyang). Yoon Jae-seok (Ulsan HD), Lee Seung-won (Kim Cheon-sang-moo), and Hwang Do-yoon (FC Seoul) were deployed in the midfield. Choi Seok-hyun (Ulsan HD), Choi Woo-jin (Jeonbuk Hyundai), Lee Hyun-yong (Suwon FC), and Park Chang-woo (Busan I-Park) were listed in the four-back. Moon Hyun-ho (Kim Chun) was selected for the goalkeeper position.

In fact, Bae Jun-ho is not a strange player even if he was immediately called up to the national team led by head coach Hong Myung-bo. He also has experience playing seven A matches. However, national team coach Hong Myung-bo has decided to select players who have maintained their sense of play ahead of the two consecutive games in Iraq (away) and Kuwait (home). Therefore, Bae Joon-ho, Yang Min-hyuk (Queens Park Rangers), and Um Ji-sung (Swansea City), who play in the English Championship (second division), whose season ended in early May, have decided not to call out this time.
Instead, Bae Jun-ho was called by director Lee Min-sung. Director Lee Min-sung knows Bae Jun-ho well. This is because Bae Jun-ho stood out when head coach Lee Min-sung was at the helm of Daejeon Hana Citizen. He is also the head coach who sent Bae Joon-ho to Europe.

Under the guidance of director Lee Min-sung, Bae Jun-ho flew to Stoke and became the king of Stoke. Bae Joon-ho, who was named Stoke Player of the Year from his debut season, immediately received the attention of English Premier League (EPL) clubs. Feyenoord, where Hwang In-beom currently plays, is also a club that tried to take Bae Joon-ho.
Bae Joon-ho chose to stay in Stoke for one more season and grow. He showed a little more growth this season, preventing Stoke from being relegated to the English League 1 (third division). Bae Jun-ho is one of the Korean players to pay attention to in the transfer market this summer.
Ahead of the game, head coach Lee Min-sung said, `I still haven't lost my talent. I definitely felt physically better after entering the European stage. Touching and such areas are developing more. However, he advised that he should try harder because his performance is not 100% coming out of the team. Because of its potential, I think he is a player who will go to the higher leagues and lead Korea if his team scores more goals and help," he said, giving praise to his old student.
Since this game is coach Lee Min-sung's debut, it is difficult to expect the players' organizational skills right away. The team did not reflect coach Lee Min-sung's choice in the player selection process. The player who will lead to victory while the organization is not yet complete is the ace after all. Bae Joon-ho has consistently performed well in the national team by age, so you can expect a left-footed shot against Australia.
